Science & Innovation 2026 is the first major national event organised by AI² – Agência para a Investigação e Inovação, bringing together the scientific community, businesses, policymakers, and European partners to define the future priorities of science and innovation in Portugal.

The event serves as a large-scale strategic forum for debate and co-creation, focusing on research, innovation, knowledge transfer, and their impact on society and the economy. Through plenary sessions, thematic discussions, and participatory formats, the conference aims to gather insights that will help shape national science and innovation policy for the coming years.
