This edition is guided by the motto "The Future of Sustainability," not only to highlight the importance of reflecting on the impact of our actions, but also as an indication of the Organizing Committee's commitment to rethinking the format of the event in order to guarantee its continuity.
SDS'26 will feature two days entirely dedicated to Central Events (April 28 and 29), consisting of: Lectures and Debates and Special Events: a Workshop, a Documentary, and Ciência no Copo, an initiative of Oficina das Energias.
The Sustainability Fair aims to bring dynamism to the event through activities divided into two groups:
Those that will only take place on the two days entirely dedicated to the Sustainability Fair (April 27th and 30th), such as: the Organizations' Booth or the Interactive Fair;
and the dynamic activities that will run throughout the event, namely: Exhibition of the Scientific Drawing Competition, Treasure Hunt, Wall of Sustainable Commitments.
