This year, IREC successfully celebrated the second edition of the Crazy About Energy program, an initiative aimed at inspiring and educating young students in the field of renewable energy and energy technology. This edition saw the active participation of numerous secondary school students who showed great interest in science and technology.
Crazy About Energy is a program designed to offer students an in-depth immersion in the world of energy, combining theoretical sessions with practical experiences in IREC’s laboratories. The main goal is to spark scientific and technological vocations among young people, giving them a practical and applied view of energy-related disciplines.
During the 2023 edition, participants had the opportunity to work with experts in various IREC research areas. They explored topics such as solar energy, wind energy, green hydrogen, and energy storage technologies. The students conducted experiments in laboratories, attended lectures by renowned researchers, and participated in visits to the center’s facilities.
The closing ceremony of this edition was particularly moving, highlighting the students’ commitment and enthusiasm. The participants presented their final projects, showcasing their ability to apply the knowledge gained during the program. Their presentations demonstrated innovation, creativity, and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the energy field.
The Crazy About Energy program not only offers a unique educational experience but also has a significant impact on shaping the future professionals of the energy sector. Students who participate in this program develop scientific and technical skills while gaining environmental awareness and a commitment to sustainability.
Such initiatives are essential for fostering a scientific culture among new generations and ensuring that Catalonia continues to be a leader in energy research and innovation.
