Science Outreach and Physics in World Heritage

The Working Group manages our outreach and physics education efforts. We promote physics and excellence in science education in primary and secondary schools, not only by engaging scientists in visits to schools but also bringing students to the Physics Department and our research facilities. We are responsible for the school of excellence in Physics "Quark!" for high-school students from all over the country and for the coordination of the National Physics Olympiad. In addition, CFisUC collaborates on the outreach activities of the Department of Physics, Museum of Science and Centro Ciência Viva Rómulo de Carvalho. Since February 2024, the working groups “Physics Education and Science Outreach” and “Physics in World Heritage” were merged, creating the new working group “Science Outreach and Physics in World Heritage.”
