UC3M participates in the Madrid es Ciencia Fair 2023

The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) is taking part in the 12th Madrid es Ciencia Fair on Friday 24th of March in Hall 5 of IFEMA. The scientific outreach activities which will be carried out at the UC3M stand aim to bring together, in an enjoyable way, some of the R&D&I work carried out at the University in different disciplines, such as communication, history, aerospace engineering, telematics engineering and mathematics. The activities taking place that day from 10 am to 2:30 pm are: "Discover how to carry out open digital archaeology" and "Journey to digital cinema since the 19th century". In "Discover how to carry out open digital archaeology", researchers from UC3M's Humanities Department: History, Geography and Art show how they work in the University's Open Digital Archaeology Laboratory (LADA, in its Spanish acronym), where they carry out citizen science focused on the analysis and digital processing of information related to the Community of Madrid's archaeological heritage. Those attending will be able to use tools used in this field or learn how to photograph a site or how to process images for research. This outreach activity is part of a project supported by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT, in its Spanish acronym) of the Ministry of Science and Innovation. In the activity "Journey to digital cinema since the 19th century", lecturers from the TECMERIN (Television-cinema, Memory, Representation and Industry) Research Group from UC3M's Communications Department, will show how some pre-cinematographic inventions work and their technical evolution up to now.
