After the application for the Statute of Associate Laboratory was approved in the call promoted by the Portuguese public agency Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) in 2020/2021, IN2PAST is now taking its first steps. On December 2nd, the Associate Lab was presented in Lisbon, at NOVA FCSH, following previous meetings held in Évora and Braga. Bringing together research units from several disciplinary areas (ranging from Chemistry to Contemporary History, including Anthropology, Archaeology, Architecture, Art History, and Music), IN2PAST joins the University of Évora, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, University of Minho, Iscte-IUL, and the University of Coimbra.
