On Wednesday, January 22, at 3 pm, the conference “Science in Portugal, before and after April 25” will be given by Professor António Bracinha Vieira, psychiatrist and writer. 

In this conference and gathering, Professor António Bracinha Vieira will talk about his own journey through science and academia, the concepts of science and truth, their contingencies and the unity of science in the face of the unity of nature. He will address the transformations and new horizons of knowledge made possible by democracy in Portugal, their impact on higher education, the internationalization of research and the scientific community, and freedom of research.

It will also mention the benefits and risks that science has brought to democracy itself. Finally, he will focus on the current moment, reflecting on the fantastic advances in science, and also on what he considers to be a certain “rebellion of technology against science”.
