CNPEM 360
The Virtual Tour of the CNPEM offers visitors an immersive experience with functionalities inspired by the most modern exhibitions at museums and universities. CNPEM 360 combines more than 40 panoramic images and 150 spots with multimedia content like videos, photos, infographics, drone imagery, and animations, as well as presentations by professionals who work at CNPEM.
Funded with resources from the MCTI and MEC’s Science in School Program, CNPEM 360 was developed to present the CNPEM’s activities, encourage creativity, and honor Brazilian science.
Cápsula da Ciência
Take a 360-degree trip through the microscopic world in the Cápsula da Ciência (Science Capsule), the CNPEM’s digital immersion experience. In a 95 m2 dome, visitors take a deep dive into molecules and atoms in investigations involving major scientific questions, in search of solutions to problems that challenge our society. The Science Capsule is funded by the MCTI, and was on the road between October 10 and December 17, 2022, traveling through Brazil’s five regions from north to south, with stops in seven cities: Gaspar (SC), Campinas (SP), Guarapari (ES), Lagarto (SE), Quixeramobim (CE), Brasília (DF), and Manaus (AM).
Visit programs
The objectives of the CNPEM’s Visit Program are to inspire young people to pursue careers in science and technology, perform institutional outreach for the CNPEM as a reference institution for the practice of science, create closer ties between the Center and potential users of its scientific facilities (from research and teaching institutions as well as the corporate world), and stir feelings of belonging, pride, and recognition for Brazilian science.
Ciência Aberta
Since 2016, the CNPEM has held the ‘Ciência Aberta’ (Open Science) event each year, opening the campus and its scientific facilities to the public on a Saturday and holding dozens of free activities like visits, workshops, exhibitions, and lectures.
Every year the number of participants grows: 16,000 people participated in the most recent edition in 2023. Check out the video from the last Ciência Aberta event.
