O Castelo de Santa Maria da Feira como case study.“. This session will be in charge of Pedro Sobral de Carvalho (Eon, Indústrias Criativas).

The third session of the Spin-Off of the Institute of Medieval Studies will enter the world of archeology. To this end, we invite Pedro Sobral de Carvalho, an archaeologist and specialist in the management of historical and archaeological heritage, and a pioneer in the creation of companies in the area. In this session, our guest, based on the case study of the Castle of Santa Maria da Feira, will talk about the relationship between business archeology and the university world and how both can complement each other to create scientific strategies and disseminate the heritage for diverse audiences.
