UB Honors Professors for Excellence in Scientific Outreach
The Universitat de Barcelona (UB) has recognized professors Xavier Giménez and Meritxell Aulinas for their outstanding contributions to scientific outreach. Giménez, from the Faculty of Chemistry, and Aulinas, from the Faculty of Earth Sciences, received the XI and XII Distinctions for the best outreach activities, respectively. These awards, granted by the UB’s Social Council and the Senate of Doctors, aim to promote the dissemination of scientific knowledge to society. The ceremony was presided over by the university’s rector, Joan Guàrdia, and attended by other university officials.
Additionally, the Claustre de Doctors Prize was awarded to Laura Castellet for her doctoral thesis on the soundscape of medieval Catalonia, which involved interdisciplinary research and experimental archaeology to reconstruct historical auditory experiences.
