On 26 September 2025, the annual European Researchers’ Night brought science, curiosity, and public engagement to the streets, labs, museums, and plazas across Europe. As part of this Europe-wide celebration, our research group joined in with a lineup of events, talks, and interactive moments designed to bring our work—and the questions we grapple with—into public view.

Below is a recap of our research group’s events in this very special evening!

Starting up early in Granada, our team member Miriam Fernández Santiago led the activity for schools “Metáfora Transhumanista: Estética de la Representación de la Inteligencia Artificial” at the Paseo del Salón.

Back in Zaragoza, we had a busy line-up of events. First off, María Ferrández Sanmiguel presented her tale for children “El gran hilo que todo lo une – Una historia posthumana” at the Patio Inglés.

At the same time, our predoctoral researcher María Abizanda Cardona helped kids discover the work of women scientists in the Purple Corner.

Afterwards, she took part of the Speed Dating activity at the Cafeteria of CaixaForum, where she had the opportunity to share our group’s research with the adult public.

To finish off the day in Zaragoza, María Abizanda Cardona delivered a short talk about her thesis work called “Sherlocks del siglo XXI: ¿Puede la novela de misterio ayudarnos a resolver la crisis climática?” at the Late Show: Investigación a escena event.

At the same time but all the way to Granada, our team member Miriam Fernández Santiago took part of the same event, delivering the short talk “¿Te gusta lo Neoapolíneo? ¡Bienvenido al Posthumanismo!”.

As always, it’s been a very fruitful and exciting day! We love to chat about our research with our peers and the public, and are already looking forward to next year. ✨
