The Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon is one of the five founding members of the Lousal Science Centre Association. The Faculty also ensures the involvement of at least 30 of its lecturers and researchers from all departments, through the accreditation and renewal of the scientific content of this science centre. In addition, it appoints the Presidency of the CCV Lousal Association and the executive management of the science centre.
Lousal Live Ciência Centre
The main objective of the Ciência Viva Centres is to promote scientific and technological culture among the Portuguese population. They are dynamic spaces for knowledge and leisure, where scientific curiosity and the desire to learn are stimulated.
The Lousal Science Centre invites visitors to travel back in time to when the Lousal mine was active, where minerals formed millions of years ago were mined by thousands of miners who cultivated their dreams, lived their loves, saw their children grow up, and cared for their elders. Today, it is once again the future, a land reinvented by the will of many and sustained by the richest of minerals: knowledge. Lousal, always Lousal.
