The ethno-archaeological project Adegas da Memoria, which is being developed in the Guimaras parish of Vilachá, was presented this week in Lisbon at the 2nd National Citizen Science Meeting.
This event, organized by a group of Portuguese universities, associations and institutions, seeks reflection on public participation in scientific research processes, through specific cases and projects.
Archaeological director Xurxo Ayán spoke about how this project is building the memory of the Ribeira Sacra with the residents of Vilachá de Salvadur as the protagonists and those who really set the scientific agenda.
We are proud that a project developed in Guimaras was represented at this event as an example of public participation in scientific research processes.
Adegas da Memoria is a project of our City Council and the Vilachá Residents' Association, which has the participation of the Institute of Contemporary History (New University of Lisbon) and the Institute of Heritage Sciences (Incipit-CSIC).
