In 2018 IMDEA Software researchers have participated
in multiple events related to dissemination
and the promotion of science.
European Researchers’ Night – IMDEA-CSI:
Crime Scene Investigation (Season 2)
(9th Edition, September 28, 2018)
In September 2018, as in previous years, the IMDEA Software Institute participated in the “European
Researchers’ Night”, coordinated by the Fundación para el Conocimiento madrimasd. This year’s event
was titled “IMDEA-CSI: Crime scene investigation (Season 2)”. As in the previous edition, the IMDEA
Institutes collaborated with the Spanish National Police in this event, coordinated by IMDEA Software,
that showed once again how science and technology can help in solving a crime.
With undoubted police and scientific rigor, IMDEA researchers and members of the scientific Police
demonstrated how research done in laboratories extends “out on the street” on many occasions, including
at the scene of a crime, to assist in police work.
Radio interview
To help spread the word about the event, Manuel Carro, the Institute’s Director,
José Manuel Torralba, Director-General for University and Higher Art Studies,
and J. Pedro Fernández, from the IMDEA Materials Institute, were interviewed
in the Spanish National Radio program “Por tres razones” (For Three Reasons)
on Friday, September 28th.
