The conference "Science in the Azores - which future?" will be held in Ponta Delgada on Friday and Saturday. Organised by the Regional Secretariat for Education, Science and Culture, this initiative will feature over fifty papers.
According to the Scientific Committee of the conference, the papers will address issues related to various branches of Social Sciences, Humanities, Nature and Environment, Engineering and Health.
This event is "an opportunity to bring together researchers, grant holders and regional entrepreneurs as well as other public and private entities, whose action has impact on the population."
The conference was also organised with the purpose of disseminating "the regional scientific potential and promoting the establishment of contacts, debates and the creation of synergies among participants."
It is expected that the works of this conference, which will be held at the Ponta Delgada Public Library, "contribute to the drafting of a base document for policy decision-making in the regional scientific sector."
