Abstract It is known that society often takes a negative view of chemistry and perceives the scientific research conducted in universities as something distant. This paper presents different projects carried out by the Càtedra de Cultura Científica i Comunicació Digital of Universitat de Girona (C4D, UdG) to draw scientific research — and chemistry in particular — closer to society and, particularly, to pre-university students. Recreational chemistry as well as ICT and 2.0 tools form the backbone of these innovative projects. This paper is based on the presentation made by the principal author at the VII Trobada de Joves Investigadors dels Països Catalans, held by Catalan Society of Chemistry (SCQ) in February 2012.Keywords: Teaching, popularization, communication, 2.0 tools, recreational, chemistry, science, secondary education, society.
