Science'18 - Meeting with Science and Technology in Portugal

Following the last Science annual meetings, it is with renewed enthusiasm that we challenge all researchers and their R&D Units to participate in Science 2018, attracting also all citizens to open debates about new scientific opportunities and challenges. This year's annual meeting, Ciência 2018, will take place on July 2-4 at the Lisbon Congress Center.

This year, the program will be organized around "missions" associated with major scientific and societal challenges, based on the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. We intend to highlight the need to deepen research and innovation, while strengthening the mechanisms of communication and dialogue, recognized by all as increasingly important so that the contributions of knowledge and technology are understood and strongly supported by society. We would like, therefore, to mobilize all researchers and their R&D Units for the debate emerging in Europe on the design of the future 9th European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, 2021-2028. 

During the month of April, the coordinators of the R&D units were invited to submit their proposals for oral communications and demonstrations of R&D activities. Soon we will also request proposals for digital posters to be presented by PhD students during the meeting.

The Science Meeting 2018 is promoted by the Foundation for Science and Technology in collaboration with the National Agency for Scientific and Technological Culture Ciência Viva (Live Science ) and the Parliamentary Committee for Education and Science, and has the institutional support of the Government through the Minister of Science, Technology and Higher Education.

We are sure that, with everyone's collaboration, we will create another unique moment of annual reflection on the state of Science and Technology in Portugal and in Europe.
