On 14 July, the 2nd LIACOM Researchers’ Meeting and the 2nd ESCS UNESCO Chair Retreat will take place.

Held annually, these events aim to foster closer connections among the team while providing opportunities for reflection and collaborative thinking.

Under the theme “A Collective Journey in Three Acts – Identity, Connection and Action,” this year’s edition invites participants to embark on a journey of discovery and co-creation throughout a day dedicated to sharing experiences, exchanging ideas, and developing projects that explore common interests and shared research goals.

The event will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Universidade Atlântica – Fábrica da Pólvora, Oeiras, and includes lunch offered by LIACOM.
