10 años de la Unidad de Cultura Científica e Innovación de la Universidad de Burgos

This book commemorates ten years of activity by the Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit (UCC+i) of the University of Burgos (UBU), from its establishment in November 2014 to 2024. Over the past decade, the UCC+i has become a benchmark in scientific communication, promoting science vocations among young people, and increasing the visibility of the knowledge produced at the university.
Structured into thematic sections, the book explores the origins of the UCC+i starting in 2000 with Science Weeks, leading to the formal creation of the unit and the development of major projects such as UBUinvestiga, La Estación de la Ciencia y la Tecnología, and a wide range of initiatives including contests, exhibitions, videos, events, researcher training, and social media actions. It includes data on impact, testimonials, a timeline of key milestones, annual summaries, and a record of all contributors involved in this journey.
With over 100 projects and activities featured, the book showcases the evolution of a cross-disciplinary strategy that combines science, technology, art, history, and public engagement. UBUinvestiga, as a multimedia channel, has played a key role in digital outreach, while La Estación has become an educational and training hub open to all citizens.
This volume is not only an institutional record but also a collective tribute to the collaborative work of over 40 people and partnerships with local, regional, and national organizations such as the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT). The legacy of this decade stands as an inspiration for the future of scientific outreach at UBU and beyond.
