Portuguese Science and Technology Heritage will have a new Portal

(available only in Portuguese)

Portugal's natural, scientific, and technological heritage will soon be brought together on 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 the Portal's construction will run until January 30 and consists of gathering information. Institutions can publicize their heritage by filling out the form availableon the platform http://patrimonio-conhecimento.pt . This heritage will then be made available and disseminated so that it can be used by experts, tourists, families, and the general public.

Portugal has a cultural heritage and a legacy in the fields of science and technology that is still little known but 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, enhance, and disseminate this legacy, which is largely unique in Europe and the world.

Institutions requiring clarification or assistance in completing the form may write to the following address patrimonio-conhecimento@mctes.gov.pt.
