A first look at what it is to be a scientist

Whenever possible, the Champalimaud Foundation opens its doors to welcome high-schoolers for a visit and to introduce them to the different areas of our work. This is particularly evident in the area of scientific research, and we foster open discussions between students/teachers and members of Champalimaud Research. During the visit, students also have the opportunity to see some of the scientists’ workspaces and to observe the atmosphere of a research centre.

> Following the current internal restrictions, the group visiting the CCU cannot exceed 25-30 people in total (including students and teachers);
> Each visit lasts around 2h;
> If several schools choose the same date, priority will be given to 12th graders and to schools that have never visited our centre;
> Confirmation of the school visit will be done via email, at least, two-four weeks before the date of the visit;
> Groups whose visits won’t be possible to accommodate will be notified via email, at least, two-four weeks before the selected date.

All school visits scheduled for the 2024/2025 school year are currently sold out. In case of new dates, the registration form will be once again available in this webpage.
