Today, 24 November, we celebrate the National Day of Scientific Culture, established in 1996 in honour of Rómulo de Carvalho to promote scientific literacy across the country.
UCIBIO is committed to fostering scientific culture and connecting research with society. Throughout 2025, our researchers have engaged in a wide range of outreach initiatives, bringing science closer to the community and inspiring curiosity among future generations.
Our 2025 outreach activities include:
-
School visits with hands-on sessions
-
Guided visits of students to our laboratories
-
Participation in the European Researchers’ Night
-
Open-day events at faculties hosting UCIBIO
-
Science-themed initiatives, such as International Microorganism Day, among others.
To mark this day, we share a short film highlighting moments from these initiatives, illustrating our dedication to promoting scientific literacy and encouraging the next generation of researchers.
