La Semana de la Ciencia se dirige a todos los públicos y tiene como objetivos hacer accesible la ciencia y la tecnología a la ciudadanía y fomentar las vocaciones científicas entre los más jóvenes.

Una veintena de investigadores e investigadoras participan en charlas y talleres para acercar la ciencia a todo el mundo.

El objetivo es testear un monitor de bajo coste, de fácil uso y no invasivo, que servirá para controlar los valores de la presión intracraneal (PIC), cosa que ayudará a controlar y tratar diferentes patologías cerebrales agudas.
