The CNAG participates in the seventh edition of the Campus Program Científicos de Verano (Summer Scientists) that is taking place throughout the month of July. During this month groups of 30 students will visit the centre and learn what we do at the CNAG. Our lab and bioinformatics staff will show them the facilities, explain how sequencing and analysis of genomes is performed and answer any questions they may have.

The Program is an initiative of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport which has the support of Obra Social “la Caixa”. It has the objective to enhance the interest of students of 4th of ESO and 1st of Bachillerato in science, technology and innovation. Over 1,900 students will participate in scientific projects designed by university teachers and developed in research centres.
