The 20^th edition of "Mostra Universidade do Porto" took place from the 20^th to the 23^rd of April at the Pavilhão Multiusos in Gondomar. Mostra U.Porto is an annual initiative promoted by the University of Porto, which aims to inform the general public and in particular school-age children about the educational offer of the University and highlight the research carried out in the different scientific knowledge areas.

Mostra U.Porto is a free event that gathers 14 faculties and several research centres integrated at the University of Porto, including ALiCE – Associated Laboratory in Chemical Engineering composed of the R&D units CEFT, LEPABE and LSRE-LCM. The Associated Laboratory presented interactive activities of scientific experimentation and demonstration focused on pre-university participants and also recent graduates who wish to pursue studies in the field of chemical engineering.

The LSRE-LCM thanks the researchers who participated in this Mostra U.Porto event during the 4 days!
