Applications open for Science 2018

Ciência 2018 - Meeting with Science and Technology in Portugal, which will take place from July 2 to 4 at the Lisbon Congress Center, has already opened registration for participants. You can register here.

This year, South Africa is the guest country at the meeting. This is an opportunity for Science 2018 participants to learn more about the scientific and technological development of this country, as well as the collaborations between Portugal and South Africa in various scientific areas.

Like last year, more than 400 papers were submitted by FCT R&D Units to the event program, as well as dozens of proposals for demonstrations of their activities to be promoted during the meeting. FCT Units will also be able to nominate PhD students to present scientific posters. As announced, the programme for this year's meeting will be organized around "missions" associated with major scientific and societal challenges, based on the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

Ciência 2018 is organized by the FCT in collaboration with the Ciência Viva Agency and the Parliamentary Commission for Education and Science, and has the institutional support of the Government through the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education.
