Hydrographic Institute participates in European Investigators Night

It was held on 27 September another edition of the European Night of Researchers. The European Investigator Night — European Researchers’ Night — is an initiative launched in 2005, currently biannual, funded by the European Commission under the Marie Curie Actions, with the aim of celebrating science and bringing researchers and citizens closer together.

This initiative that seeks to break the barriers that separate science from citizens and demystify the distant image that the citizen has of the scientist, is an opportunity to disseminate the work of great quality and innovation developed by Portuguese researchers, as well as to highlight the importance of efficient communication between research centers and civil society.

The Hydrographic Institute was installed in the cloister of the National Museum of Natural History, as a State Laboratory in the company of the LNEC - National Laboratory of Civil Engineering.
