Between July 8th and 10th, at the Lisbon Congress Center, the research community will once again meet for its annual meeting.
Promoting a broad debate on the main themes and challenges of the scientific agenda (going beyond the world of research) is one of the main objectives of the Science Meeting 2019. For this reason, this meeting organized by the Foundation for Science and Technology seeks “foster interaction between researchers, the business sector and the general public”.
For the 2019 edition, the organization reveals, the guest country will be the United Kingdom. As such, representatives from Oxford University (Pedro Gil Ferreira) and University College London (Giovanna Tinetti) were invited to speak.
The program features the recovery of some of the main scientific achievements in History – the 150th anniversary of the Periodic Table and the 50th anniversary of the first human moon landing will be highlighted, for example. On the other hand, Digital Transformation, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Skills will also be topics that will motivate debate and reflection.
Also noteworthy is the realization of parallel sessions inspired by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations (UN) and also for a session on the National Digital Skills Initiative (InCoDe2030).
The event is promoted in collaboration with the National Agency for Scientific and Technological Culture (Ciência Via) and the Parliamentary Committee on Education and Science. It also has the institutional support of the Government through the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Higher Education.
