The 2026 edition of the festival highlights productions released throughout the previous year.
ScienceCast aims to promote science communication in Portuguese, bringing science closer to the public through accessible, rigorous, and engaging conversations with researchers and invited experts.
The award ceremony will take place on February 8, 2026, in Lisbon. The full list of nominees can be found on the festival’s official website, where public voting is also open in selected categories.
This nomination represents recognition of the value of science produced in Portugal and the importance of building bridges between research and society. CESAM thus reinforces its commitment to scientific literacy, science communication, and community engagement.
