📋 Tender Overview
The most important scientific dissemination events in the country, Peru with Science and Eureka, organized by CONCYTEC, will take place from November 7 to 9 in Huamanmarca Square in Huancayo. The National Council for Science, Technology and Innovation (CONCYTEC) announces the 12th edition of Peru with Science, the scientific fair of Peru and the 34th edition of the Eureka School Fair, which will be held in the city of Huancayo, presenting the advances and products of scientific and technological research that is being developed in our country, as well as the winning projects of the Eureka National School Competition for Science and Technology.
From November 7 to 9, Plaza Huamanmarca will be the setting for these great events, with free admission for all those who wish to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of science.
Attendees will be able to visit nearly 100 stands from public and private universities, public research institutes, technology companies, organizations linked to science, technology and innovation (STI) and school delegations from all regions of the country that won the regional stage of Eureka. They will also be able to enjoy various entertainment activities and outreach to science and technology, such as recreational science shows, impersonations of scientists, exhibitions, workshops, among others.
This mega event is possible thanks to the collaboration between CONCYTEC, the Regional Government of Junin, the Provincial Municipality of Huancayo, the National University of the Center and the Continental University. Together they have prepared a grand opening on Thursday 7 at 9:00 a.m., with a vibrant Science Parade along Avenida Real, which will fill the streets of Huancayo with color and enthusiasm, celebrating the importance of scientific research for the progress of our society.
Peru with Science is not only a fair, it is the largest space for bringing the population and science together, a window to the talent and effort that is deployed in the country to build a better future. In the previous edition in Arequipa, the fair attracted more than 10 thousand people, and this year in Huancayo it is expected to exceed that number with more than 12 thousand visitors.
National School Fair Eureka
Likewise, this year the National School Fair Eureka will also be held, which will present the school projects that will compete in the national stage of the school science and technology contest. At this event there will be more than 60 stands, with the winning schoolchildren from each of the 26 regions of the country.
Among the great attractions of the fair, 16 science and technology clubs, from various regions, will present projects that seek to solve local problems. These clubs, made up of children and adolescents passionate about science and technology, reflect the talent and creativities that exists in Peru. Junin, in particular, stands out with the largest number of science clubs in the entire country, which makes this region a key driver of national scientific development.
The National School Fair Eureka is the national school contest that has been held in coordination with the Ministry of Education for 34 years, being to date the most important in terms of participation of schoolchildren from all regions of the country. This contest consists of four stages, the last of which concerns the holding of the fair with the presentation of the winning works of the regional stage and the awarding of the winning schoolchildren, by CONCYTEC.
The fact
The Peru with Science Fair is the main event of the National Science Week, which has been held annually since 2013. After virtual editions due to the pandemic, the event returned with force to the face-to-face format in 2022, and continues to tour various cities in the country, promoting scientific culture and motivating vocations in science and technology.
