Science Week in Catalonia is a collective programme of activities with over 350 events to disseminate scientific knowledge all over Catalonia. Organised by the Catalan Foundation for Research and Innovation (FCRi), it involves around 150 organisations from universities, research centers, museums, associations, and companies. Its aims are to offer society, especially young people, original and accessible ways of conveying scientific knowledge that will encourage future scientific vocations. At the same time, the programme works to speed up the Catalonian research system's efforts to disseminate scientific knowledge. One of the highlights of Science Week in Catalonia is the Science Day in Schools.

The first edition of Science Week in Catalonia took place in 1996 in Spain. Since then, there have been nineteen gatherings, funded by different Catalonian institutions, companies and associations.
