The 2nd Meeting with the Scientific Community in Portugal: Ciência 2008, organized by the Council of Associated Laboratories in collaboration with the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education, took place on 2, 3 and 4 July 2008 at the premises of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon.
The General Programme (text in Portuguese) and the Detailed Programme of the Meeting (text in Portuguese) are available at these sites, from where you can access the presentations via the links in their titles. The four concurrent sessions could be followed live over the Internet and seen later at the session archive (text in Portuguese).
This meeting discussed some of the more important areas of scientific activity in Portugal, and scientific and technological advances in stem cell research, emerging diseases, aging, food safety, nanosystems, sensor networks, interactive digital content, oceans and marine resources, transportation of the future and energy sustainability, with the participation of scientific institutions and companies.
The Meeting aimed to contribute to public dissemination of Science in Portugal, and to stimulate scientific cooperation and foster dialogue between scientists and society.
This three-day meeting provided a meeting point and exchange of knowledge among the Portuguese scientific community and a good opportunity to get to know the work of Portuguese scientists in their most significant areas of activity.
Many important presentations were given under the auspices of the Ministry for Science, Technology and Higher Education and the support given to this Meeting by Science and Technology Foundation (FCT) and The Knowledge Society Agency (UMIC).
