The roundtable on "The role of technology for sustainability" brings to debate one of the most relevant topics, with experts in different areas.

In the 13^th edition of the Fraunhofer Portugal Challenge, the idea contest promoted by Fraunhofer Portugal, we are going closer to students, researchers, and universities. This is how the Fraunhofer Portugal Challenge ON THE ROAD was born, taking place every year at a different university.
