Ciência 2017, the annual meeting of the scientific community in Portugal, will take place from 3 to 5 July, at the Lisbon Congress Centre.

The Ciência 2017 meeting has the support of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education and is promoted by the Foundation for Science and Technology in collaboration with the National Agency for Scientific and Technological Culture Ciência Viva and the Parliamentary Commission for Education and Science.
