Between November 25th and 26th 2021, INESC-ID will develop activities for primary and secondary schools within the scope of the Semana da Ciência & Tecnologia 2021 promoted by Ciência Viva. These activities aim to disseminate the area of Computational Biology, bring scientists closer to the participants, showing their day-to-day life and what is the impact of this area on medicine.

Supported by the international project OLISSIPO, two of the activities of the Semana da Ciência & Tecnologia 2021 at INESC-ID will take place in person and one of them will take place virtually through the ZOOM platform.
