The Madrid Science and Innovation Week is an event of scientific dissemination and citizen participation organized by the Community of Madrid through the Fundación para el Conocimiento madri+d whose objective is to actively involve society in the processes of research and development in science, technology and innovation. The aim is to attract new audiences, in principle far from science, and to involve new agents and institutions in the scientific process and make science visible, taking it out of the places where it is done and bringing it to public spaces.
