The congress venue is located at the Health Sciences Faculty of University of Beira Interior with a privileged location at the Covilhã city. At the heart of Cova da Beira, Covilhã is a welcoming city that offers visitors a mighty landscape framed by Serra da Estrela, Serra da Gardunha, and the surrounding historic villages. Apart from the scientific program, feel free to take the opportunity to visit the city’s narrow streets, with one of the largest and most varied urban art collection in the world, that offer and tell the story of Covilhã, its people, and of the thriving wool industry that once made part of the city life (www.visitcovilha.com). Those who value the beauty, fun and emotions of snow can also find a few kilometers from Covilhã, the highest point of Continental Portugal at the core of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park.
We hope you find here the opportunity to share and debate ideas and science during these three days focused on the innovations and challenges of microbiology and biotechnology research.
Looking forward to meeting you in Covilhã!
