Aim: To report the actions of the PopNeuro program at Science and Career Fairs and the impact of disseminating topics related to Neuroscience within the community. Method: Between 2022 and 2023 we participated in 14 scientific dissemination events, reaching more than 10 thousand people through interactive activities discussing topics such as neuromyths, Nervous System diseases, etc. After each event, the coordinators of the fairs at which PopNeuro was present answered a questionnaire. Results: We observed an intense participation of visitors to the proposed events, demonstrating interest in the topic. It was possible to identify the high degree of satisfaction of event organizers with the work carried out by the team. Conclusion: The inclusion of neuroscience in science and career fairs was well accepted by the fair organizers and generated broad interest from participants, achieving the objective of promoting the dissemination and popularization of neuroscience.
