Abstract(s)
Ciencia@Bragança was a pioneer project developed at Bragança - Portugal, in an interesting and
regular cooperation between a research institution (IPB), a science museum (CCVB) and several
media (press, radio and television) during a period of two years.
The project aimed to bring science closer to the population, allowing it to discover new concepts and
bringing awareness to different subjects related to several scientific domains, including chemistry.
The diffusion of scientific information was accomplished through the local press, regional radio
stations and television programs and also through posters with scientific curiosities in the city urban
furniture. All scientific materials produced are available at the project website
www.cienciabraganca.pt.
Chemistry was a particularly interesting area explored during this project for its widespread use in
daily routine. In the scope of the project, several scientific materials have been published, which
covered topics on chemistry and its applications, namely food chemistry, essential oils from native
plants, chemistry and bioactivity of edible mushrooms, soap manufacture, among many others.
it is possible to conclude that this project promoted and disseminated scientific and technological
knowledge, particularly in the chemistry and related fields.
