Kutxa Fundazioa and DIPC

Kutxa Fundazioa and Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) jointly program talks on current scientific topics of social and cultural interest with the collaboration of prestigious scientists and great communicators. The talks, in Spanish and Basque, are free, do not require registration and are open to all citizens.
In light of the fact that this year we are celebrating the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (UN), we present the talks “Kuantikaz blai! - ¡Empápate de Cuántica!”. On May 14 we will start with a talk by Aran Garcia-Lekue, Ikerbasque professor at DIPC and expert in nanoelectronics, “Aldatu txipa, murgildu kuantikan!". On September 2, we will be joined by Eduardo Sáenz de Cabezón, mathematician at Univesidad de La Rioja and science popularizer of great trajectory, presenting his talk “Manotazos en una habitación oscura. La llegada de la computación cuántica”.
From 2019 to 2023 the lectures were organzied in the frame of ZientziKutxa conference cycle. In the different editions, scientists, such as the physicist Petra Rudolf, the astrobiologist Carlos Briones or the marine archaeologist Maria Intxaustegi participated, covering a whole series of topics ranging from more fundamental issues such as quantum physics or the origin of life, to scientific fields more related to exploration and field work such as volcanology, astronomical education in Africa or polar expeditions. The lectures are available on our youtube channel.
Past editions:

Zientziakutxa 2023. Red hot
Red in its most intense and evocative forms acquires a notable presence in this cycle in which volcanoes, climate change, the figure of the vampire and neuroscience were discussed.

Zientziakutxa 2021. Traveller gen
At a time of restrictions caused by the pandemic, Zientziakutxa vindicated scientist´s traveler gene beyond physical and mental borders.

Zientziakutxa 2020. Contemporary science at your fingertip
In 2020 the films Automata, The Tree of Life and Awakenings screened in the Cinema and Science series served to discuss robotics, the origin of life and the brain, among other topics.
Zientziakutxa 2019
Gravitational waves or the first photograph of a black hole were two astronomical milestones addressed in the first edition of the series, together with other topics such as AI or quantum technologies.
