four seminars aimed at the academic and scientific community.
The
first seminar addressed “The Occupational Health and the Entrepreneur” and had
Henrique Machado, General Practitioner and Family Doctor, as speaker. The
second had as motto “The Occupational Physician and its relation with Labor
Safety”, and was led by Rui Garrido, from AMBISALUS - Environmental Consultancy.

April 2017 with Ignacio Castellucci, from the University of Valparaíso, in
Chile, which focused on the “Shift System: theory and practice”.
