The “Coffee with Science” is an event organized by the ULPGC Sustainability Office, the Government of the Canary Islands and the Elder Museum as part of the activities of the UniPlaNet Project for awareness-raising in education and environmental sustainability.
The first of these “coffees” was held last Friday, January 24th at the Elder Museum, where researchers from the TGBA Research Group participated hosting three debate tables on issues about air quality, risks of pollution related to ballast waters and the problems associated with plastic mismanagement. Again this week, on Friday 31st, a new session is expected. This time it will be followed by a collective presentation of the conclusions reached.
The objective of the “Coffee with Science” is to bring to the public the research topics that are currently being developed by young scientists at the ULPGC, while collecting from the audience the main concerns and visions, sharing different views and reducing the gap between scientific knowledge and street-level knowledge.
Climate change, as a central and common theme at the various tables, addressed the multiple effects it can produce on oceanography, marine pollution, air quality, coastal transformation or preferences in the tourism sector.
Next Friday the debate, from 5 to 6 pm, will also be well accompanied with coffee and cakes. Next, the conclusions session will take place. Admission is free of charge upon registration on the Elder Museum website. Below are some images taken by the Elder Museum.
