Manifesto para a ciencia Portuguesa

We have recently received knowledge of a document that is being circulated among Portuguese researchers, asking for a political consensus (beyond typical party politics) around the national strategy for scientific development. These are ideas that ANICT has also been defending, through institutional contacts with the several political actors.

It is a spontaneous initiative from a group of colleagues, and they are gathering signatures of support. ANICT has decided to support this initiative. Please check out the document manifesto_ciencia_.pdf. If you wish to support it, please visit http://sites.google.com/site/cienciaportugal/, and sign up.

We hope this, and other similar initiatives, will contribute to further develop the Portuguese Scientific System on the basis of excellence.
