The 1st Portuguese Science Summit Innovation 2026 is dedicated to a broad consultation with the science and innovation ecosystem, promoting interaction among the scientific community, private companies, sectoral organizations, and the government.
We anticipate a fruitful discussion based on collaborative proposals for the future of knowledge-based research and innovation, including its links to society, the economy, the local area, and regional development, as well as better alignment with European strategies and the capacity for internationalization.
All stakeholders in the ecosystem were invited to submit joint proposals on topics and issues they consider strategic for the future of research and innovation in Portugal.
Based on the proposals received, thematic sessions will be organized with various participants and moderated by specialized professionals.
The reports produced as a result of these sessions will be incorporated into the contributions toward shaping the strategic direction of future research and innovation in Portugal.
