Science Meeting 2020 with new dates

The Meeting with Science and Technology in Portugal – Science 2020 has new dates, taking place on November 2, 3 and 4, 2020, at the Lisbon Congress Center. Registration for participation has been open since last March.
The event was postponed until November due to the current Covid-19 pandemic situation and the consequent exceptional measures decreed by the Portuguese Government to contain this outbreak. The postponement of the meeting is due to the decision to avoid carrying out activities and initiatives that involve the in-person participation of a large number of people.
In November, the Science Meeting hopes to bring together, as has become customary, the Brazilian scientific community and encourage interaction between researchers, also integrating the business sector and the general public. It also aims to publicize developments in different areas of research in the country.
In past editions, an average of 4,000 people participated, more than 500 communications and more than 700 posters were presented, and around 100 research institutions demonstrated R&D activities.
This year the Meeting is curated by Helena Canhão, coordinator of the Center for Integrated Health Research, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, and Pedro Oliveira, Professor and holder of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Chair at Copenhagen Business School and Nova School of Business and Economics, co-founders of Patient Innovation.
The Science Meeting 2020 is organized by FCT, which has the collaboration of the National Agency for Scientific and Technological Culture Ciência Viva and the institutional support of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education and the Parliamentary Committee for Education, Science, Youth and Sports.
