The Paranymph Hall of the Historic Building of the University of Barcelona hosted the final of the Exporecerca Jove, an international research fair in which upper secondary education students from all over the world present their research projects. Of the more than one hundred projects that took part, ten finalists were selected and have reached the final at the UB.
The Exporecerca Jove, which this year reaches its 25th edition, has lasted six days. The students have presented their research projects in stands that they have customised themselves, in order to explain their research to the visitors. The fair is organised by the Association to Promote Young Research (MAGMA), a non-governmental organisation that aims to promote among young people the taste and passion for research, as well as the exchange of experiences with other similar national and international associations.
The awards of the exhibition give the winner the opportunity to take part in other national or international competitions. Some examples of these are the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (United States); Mostratec (Brazil); the Belgian Science-Expo (Belgium); the I Giovani e le scienze (Italy); the Junior Water Prize (Sweden), and Galiciencia (Spain), among others. Among the finalists who participated in the final at the UB, the first prize of expoRecerca Jove (Liysf prize) went to the study “The modernisation of wings: aerodynamic study of aircraft wings using a wind tunnel”, by David Caro.
