On 29th May 2026, the China-Portugal Science and Technology Forum on Climate and Energy will take place in Beijing in China's Science and Technology Exchange Center.
This Forum aims to mobilize innovation for global sustainable development, focusing on themes such as green energy, vertical AI applications, and AI infrastructure. It aims to build a new international cooperation mechanism and a model for China–Portugal green technology collaboration.
The Forum counts on the participation of CERENA's researchers Leonardo Azevedo and João Narciso, being a result of the cooperation between China University of Petroleum-Beijing (CUPB) and Instituto Superior Técnico that dates back to 2014. This cooperation gave rise to the "AI for Climate Energy" laboratory, in 2024, which is co-led by Liao Zonghu of CUPB and Leonardo Azevedo.
