Different Cordovan courtyards will be the scene of 23 micro-encounters lasting an hour and a half in which research groups from the UCO and citizens will be able to talk in a relaxed environment and with an appetizer in between on the circular economy, mental health, cancer or the oak, among other topics.On the other hand, the European Night of Researchers started this Thursday.More than fifty people participated on the terrace of the El Barón bar in the 'Science at the Bar' activity, in which eight researchers and five researchers from the University of Córdoba (UCO) explained in an "entertaining and informative" way the attending public the main aspects, but also the most curious, of the lines of research to which they dedicate their studies.At the event, the participating research staff barely had five minutes each to explain their work, which has dealt with very diverse topics, from the humanities and social sciences to medicine, including agriculture.The researchers Tania Padilla Aguilera, Minerva Aguilar Rivero and María Alonso Roldán have spoken, for example, of the social sciences and humanities.The first, from the 'PASO' group, explained the current publishing process of a book written in the Golden Age.A process that includes the phases of transcription, updating of the language, labeling in categories and digitization that allows creating links to search within the text.Aguilar Rivero, from the 'Economy of Tourism, Culture and Sport' group, highlighted the advantages of film tourism, but also the need to rethink it towards a more sustainable path."The idea is to make tourism more permeable and less seasonal so that it does not end up being such an uncomfortable mass event," she pointed out.Meanwhile, Alonso Roldán has delved into the connectivity of the rural world, within the framework of the Desira project in which she has been working for three years, to create a future in which the emptied Spain is more prepared, connected, resilient and strong.The field and the fight against climate change have starred in some of the talks.Cipriano Díaz Gaona, from the Animal Production group, explained the advantages of extensive livestock farming, where animals are raised in freedom and eat from the pastures that the land provides, since it allows improving biodiversity and soil fertility or fighting against climate change.The Diverfarming project has been present through Jesús Aguilera Huertas.His studies have proven that the diversification of crops in olive groves improves carbon sequestration in the soil, as well as its biodiversity, and reduces its erosion rates.The dehesa and remote sensing mechanisms through satellites that offer data on soil reflectance or temperature, was the topic of the micro-talk by Ana Andreu Méndez, from the Unit of Excellence-Department of Agronomy of the UCO (Dauco).“With this data it is possible to develop tools with which to face climate change”, she stated.Energy has been another topic that has focused the micro-meetings.Juan Luis Gómez Cámer, from the FQM-175 group, explained different alternatives to lithium, a limited material with which batteries are currently made.His group is working on sulfur batteries with graphite or sodium with carbon from the revaluation of waste.Taking advantage of the darkness of the afternoon, Luis Manuel Fernández Ahumada, from the 'Physics for Renewable Energies and Resources' group, has shown how heliostats (mirror devices that redirect light) worked to take advantage of the sun's energy and, thus, reduce the cost of energy.During the afternoon medicine was also discussed from two different perspectives.Rocío Navarrete Calvo, from the 'Anesthesia and Veterinary Surgery' group, explained the different alternatives that exist in veterinary medicine to measure the level of pain in animals, from a visual assessment scale (more subjective) to the use of biomarkers (more objective ).The other perspective was artificial intelligence, specifically, the ability of machines to see and understand what they observe, and thus create applications that allow doctors to monitor patients, in the case of the study carried out the team of Manuel Jesús Marín Jiménez, in traumatology patients.Regarding technology, the researcher Juan José Gallego Martínez, from the 'Vitenol' group, has tackled a project that uses low-cost sensors responsible for reporting the quality of their wines to those who are dedicated to viticulture.Finally, Adrián Pastor Espejo and Manuel Becerra Fernández have spoken about construction materials, but they have done so from two different historical moments.Thus, Pastor Espejo, who is part of the 'Inorganic Chemistry and Chemical Engineering' group, has focused on the present and how to use sustainable construction materials that use chemical products that extract and take advantage of the sun's energy and thus reduce atmospheric pollution. .For his part, Becerra Fernández has stuck to the past when talking about classical archaeology, a discipline that studies ancient rocks and all the information they offer.For example, if a type of rock was found in a city that could only be used by a Roman emperor, that meant that that city had a special link with power.The European Night of Researchers is a scientific dissemination project promoted by the European Commission within the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions and Citizens of the Horizon Europe program, coordinated in Andalusia by the Discover Foundation with funding from the Ministry of Economic Transformation, Industry, Knowledge and Universities.The consortium is made up of the Universities of Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga, Pablo de Olavide and Seville, eight CSIC centers (the House of Science, the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia, the Zaidín Experimental Station, the Institute of Advanced Social Studies, the López-Neyra Institute of Parasitology and Biomedicine, the School of Arab Studies, the Institute of Sustainable Agriculture and the Experimental Station for Arid Zones), the Imgema-Royal Botanical Garden of Córdoba and the Fundación Pública Progreso and Health through Genyo and the Health System Biobank.At the same time, Radio Televisión de Andalucía, the Andalusian Institute for Agricultural, Fisheries, Food and Ecological Production Research and Training (Ifapa) and the Andalusian Knowledge Agency are strategic partners in the project and will collaborate closely in its development.Are you a Cordopolitan fan but the day to day
