LNEC Lisbon Conference

The Conference will consist of three half-day technical‑scientific sessions and a technical visit.
Each session will include two state-of-the-art lectures, delivered by national and international keynote speakers.
These lectures will set the stage for a roundtable discussion involving key stakeholders, focusing on new research horizons and challenges of common interest, with potential for the development of public policies and stakeholder strategies.
