«The Oeiras Valley Science Festival was born with the mission of promoting science, technology and innovation, with the main proposal being to show that science can be for everyone.
Over the course of five days, there will be lectures, debates, workshops, demonstrations and performances in simple and understandable language, accessible to the general public who are interested in the topics in question. There will also be space for diy (do it yourself), workshops, experiments and virtual reality, where visitors can learn about the topics mentioned above while having immersive contact with them.
The Oeiras Valley Science Festival aims to establish itself as an annual event, with the possibility of establishing itself elsewhere in the future, and to become an international benchmark for festivals of this type. Each edition will have a different central theme, with this first edition focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its ethical, social and economic implications. There will, however, be room to explore and debate other scientific and technological advances that prove relevant.»
