UPV INVENTIONS FAIR: Repensat i fet
June 17 – July 21, 2015
Every two years, the Universitat Politècnica de València organizes the Inventions Fair, with the aim of bringing the research carried out at the laboratories closer to the general public. The exhibition brings together about twenty products, prototypes and models developed in the UPV departments, institutes and centres.
Repensat i fet (Rethought and Done) is the title of a show which offers us the opportunity to get a closer look at the work of researchers and students at the UPV, in areas such as aeronautics, automotion, new mobile applications, chemistry, construction, health or agrifood technologies, among others.
In addition, as a new feature, the Invention Fair opens its doors to future researchers. In this exhibition, you can also see the two winning projects of the Petits Grans Invents 2015 competition, aimed at ESO, high-school and middle grade vocational students.
The Fira dels Invents is an event promoted by the UPV, with the collaboration of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.
