Science 2020 Meeting with new dates

The edition of the Meeting with Science and Technology in Portugal - Science 2020 has new dates, taking place on November 2nd, 3rd and 4th, 2020, at the Lisbon Congress Center. Registration for participation is open since last March.

The event was postponed to the month of 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 stems from the resolution to avoid holding 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 usual, the Portuguese scientific community and encourage interaction between researchers, also including the business sector and the general public. It also intends to make known the developments in the different research areas in the country.

In past editions an average of 4000 people participated, more than 500 papers and more than 700 posters were presented, and about 100 research institutions demonstrate their R&D activities.

This year's meeting is curated by Helena Canhão, coordinator of the Center for Integrated Health Research, at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, New University of Lisbon, and Pedro Oliveira, Professor and holder of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Chair at the Copenhagen Business School and the Nova School of Business and Economics, co-founders of Patient Innovation.

The Science 2020 Meeting is organized by FCT, with the collaboration of the National Agency for Scientific and Technological Culture Ciência Viva (Live Science) and the institutional support of the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Higher Education and the Parliamentary Committee for Education, Science, Youth, and Sports.
