Presentation

Iscte promotes activities aimed at fostering social recognition of science and extending scientific culture to the public in general. The scientific work of excellence that is done at the Institute is presented annually through numerous activities organized by Iscte, its research units, professors and researchers.

COM Investigar

COM Investigar is a working group represented with the communication science managers of each Research Unit of Iscte, which was promoted by the Research Support Office and Projects.

This working group was created to generate synergies and optimize the work of science communication carried out at Iscte. COM Investigar seeks to promote activities of dissemination and promotion of scientific culture, as well as to produce informational content on the research developed in the Institute.

European Researchers Night

Iscte is one of the partners of the European consortium 'European Researchers’ Night', under the Marie Curie Actions, aimed at celebrating science and bringing researchers and citizens closer together. This consortium is coordinated by the University of Lisbon, and for the biennial in 2018-2019 is dedicated to the theme "SCICITY - Science in the City", involving the Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência, Universidade de Lisboa (MUHNAC-ULisboa), Iscte – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências da University Nova de Lisboa (FCT-UNL), Escola de Ciências - University of Minho, University of Évora, Escola Superior de Turismo e Hotelaria do Estoril and Lisbon City Council.

This initiative, which seeks to break the barriers that separate science from citizens and demystify the distant image that ordinary citizens have of scientists, is an opportunity to disseminate the work of high quality and innovation developed by Portuguese researchers, as well as to highlight the importance of efficient communication between research centres and civil society.

Iscte has participated regularly in this initiative, with diversified activities which involve the teams of all its research units. See the video.

Ciência Viva Agency

The Ciência Viva Agency fosters several initiatives that promote scientific culture for different audiences. Iscte, through its research units, and in partnership with the Agency, carries out a variety of these directed at younger audiences.

In November, during Science and Technology Week, scientific institutions, universities, schools and museums open their doors, providing the general public with opportunities for scientific observation and personal contact with experts from different fields of knowledge. Learn more

The Ciência Viva programme in the Laboratory - Scientific Occupation of Young People on Vacation (OCJF) - provides secondary school students with an opportunity to get closer to the reality of scientific and technological research, and usually takes place between June and August. Learn more
