(Only Available in Portuguese)

The current Ministry of Science, Technology, and Higher Education (MCTES) is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and the occasion has been marked by various initiatives aimed at the general public, such as debates, concerts, exhibitions, and the publication of several books. Theprogramalso includes the recent launch of the "Science & Knowledge Collection," in partnership with the Público newspaper and the publisher A Bela e o Monstro.

The "Science & Knowledge Collection" republishes the first editions of eight works relevant to the promotion of scientific culture, curated by bookseller and anthropologist Luís Gomes, with a preface by professor and researcher Fernando Carvalho Rodrigues. It provides readers with a deeper understanding of the works of Charles Darwin, Pedro Nunes, Erwin Schrödinger, Antero de Quental, Garcia de Orta, Almeida Garrett, Jules Verne, and Mário António da Cunha Moura. The works are being published in a detachable format in the Thursday editions of the Público newspaper between September 17 and November 5.

It should be noted that the MCTES was created in 1995, at the time entitled the Ministry of Science and Technology and led by José Mariano Gago, with the main objective of promoting the development of scientific work and research in the country. Since its creation in 1997, the FCT has been under the supervision of this ministry.
