MISSION
The association "Cienca sin Barreras" was founded in 2014 and its aim is to promote science, among people with
functional diversities and those who do not have wide access to scientific knowledge, and scientific activities covering
various disciplines. The project has as its motto "science for everybody".
T
HE SOLUTION THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED
The association offers various and numerous activities and proposes an offer based on divulgation of scientific contents,
intended for collectives that otherwise would find difficulties to access them. The accessibility includes various issues

the schedule and a place to be performed.

gathering more Spanish members within all scientific disciplines that prior used to being associated were working by
themselves. The costs of the implementation are focused in the acquisition of specific material, like for example a 3D
