As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the 25th of April Revolution, this year's congress will host a discussion on the impact of the 25th of April on Portuguese science and scientific societies. The conversation will focus on how this historical event influenced the development of research, education, and scientific communities in Portugal, exploring the advancements in knowledge, freedom of thought, and the establishment of scientific institutions that followed.
