Ciência nos hospitais

"Science in hospitals”, the NOVA School of Science and Technology's (FCT NOVA) new application to the Academies of Knowledge program of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, wants to provide the opportunity to experience science in hospitalization wards.

Despite the numerous offers of programs and initiatives that allow children and young people to experience what is like to be in a laboratory, the FCT NOVA team wants to reach those who are confined to the hospital.

"Science in hospitals" will, therefore, allow young people admitted to a Pediatric ward, recovering from surgical intervention or undergoing treatment to watch live experiences in the areas of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and even Molecular Gastronomy and Nanotechnology.
