b-on, the Online Knowledge Library, a digital service from the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), developed through FCCN, celebrates 20 years with a meeting for its community on November 20th, at the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu. Registration is now open.
“20 years of b-on” is the name of the event that aims to celebrate two decades of existence, innovation and collaboration, bringing together its partners and friends.
During the meeting, the role that b-on has played with its member institutions will be discussed, as well as their contribution to its continued success.
We will have presentations, debates and moments of sharing, which will allow us to reflect on the past, present and future of this long and effective cooperation with the consortium's member institutions.
The celebration will conclude with a dinner for interested participants, which will take place in the city of Viseu, in order to once again strengthen the relationship between the community.

The event program will be shared soon, on event website and disseminated through the usual channels of communication.
