We have several projects related to scientific outreach for the general public and the training of our chapter members.<\/p>

Projects of Scientific outreach<\/b><\/h1>

Guided visits to the Laboratory of Optics<\/h2>

Throughout the year, we receive visits of students from primary and secondary schools, or the general public. In these visits to the Optics Lab, we carry out very visual Physics experiments related to light, adapted to the knowledge of the audience. The experiments cover diverse fields such as color, reflection and refraction, image formation, fluorescence and phosphorescence, holography or polarization. In the case of high school visits, the activity is usually accompanied by an introductory talk. Take a look at our primary education<\/a> or secondary education<\/a> tabs for more information.<\/p>

Activities in Educational centers<\/h2>

We go to educational centers to carry out scientific outreach activities on Physics, normally focused on Optics and light. Take a look at our primary education<\/a> or secondary education<\/a> tabs for more information.<\/p>

International Day of Light<\/h2>

Every 16th May we celebrate the International Day of Light, an international event commemorating the first emission of laser light, on 16th May 1960. This global initiative aims to highlight the role that light plays in today’s world.<\/p>

Visibility of Women Scientists and gender inequilities<\/h2>

Exhibition \u00abScientific Women\u00bb.\u00a0 <\/span><\/i>On the occasion of February 11, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, in 2017 we prepared an exhibition on the work of various scientists throughout history that was exhibited at the USAL Faculty of Sciences.<\/span><\/p>

See the exhibition \u00abScientific Women\u00bb online<\/span><\/p>

Pint of Science: \u201cFrom Atoms to Galaxies\u201d<\/h2>

The Pint of Science is an international event that tries to connect society with science through popular science talks in bars. Since 2017 we have organized the section \u201cFrom Atoms to Galaxies\u201d in Salamanca.
<\/span><\/p>

Scientific outreach talks<\/h2>

Occasionally we organize science outreach talks given by one of our members or by an invited speaker. In 2021 we organize the cycle of online conferences \u00abOnce upon a Nobel<\/a>\u00bb in collaboration with other student societies.<\/span><\/p>

Welcome Fairs<\/h2>

In the months of September and October we participate in some Welcome Fairs to make ourselves known in the city, and in particular among the university community.<\/p>

Scientific outreach videos<\/h2>

Since the origin of\u00a0 OSAL Student Chapter’s Youtube channel<\/a> in 2016, , we have created audiovisual content about light properties and optics phenomena: reflection and refraction, interference, diffraction, holography, polarization, the electromagnetic spectrum and its regions, the perception of color or the characteristics of laser light. Visit our YouTube channel and the video section<\/a> of this website!
<\/span><\/p>

Outreach through social media<\/h2>

We create content on social media (Twitter<\/a>, Instagram<\/a> y Facebook<\/a>) using striking images or surveys to spred optics phenomena and concepts.<\/span><\/p>

Book \u201cThe laser, the light of our time\u201d<\/h2>

This open access book was published in 2010 to try to bring the general public closer to one of the most fundamental tools of our time, with scientific rigor and accessible language.<\/p>

Outreach events in scientific conferences<\/h2>

Quantum Latino 2021<\/em><\/h3>

We organized a remote outreach activity with schools in Spain and South America as part of the Quantum Latino conference<\/a> on Quantum Information Science and Technology, held from June 8-10, 2021.<\/p>

Members training project<\/b><\/h1>

Op-Sessions\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/h2>

These are seminars on some current research topics in Optics organized in collaboration with the Laser and Photonics Applications research group (ALF-USAL).<\/span><\/p>

Organization of scientific events<\/h2>

IONS-9 Salamanca<\/em><\/h3>

The IONS-9 Salamanca<\/a> International Chapters meeting held from 7-9th April 2011 was the IONS <\/span>(<\/span>International OSA Network of Students<\/a>) in Europe with the largest audience until then.<\/span><\/p>

I Workshop of Optica Student Chapters in Spain<\/em><\/h3>

In collaboration with other Spanish chapters, we organized the 1st Optical Student Chapters Workshop in Spain, held on May 20, 2021 in a virtual format.<\/p>

Participation in congresses and scientific conferences<\/h2>

Spanish Optical Society Meeting RNO 2021<\/em><\/h3>

We presented the poster \u00abOptics outreach in times of a pandemic: online activities by OSAL student chapter\u00bb at the Spanish Optical Society Meeting held from November 22-24, 2021.

I Workshop Mujeres en \u00d3ptica y Fot\u00f3nica 2019<\/em><\/h3>

We participated in this event organized by the Area of Women in Optics and Photonics of \u200b\u200bthe Spanish Society of Optics\u00a0(<\/span>SEDOPTICA-MOF<\/a>) in September 2019 as a meeting point for women in the Optics and Photonics community in Spain.<\/span><\/p>

Laser Khet Soir\u00e9es<\/h2>

Khet is a strategy game similar to chess in which lasers are used. Some afternoons we organize this social event at Caf\u00e9-Bar Puccini, and in particular, the San Alberto Khet Tournament, on the occasion of the Science Faculty festivity, has become one of the traditional events of our student chapter. Visit our Laser Khet<\/a> page for more information.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
