Encontros Scientia

Every Thursday, 12h00-13h00 (Lisbon, Portugal time) will meet all those interested in ecology, evolution and environmental changes to talk about their latest research. Due to security measures imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, since May 2020 the Scientia Meetings take place online, on the cE3c YouTube channel.
