The exhibition “20 Years of Research on the Campus Gandia” is a project that aims to bring the scientific research being carried out on our Campus closer to society on the occasion of its 20th Anniversary. In this exhibition, consisting of a total of 21 posters, you can see some of the most important research projects of the Campus Gandia, such as: new methods for pesticide analysis in environmental samples; sonic crystals, control and management of acoustic waves; electronic-nose technologies for the characterization of digestive diseases; enhancement of the natural and cultural heritage and tourism product design, etc. The exhibition is complemented with materials and devices that can be viewed in the display cases, such as speaker parts, acoustic insulation with recycled materials, sonic crystals or even an old mountain weather station. Also related to research, the CRAI multipurpose hall is continuously projecting a series of videos<\/a> consisting of interviews with researchers and professors about the research being conducted on campus. Moreover, educational materials have been prepared so that the college-bound students visiting us can work together on-site in teams on assignments about the contents of the exhibition.<\/p>\n
