The venue
The workshop will take place at the Academia de Ciências de Lisboa (the Lisbon Academy of Sciences), which is located on a historic building in the center of town. Until 1834, when it became the home of the Academy of Sciences, the building housed the Convent of Our Lady of Jesus (the Third Order of Saint Francis). Today, along with a museum, the academy is home to one the most imposing and beautiful libraries in Portugal. Its collection of manuscripts dates back to the 12th century, and includes historic editions of scientific works by Kepler, Newton, Linnaeus Buffon and many others. The surrounding area has many points of interest ranging from museums, to restaurants, and shops of every kind, and it is perfect for sightseeing.
