Ramiro Magno attended the meeting to gain insights into the scientific panorama in Portugal, and to listen to speeches by Elvira Fortunato, the Minister of Science, Technology, and Higher Education; and Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa. Both speakers expressed profound appreciation for the scientific community and pledged to foster scientific research in Portugal. They emphasized its pivotal role in pushing the boundaries of knowledge, contributing to transformative discoveries that shape our society, and providing valuable insights for political decision-making and strengthening democratic institutions.
