Closing of the course “Green Chemistry - Green Chemistry in Physics and Chemistry Teaching: a path to Sustainability”
On January 24th 2025, the closing session of the non-degree course “Green Chemistry – Química Verde no Ensino de Física e Química: uma via para a Sustentabilidade” took place at the Cine-Teatro Municipal de Nisa.
This course was part of the Living the Future Academy Program, supported by the University of Coimbra (UC), the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), and Câmara Municipal de Nisa. Coordinated by Prof. Mariette Pereira, the course involved the participation of teachers and researchers from the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, and Life Sciences of FCTUC, as well as students from Agrupamento de Escolas de Nisa, Escola Secundária Mouzinho da Silveira (Agrupamento de Escolas do Bonfim), and Escola Secundária de São Lourenço, both located in Portalegre.
The non-degree course included theoretical and practical sessions held at the three schools, along with oral presentations of research projects by the participating students.
