🔬 Bringing Science Closer to Society 🔬 The latest Eurobarometer study shows that while 80% of Europeans see science and technology as positive, many feel that scientists don’t engage enough with the public. At #INESCTEC, we are committed to changing that by: ✅ Promoting scientific culture and STEM education. ✅ Engaging young minds and inspiring curiosity. ✅ Encouraging more girls to pursue STEM careers. ✅ Strengthening school partnerships and attracting future talent. Initiatives like Ciência Viva and Mostra UP help bridge this gap, but there is more to be done. 💡 Read the full article by our Member of the Board, Aníbal Matos #ScienceForAll #STEMEducation #Innovation #FutureScientists

🌿 40 Years, 40 Trees: Growing Our Legacy with Porto 🌳 Milestones aren’t just about reflecting on how far we’ve come—they’re about paving the way forward. To celebrate our 40th anniversary, we partnered with Câmara Municipal do Porto to plant 40 trees, investing in a greener, more resilient future for our community. Why trees? 🌍 → They’re nature’s carbon capture heroes. → They boost biodiversity and fight climate change. → They’re a living symbol of our commitment to sustainability. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves to make this happen! Together, we’re not just planting trees—we’re planting hope. 💚 #Sustainability #CommunityImpact #AnniversaryCelebration #INESCTEC
