Be free. Have an opinion. FOUNDATION MEETING The annual Meetings of the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation celebrate multidisciplinary debate and knowledge sharing. This promotion of free and informed discussion reflects the Foundation’s mission to contribute to a more informal society, strengthening citizens’ civic rights and the quality of institutions and public policies. This year, on 14, 15 and 16 September, the Tropical Botanical Garden in Belém will be the stage for another Foundation Meeting, this time dedicated to work, a polarising theme that gets everybody thinking. From the impact of technology to the impact of demography, the future of work is one of the most highly debated topics today. To what extent does labour, as we know it today, have an expiry date? What are the main social, economic and cultural transformations that are changing the world of work? How to guarantee that there is a transfer of experience and intergenerational knowledge in the market? And what are the implications of the uberization of work? It has long been claimed that, although technological changes would eliminate some jobs, new jobs would be created to replace them in new areas. But today we are not quite as convinced. And the way technology will continue to transform our society and work depends on decisions that our leaders take today. In this context, and because Work is food for thought, the Foundation has brought together several of the greatest national and international specialists in a number of areas. FOR THREE DAYS IN LISBON, Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia, will be THERE WILL BE MUSIC, joined by some of the most acclaimed international THEATRE, DOCUMENTARIES, economists: David Autor, Juan Dolado, Jean DEBATES AND WORKSHOPS, Pisani-Ferry, Martha Bailey and Sérgio Rebelo.

With a plant heritage focusing on tropical flora, the garden is classified as a National Monument. Since 2015, the Tropical Botanical Garden has been part of Lisbon University and it is currently run together with the Natural History and Science Museum and the Lisbon Botanical Garden, which conduct scientific, educational, cultural and leisure activities, in connection with the conservation and appreciation of our heritage and with the dissemination of scientific culture. Tropical science, the memory of the Voyages of Discovery and the role of science and technology in the Portuguese expansion and colonisation coexist at this historic location, with a “strong didactic vocation”, intended to be a “centre for the study and experimentation of cultures”.
