FOTCIENCIA aims to bring science and technology closer to society through the artistic and visual view of a collection of scientific images and explanations of the depicted scientific facts. This collection has been exhibited in museums, exhibition rooms, city halls, research centres, and universities in Spain, and recently at the Spanish Embassy in Berlin.
