The Live Science Center of the Algarve, in Faro, promotes, from today until the 30th, the Science & Technology 2019 Week, which presents the research carried out in the Algarve and the rest of the country. The program starts this Sunday, November 24th, National Day of Scientific Culture, with free entries.
From Ocean to Space, there are several themes presented by researchers, of all ages and from various institutions, in the form of temporary exhibitions, events, activities or lectures.
The programming designed for both the school public and the general public allows the participation of all those who are curious about the science that is developed with the partners of the Centro Ciência Viva do Algarve.
The University of Algarve and several of its research centers will be represented, as well as some schools in the Region, DECO and institutions in Porto and Lisbon.
The highlights go to the temporary exhibition “Are marine plastics a problem in the Algarve?”, open until January 5th, the “Imperial Science” gathering, to discover the research carried out in the Algarve in a relaxed way, as well as the presentation UAlgoritmo magazine and the lecture “À Descoberta do Universo”.
