Lunch with Science

The Lunch with Science (LwS) is a monthly initiative that promotes the meeting between integrated researchers and PhD students, stimulating the exchange of experiences and the presentation of individual projects and research teams, promoting, on the one hand, the integration of PhD students in the Centre's activities and, on the other hand, the reinforcement of synergies between the different disciplinary areas working at CICANT.
