The European Researchers' Night is back on the 28 of September. Throughout the country there will be workshops, talks, demonstrations, shows and many experiences to discover science and think about the future. NOVA participates in this initiative once again in Lisbon, between 6 pm and midnight, with activities promoted by some of its schools that take place in several locations on the Rato / Príncipe Real axis.
For the 2018-2019 biennium, the European Researchers' Night's theme is "Science in the City", with the aim of bringing researchers and society together and responding to the main concerns of urban communities, highlighting the relevance of science to ensuring quality of life in cities and the preservation of cultural heritage as an essential factor for sustainability.
NOVA School of Science and Technology is once again part of the consortium coordinated by the National Museum of Natural History and Science of the University of Lisbon, which also includes four other Portuguese higher education institutions and the Lisbon City Council. In addition to the participation of FCT NOVA, the program also has several activities promoted by NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities (NOVA FCSH), NOVA Medical School | Faculdade de Ciências Médicas and NOVA Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Check out the complete schedule on the project's website.
The European Researchers' Night, established in 2005 and funded by the European Commission, is an initiative which takes place in several European cities simultaneously and completes a series of scientific activities carried out throughout the year.
In Portugal there are other consortiums that also participate in the initiative.
