The Fábrica Centro Ciência Viva de Aveiro is located within the urban fabric of the city of Aveiro, in the Pêga area. Its address, on Rua dos Santos Mártires, positions it in an area that reflects the city's dynamism, easily identifiable within the environment of Aveiro, a municipality of the same name.
The building housing the Fábrica Centro Ciência Viva de Aveiro has a striking identity, being the former premises of the Companhia Aveirense de Moagens. This reconversion of an industrial space into a science dissemination center represents a link between the city's manufacturing past and the future of knowledge, giving the place a unique historical and architectural character.
Inside the Fábrica, visitors find a space dedicated to the active exploration of science and technology. The exhibitions are designed to encourage participation, with activities that reveal scientific principles in a playful way. It is possible to unravel science in the kitchen, interact in areas dedicated to robotics, or explore a holography laboratory, among other themes that promote discovery.
The Fábrica Centro Ciência Viva de Aveiro stands out in the national scene for its strong connection and partnership with the University of Aveiro. This collaboration allows for the creation of innovative content and experiences, such as the specialized spaces in robotics and the holography laboratory, offering unique approaches to understanding the scientific and technological world.
