From the CCiTUB, we made also some online activities possible such as the "Vermut de nanociència: comunicant les nanociències des de YouTube" " with the main objective of bringing nanotechnologies to everybody in an understanding way and broadcasting it in streaming to make easier the participation and the debate. The talks started on 22nd of March and ended last Friday, 12nd of June. The 15 institutions that participated giving their support to the educational labor organized by the University of Barcelona, facilitated the edition of a total of 33 videos.
