Who are we?

Welcome to the Office of Scientific Culture, an organisation dedicated to the transmission, communication and dissemination of knowledge to society. We are committed to bridging the gap between the scientific community and the general public, promoting science that is inclusive, diverse and accessible, in line with standards of social responsibility, ethics and knowledge governance.

At the Office of Scientific Culture, we take on the responsibility of coordinating public communication and the dissemination of research findings and the scientific and technological knowledge generated by our institution. In this way, we act as intermediaries and a link between the University’s research staff and the public, facilitating the transfer of knowledge to students, educators, the media and the wider community.

Our objectives

To fulfil our role in supporting and promoting the University, the Office is organised around two key areas of action:

Public communication of science:  Its aim is to act as an information channel that highlights the University’s scientific activity. It focuses on bringing university research to the public sphere, ensuring that the institution’s academic work and knowledge generation are clearly reflected in society.
Dissemination of scientific and technological knowledge: This focuses on organising initiatives and activities that bring science closer to the public in an accessible way. This area prioritises engagement with the educational community to spark an interest in knowledge at an early age and to foster a culture of science and critical thinking within society.

UAX and Las Loras Geopark have signed an agreement to promote the ‘Heritage Education through Ancient Landscapes’ (DiPA) project. This initiative transforms archaeological and cultural heritage into innovative educational tools to connect science and the local area with the public.

Atlas of Human Imagination: imagination is the invisible driving force behind education, the raw material of the arts, the source of all invention and the true catalyst for entrepreneurship.

From the philosophy of Thales to The Beatles: twelve pioneers to help us understand the total solar eclipse. Far from being confined to the realm of science, this project offers an interdisciplinary perspective that brings together philosophy, astronomy, physics, optics, space exploration, art and popular culture.

Women and Girls in Science Day 2026. Five female researchers from UAX took part in the event, highlighting how women break down barriers and drive science forward.
