Registration 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, is now open for registration. You can register here.

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

As was the case last year, more than 400 communications 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 may also nominate doctoral students to present scientific posters. As announced, this year's Meeting program 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 FCT in collaboration with Agência Ciência Viva and the Parliamentary Committee on Education and Science, and has the institutional support of the Government through the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Higher Education.
