The program will kick off on 8 February with the opening of the Elhuyar exhibition “Mujeres en Ciencia” (Women in Science) at the Eureka! Science Museum. Thursday 11 February will be celebrated with the special screening of Contagion (Steven Soderbergh, 2011) presented by Itziar Pérez, Director of Osakidetza Donostialdea, as part of the Cinema and Science Cycle being organized by DIPC, the Basque Film Library and the Festival of San Sebastian.

Pint of Science (PoS) 2021, is a science outreach festival that for the sixth year proposes an informative and relaxed meeting between researchers and the general public. This year the festival changes the atmosphere of bars for a convenient and safe format: online streaming. The complete program, with topics and schedules can now be consulted on the website https://pintofscience.es/.

The book sets out to explain to the general public how cutting-edge research is conducted in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. How does “the big challenge of the small” materialize on a day-to-day basis? How can a truly innovative, daring project come to fruition? The story, written in a lively style by the journalist Elixabete Garmendia, answers this question which can now be read in Basque, Spanish and English.

Pint of Science is held simultaneously in more than one hundred cities and towns across Spain and in 27 countries on five continents. In Donostia / San Sebastián, the festival will host 54 scientific talks, making the city the second in Spain in terms of number of sessions and the first in talks per capita—clear evidence of the strong local research ecosystem.
