Great success at the G-Night, a wonderful day inspired by the European Researchers' Night simultaneously held in different cities across Europe on the last Friday of September. CiQUS attended one more year the activities held in the Claustro do Colexio Fonseca (University of Santiago de Compostela) where an appealing outreach programme was offered to the general public. Under the slogan "Creative Consciences", CiQUS researchers were completely devoted to a fun and friendly day to engage people through experiments, workshops and demonstrations.
Thanks to the CiQUS MSCA Fellows (Dr. Sajid Fazal, Dr. Esperanza Padín, Dr. Adrián Sánchez, Dr. Naveen Tiwari, Dr. Mayra Quemé), adults and kids were able to enjoy and learn about nanotransporters, their importance for drug delivery and diagnostics, as well as electroactive polymers and their key role in the next generation of electronic devices. Once again, and thanks to CiQUS volunteers, the "bouncing ball" was a great success among the kids, who did not hesitate to get their hands dirty with colours. With a huge success in terms of participation, the third edition consolidated G-Night as one of the ma annual outreach events in Galicia.
