"Teknópolis" (1999-2001): Kazaetaritza zientifikoko esperientzia bat "ETB"n

Abstract

Teknopolis, a scientific dissemination program broadcast by ETB between 1999 and 2001, was a project that Elhuyar managed to materialise after many attempts. This article contains the chronicle of those three years, as well as the background of the program (achievements and limitations). Also, the authors offer a description and several reflections from a practical, non-academic approach: the objective is to show the peculiarities and problems that come about when producing a scientific dissemination programme in television, in the Basque Country and, furthermore, in Basque and Castilian Spanish. Teknopolis was intended to disseminate general scientific contents and the scientific-technological accomplishments of the Basque Country.
