Escolab is a program launched in 2007 as an initiative of the Barcelona City Council, in collaboration with several research centers. Its objective is to offer free scientific activities for high school students, allowing them to explore the various research fields and laboratories in Catalonia (Spain).

From October to June, during the school year, Escolab organizes more than 100 activities that give students the opportunity to interact directly with the scientific community. These activities include:

1. Workshops: Hands-on, interactive sessions where students can participate in experiments and learn about various scientific disciplines.
2. Lectures: Presentations by researchers and professionals explaining their work and areas of research.
3. Visits: Guided tours of research laboratories, university research groups, hospitals and companies, allowing students to learn about the real applications of scientific research.

This initiative seeks to arouse curiosity in students and offer them a first-hand view of the wide variety of study opportunities available in the Catalan region.
