UPV-EHU and the Basque Government have started Science Week with mutual thanks
The event comes after tension over the funding of the public university, but both institutions have called for cooperation and mutual respect.
The rector of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Joxerramon Bengoetxea, and the adviser for Science, Universities and Innovation, Juan Ignacio Pérez Iglesias, inaugurated this Wednesday the XXV edition of the Science Week with mutual thanks after a few days of rejection on funding.
In the context of this controversy, Bengoetxea asked the Basque Government for greater financial support for the Basque public university in order to avoid "paralysis" and for "institutional respect".
On the other hand, the counsellor said that "hyperbolic" language would not improve funding, and warned that the public university would be used as a "political battering ram."
Both have participated in the opening of the Science, Technology and Innovation Week in the capital city, San Sebastián, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Barakaldo, with about 200 activities.
Counselor Pérez Iglesias thanked the rector for inviting him to the event and in his speech highlighted his department's "commitment" to science outreach events.
"Spreading knowledge is important because it puts science in public space and what is not known is not loved," said Pérez Iglesias, who stressed that if something is not "socially valued, the authorities have no incentive to protect it."
In this way, he has advocated the prestige of science so that it is "more supported by institutions."
For his part, the rector of the UPV/EHU, Joxerramon Bengoetxea, has expressed his satisfaction with the "power of attraction" that aroused among the media the opening of Science Week and has thanked Counsellor Pérez Iglesias and Equality and Festivities Councilor Itziar Urtasun.
Under theslogan 'For a planet without plastic science', they will publicize the research work of the Basque public university through didactic courses, exhibitions, lectures and shows, among others.
In addition to programming for the general public, about 5,000 secondary and baccalaureate students will visit the workshops organized daily.
