The Forum for Research Projects and Final Credits is organized by the Department of Education, and sponsored by the Tarragona Chemical Business Association (AEQT) to contribute to the training of young people. ETSEQ takes part in workshops designed for secondary school students during the forum.

• URV summer courses

Every day from 9 am to 1 pm, during the second or third week of July, ETSEQ organizes a series of activities related to mechanical engineering for students from the fourth year of secondary education and the first year of upper secondary education with the purpose of promoting scientific vocations. Every day the activity consists of a theoretical part (taught by a university lecturer) and a practical part that students carry out in an ETSEQ laboratory. You can find more information about the courses taught by ETSEQ at the following link.

• Baccalaureate Research Work

The ETSEQ offers advice and its facilities for carrying out the Baccalaureate Research Work, provided that the following conditions are met:

• In order for the advice of a Research Project to be accepted, it must have a plan, objectives and justification at the time of its request, which will be sent to: cristina.urbina@urv.cat, who, in his case, will designate the most suitable teacher to carry out the advice.
• The ETSEQ teacher does NOT act as a tutor, only as a counselor.
• The expenses generated from the research work (laboratory material, etc.) will NOT be assumed in any case by the ETSEQ or departments.
• The assistance of the IES teacher accompanying the student at all times during his visit to the ETSEQ is always mandatory.
• It is mandatory to sign a prior agreement between the IES and the ETSEQ in order to access the facilities and advice from students and teachers.
