The Observatori de la Comunicació
Científica (Science Communication Observatory) at
Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona was the first organisation to
volunteer to participate in the World-Wide Day in Science in its
inaugural year of 2004.
The Science Communication
Observatory runs the oldest and largest science communication
degree program in the Spanish-speaking world. They were also host
to the international Public Communication of Science and
Technology (PCST) conference in 2004, which coincided with the
official launch of the WWDS website.
Observatory staff, Gemma Revuelta &
Mònica López arranged for their masters degree
students to capture the day in science as a major part of the
first course in their program of study. Students' teams created
three projects that are now published in
this website.
First, check to make sure that
your computer can play this video. Is your software more than two
years old? There might be a problem. Specifically, if your
computer has not had its Quicktime or Windows Media Player
software updated in the last 2 years, then it probably will not be
able to play the movie. Sorry about that.
