IMD in Brazil
A few IMD events are being hosted in Brazil this year! See details below for more information
International Microorganism Day in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
When: 17 and 21 September 2024
Where: Virgílio Várzea Public School and Quinta da Boa vista Park – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The dissemination of scientific knowledge is fundamental to promote awareness about the relevance of science to the daily life of the population, which is extremely important in countries like Brazil that have experienced a drastic budget crisis in science and, therefore, people have no knowledge or contact with science.
Therefore, on 17 September, the international microorganism day, the event will be held at Virgílio Várzea Public School, where our group will carry out dynamics and activities related to microbiology with different classes throughout the day. On 21 September, we will be on the streets (Quinta da Boa Vista Park) to spread knowledge in microbiology to the lay public, covering some basic aspects related to microbiology especially related to our daily lives.
Objective:
The goal of this event is the dissemination of scientific knowledge through activities that support the scientific community and connect it with the lay public, spreading microbiology knowledge to as many people as possible, bringing people into microbiology world in a fun and playful way.
