La divulgación científica en la Universidad Pública de Navarra. La Unidad de Cultura Científica [Science popularisation at the Public University of Navarre. Scientific Culture Unit]

Abstract

The social demand for science popularisation is thriving. National and European research policies establish the need for research to respond to global challenges and, in this regard, one objective which has been set is to increase the scientific culture of the citizenry. This article briefly describes what the Public University of Navarre’s scientific popularisation activity consists of and analyses, in greater detail, the scientific popularisation actions and programmes that it develops through its Scientific Culture Unit. Finally, some challenges and possible future lines of development are set out.
