‘Migrant memory: archives of migrant and refugee communities in Portugal’ is the title of the poster that researchers Rita Sampaio da Nóvoa and Maria de Lurdes Rosa (IHC – NOVA FCSH / IN2PAST) will take to Encontro Nacional de Ciência Cidadã (ENCC) 2025, the national citizen science meeting, at the end of next week, in Oeiras.

The poster summarises a new citizen science project that will seek to assess, in close collaboration with the communities themselves, how the creation and maintenance of archives by migrant and refugee communities contributes to integration in host countries, to strengthening a sense of community, or to the protection and claiming of social rights, among other aspects.

It will be presented between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, 13 November, in the lobby of the Templo da Poesia, in Oeiras.
