Science 2009

Oeiras, 22.07.09

The Council of Associate Laboratories, with the support of the FCT, is organizing the National Meeting of Science - Science 2009 to be held on July 29 and 30 at the premises of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation on Avenida de Berna in Lisbon.

The meeting is open to the entire scientific community and will be organized around specific themes.  The detailed program of the Meeting will be available by the end of the week.

In 2001, ITQB was awarded the status of Laboratório Associado by the Ministry of Science & Technology.  Under this status a programme was established in a partnership between ITQB, the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC) and the Instituto de Biologia Experimental e Tecnológica (IBET), bringing together a number of different expertises that effectively combine scientific discoveries with potential applications. The Associated Laboratory of Oeiras constitutes an excellent Science cluster for areas such as life sciences, health and biotechnology.
