FCT shares its experience and practices with Mozambique

FCT was present at the MoRENet Conference, the Cybersecurity Summit and the 2nd Open Science Seminar, three events that took place recently in Maputo (Mozambique), from November 11 to 15. The aim of this participation was to share FCT's experience and practices in the areas of Open Science, Science Management, Security and MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses). The fact that these events took place in the same week allowed for intense participation, aimed at various target audiences.

The Director of the Advanced Services Area of FCT's Advanced Computing Unit, João Gomes, gave presentations on the themes of the "Nau Platform - Always Learning" and "Sharing the CERT experience of the Portuguese Academic and Scientific Network". The Director of the Scientific Knowledge Area, João Mendes Moreira, presented the Open Science and science management initiatives in Portugal, and also gave a workshop on science management, which covered the PTCRIS program, Ciência ID and CIÊNCIAVITAE.

Mozambique is already the third country with the most Nau registrations, after Portugal and Brazil.

This collaboration anticipates the spirit of the theme of the next Portuguese EU Presidency, which will be Europe-Africa.
