ICFO Open Day is a very special occasion when we open the doors of our research center to bring science closer to everyone. It’s a day dedicated to society, when schools, families, and the general public can discover what we do at ICFO from the inside.

You will have the chance to visit our labs and facilities, explore activities designed to spark curiosity, and meet the scientists and professionals working on cutting-edge photonics research.

The event is completely free and takes place on Friday October 10th, 2025 at ICFO’s facilities in Castelldefels. There will be three visiting slots throughout the day:

1. 09:30 – 12:15: ICFO Open Day for Schools
2. 14:30 – 17:15: ICFO Open Day for Schools & Families
3. 18:00 – 21:00: ICFO by Night (general public)

It’s a great opportunity to learn more about how light is shaping the future in fields such as health, energy, communications, and the environment. Come and discover the science that builds the future!
