The total solar eclipse of 12 August 2026 will be a once in a lifetime event, and the URV has turned it into a scientific outreach opportunity by organising events that explore the phenomenon in a way that cuts across disciplines and highlights different ways of understanding the world
It hasn’t happened in over a century. The last total eclipse visible from Catalonia was in 1905, and it will happen again on 12 August 2026. From 19.35,
The URV, through its the interdisciplinary ARGET research group, seeks to harness technological advances and digital tools to enhance teaching
Since its creation, the ARGET research group at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili has specialised in education and technology and in keeping up to date with the technological innovations that can improve and support teaching and learning processes. The researchers’ aim is to find ways of applying these innovations, but only once they have been scientifically proven to be appropriate and
It’s one of the research and dissemination actions of the Cyber Hermes project led by the URV to promote cybersecurity
