On November 27 and 28, the 150st Scientific and Technical Illustration Conference will be held on the Móstoles Campus. This event has more than XNUMX people registered, divided between in-person and remote attendees, given the interest in participation from people from both Spain and Latin America.
The conference acts as a forum in which illustrators have exhibited their most recent works, framed in different artistic disciplines ranging from digital illustration, 3D modeling, field notebooks or computer graphics.
For their part, scientists from the URJC and other national and international universities have talked about “the knowledge they have generated and how they use the tools offered by scientific illustration to disseminate it,” the organization noted. In addition, science and engineering students have the opportunity to establish contacts and learn about new job opportunities that are not explored during academic itineraries.
The conference has had an excellent reception from the institutions that have been invited to participate (Illustraciencia, National Museum of Natural Sciences, Royal Botanical Garden, OneTandem, Mayku and RenderArea).
On Tuesday, November 28, in the afternoon, a parallel session took place at the National Museum of Natural Sciences with a practical computer graphics workshop, led by one of the speakers from the Illustraciencia academy, a collaborator of the event.
