Throughout 2026, the C\u00f4a Museum \u2013 Ci\u00eancia Viva Centre has been developing<\/strong> a range of initiatives dedicated to science communication and the discovery of the local area. From the Gera\u00e7\u00e3o Ci\u00eancia Festival to Ci\u00eancia Viva no Ver\u00e3o activities and European Researchers\u2019 Night, the programme has offered different ways to explore the connections between science, heritage and landscape.<\/p>\n

On 14 and 15 May, the Gera\u00e7\u00e3o Ci\u00eancia Festival<\/strong> brought together around two thousand visitors in Vila Nova de Foz C\u00f4a. Organised by the C\u00f4a Museum \u2013 Ci\u00eancia Viva Centre, the Tenente-Coronel Ad\u00e3o Carrapatoso School Cluster, the Municipality of Vila Nova de Foz C\u00f4a and Ci\u00eancia Viva \u2013 the National Agency for Scientific and Technological Culture, the event was one of the highlights of the programme.<\/p>\n

\"\"During the summer, the Museum took part in the Ci\u00eancia Viva no Ver\u00e3o<\/strong> programme, offering activities that brought together astronomy, archaeology, geology, biodiversity and heritage conservation. These included stargazing sessions, activities exploring the rock art and birdlife of Fariseu, and opportunities to discover the region\u2019s history and archaeological heritage.<\/p>\n

Among these initiatives was a special guided tour of the Fariseu archaeological site, held as part of the Museum\u2019s 16th-anniversary celebrations, which invited visitors to learn about the findings of the latest excavation campaigns. A journey aboard a solar-powered electric boat combined the discovery of the landscape with an introduction to the archaeological research carried out in the C\u00f4a Valley.<\/p>\n

\"\"On 25 September, European Researchers\u2019 Night<\/strong> once again brought researchers, the school community and the wider public together. The programme featured interactive activities, exhibitions and science communication initiatives covering subjects such as water, geology, health, technology and heritage. Contributions from the Fluvi\u00e1rio<\/span><\/a> and Homo curiositatis<\/span><\/a> helped engage audiences with science through different forms of expression and hands-on experiences.<\/p>\n

Through a variety of formats and themes, these initiatives have put the C\u00f4a Museum\u2019s mission as a Ci\u00eancia Viva Centre into practice: bringing research closer to the public and encouraging people to discover the local area as a place for learning, curiosity and shared knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
