Venue: Imprensa Nacional Library, Lisboa

«The Centre for Innovation, Technology and Policy Research (IN+) at Instituto Superior Técnico, in collaboration with Imprensa Nacional Casa da Moeda (INCM), is pleased to announce the presentation of the book “Que Pirâmide Humana? O conhecimento e as opções de política pública em Portugal 2000-2030″ (What Human Pyramid? Knowledge and public policy options in Portugal 2000-2030)”, by Manuel Heitor, a professor at Instituto Superior Técnico.

The session will take place on 10 September, at 7 p.m., in the Imprensa Nacional Library, Lisbon.

This book addresses the way in which thinking about knowledge in Portugal has been appropriated socially and politically. The analysis is developed on the basis of many of the reflections that have been tested, developed and implemented over the last few decades, especially since European integration in 1986, focusing on the period 2000-2021 and including a prospective analysis for 2030.

The book is structured into seven chapters, so that they can be read independently and non-sequentially, making it easier to read parts of the book on specific topics without having to read all the previous chapters. All the chapters naturally include a personal interpretation of Portugal’s journey since integration into Europe, focusing on the period 2000-2021 and looking ahead to a possible evolution in 2030.»
