In the morning, senior high school students will have the opportunity to visit a fair ( Àgora Room) where practical examples of scientific research and employment opportunities will be shown, with an emphasis on substitution, recycling and circular economics with various demonstrators of scientific programs. Visits will be made to several laboratories.
In the afternoon, university students will be invited to attend a set of interventions on raw materials, mineral resources, circular economy, recycling and environment by invited experts from LNEG, Somincor and FCT NOVA.
