Peter Hanenberg is guest speaker at the Eutopos Conference "Cognition, Culture and Creativity: the Search for Beauty"

Peter Hanenberg, Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation at Universidade Católica and Dean of Católica Doctoral School, is the guest speaker at the Eutopos Conference "Cognition, Culture and Creativity: the Search for Beauty", organised by Brotéria in partnership with CADOS, UCP.

Taking place on 19 October, from 7pm to 8.30pm, the conference will be held at Brotéria in Lisbon and proposes two paths in the search for beauty: one that looks at the cultural nature of its meaning and another that traces the intersection between perception and conception.

This session is part of a cycle of three conferences centred on the topics of the "search for good agriculture", the "search for beauty" and the "study of what helps us progress in our moral life as a result of community involvement."
