| dc.description.abstract | Science education plays a vital role for decision making in an informed society as well as for informed choices in a pre-university setting. In 1997, Portugal launched a national Science program known as Ciência Viva, including the Summer Internship Program (SIP) which, along with other initiatives such as the Science Centers and science annual events, aiming to bring science awareness closer to the population. The free SIP provides short term internships to Portuguese secondary school students throughout the country. We advocate for public and private research institutions across Europe to maintain involvement in, or create, similar scientific development opportunities that are free of cost to students. We recognize that initiatives like these require the proper infrastructure and interest amongst researchers. However, we stress the long-term benefit to the scientific community as well executed programs help draw interest towards Science fields | pt_PT |
