The National Science and Technology Week - SNCT - was established by Decree on June 9, 2004.
It is always held in October under the coordination of the MCTIC, through the General Coordination of Popularization and Dissemination of Science (CGPC/SEPED). It counts on the collaboration of state and municipal secretariats, development agencies, scientific and cultural spaces, teaching and research institutions, scientific societies, schools, government agencies, technology-based companies and civil society organizations.
The SNCT aims to bring science and technology closer to the population. It therefore promotes events that bring together hundreds of institutions to carry out scientific dissemination activities throughout the country.
The idea is to create a language that is accessible to the population. Thus, it uses innovative means that stimulate curiosity and motivate the population to discuss the social implications of science, in addition to deepening their knowledge on the subject. The official period of the 15th SNCT runs from October 15 to 21, 2018.
