Brazilian Heritage of Science and Technology in new Portal

Brazil's natural, scientific and technological heritage will soon be brought together in the Heritage Knowledge Portal. The creation of the portal is an initiative of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education, in partnership with the Ministry of Culture, which aims to identify the heritage associated with science, technology and higher education institutions.

The first phase of construction of the Portal will run until January 30th, and consists of collecting information. Institutions can make their heritage known by filling out the form available on the platform http://patrimonio-conhecimento.pt . This heritage will then be made available and publicized so that it can be used by experts, tourists, families and the general public.

Portugal has a cultural heritage and a heritage in the fields of science and technology that are still little known but which are largely accessible to the public, available in collections, libraries, archives, museums, botanical gardens, parks and protected areas, buildings and science centers. This initiative aims to identify, value and promote this legacy, which is largely unique in Europe and the world.

Institutions that need clarification or support in filling out the form can write to the address patrimonio-conhecimento@mctes.gov.br/a>.
