Past activities
IA at the European Researchers’ Night 2021
From Earth to Space, IA's activities are framed within both European Researcher's Night initiatives in 2021 – science for climate, and environment and sustainability. Among our offer of online and physical activities at Planetário do Porto, Lisbon and Coimbra, there's action and knowledge in IA's programme.
Free entrance
Galactic Archeology and the raiders of the endless treasures of the Milky Way
Like any other galaxy, this enormous group of stars, gas and dust that we call Milky Way is today very different from what it was in a distant past. Discover how a galactic archeologist tries to reveal its past.
LARGHISSIMO: Interactive sound installation about space-time
A collective exhibition of sound installations about the concept of “time” includes an immersive interactive experience inspired on space-time and gravitational waves, produced by three artists and curated by the platform Eufonia, in collaboration with the Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço (IA).
Inhabiting other Planets
How will it be possible, in Mars, to do such simple and essential things like breathe or drink a glass of water? Learn the challenges that will need to be overcome before a human colony can succeed in another planet.
Unexpected worlds in our Galaxy
If you would like to have a really eccentric holiday home, there are very weird planets in our Galaxy for you to choose from. The hard task rests with the astronomers, as Sérgio Sousa, of IA, will explain.
Reading Week 2021
How the sky shines in the words
Join our five guests on a conversation about reading, books, and how the sky becomes much brighter inside us through what we learn about it while reading.
The Phantom Universe
Part of the Universe we cannot see, but we feel it. More surprisingly, that is almost everything that exists, but we don't know what it is. Let's try to touch this phantom side of the Universe. Session with Tiago Barreiro, of IA and Universidade Lusófona.
International Women and Girls in Science Day 2021
In the International Women and Girls in Science Day 2021, IA researchers will answer questions posed on social media and test the knowledge of the participants in a fun quiz.
