From November 22 to 28, the Allendez Center for Agriculture and Agro-Food Biotechnology (CEBAL) will once again be associated with National Memories of Science and Technology Week (S&T) Week, which aims to bring science and community closer together. Scientific and technological culture in Portugal.
Thistle, pork, and olive grove will be some of the themes featured in CEBAL-sponsored endeavors throughout the week.
“Themes that need to be explored, both face-to-face and in digital form, involving a diverse audience, represent contemporary issues and impose various economic, environmental and social challenges on the region that remain undiminished. Innovative and varied solutions that result in CEBAL’s mission”
