The initiative was attended by over 80 students from the 11th grade of the Science and Technology course, who participated in a lecture on the importance of mineral and energy resources in today’s society.
The session also included a presentation of the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) and the training programs offered by DER, covering Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate courses.
Throughout the morning, students took part in two practical activities:
