Encontro Ciência 2025 will start on July 9, 2025, at the at the NOVA SBE Campus in Carcavelos.

The parallel session entitled “In the era of sustainability and misinformation, Chemistry is the solution.” co-organized by IMS and LAQV-REQUIMTE, will be held on the first day of the event!

This roundtable brings together researchers working in the fields of chemical engineering and sustainable processes, medicinal chemistry, science education, and science communication. It will address the transversal and integrative role of Chemistry across key domains such as health, energy, technology, and the environment. With its unique ability to transform knowledge into innovation with positive societal impact, Chemistry also plays a crucial role in demystifying scientific concepts, reinforcing its relevance in building a more informed, resilient, and technologically advanced society.
