The LFA was present at Oliveira do Bairro (European city of scientific culture) hosting talks at two levels: 1) Workshop about the role of anthropologists in forensic examinations and an introduction to the field of forensic anthropology; 2) a dynamic and day-long interaction with participants, answering questions and explaining our day-to-day jobs and research at the lab. These were conducted by our team members Catarina Coelho, Leoni Fagundes, and Calil Makhoul.

Last week the LFA was present in Qualifica 2016 – Feira de Educação, Formação, Juventude e Emprego, at Exponor (Porto, Portugal). We promoted Forensic Anthropology and related disciplines as well as the education options available at University of Coimbra. During the 14-17th of April, Exponor was a space focused on networking between professionals, students and professors, in a very informal and fun context.

On the 16th of this month, the Laboratory of Forensic Anthropology was present at Futurália – Oferta educativa, Formação e Empregabilidade, at FIL (Lisbon, Portugal). Futurália is a 5 days event with over 70000 visitors, mostly students looking for education offers or vocation training. Our mission there was mainly to promote and bring awareness to the Lab’s work, and educational programs in which we are involved. Those include a BSc in Anthropology, a MSc in Human Evolution and Biology, and a post-graduation in Forensic Anthropology.
