The Madrid Science and Innovation Week is an event of scientific dissemination and citizen participation organised by the Community of Madrid through the Fundación para el Conocimiento Madri+d whose objective is to actively involve citizens in science, technology and innovation.

The XXI Madrid Science and Innovation Week was held from 1 to 14 November 2021, with the following objectives: to attract new audiences, who were initially distanced from science; to involve new agents and institutions in the scientific process; and to make science more visible, taking it out of the places where it is done and into public spaces.
