Sintra Science Workshop

"Sintra opened the doors to the Water and Waste Museum (MAR), located on the premises of the former Science Workshop, in Ribeira de Sintra. This new museum space is a reference hub in the areas of environmental education and awareness, as well as scientific and technological dissemination in the context of the urban water and waste cycle. The management of this space is the responsibility of SMAS, given its public service mission in the environmental area, in the areas of water supply, drainage and wastewater treatment and collection and transport of urban waste, without neglecting education and awareness of preservation of the environment. MAR will have a diverse program, with the aim of attracting new audiences, but focused on the educational community, through education and community awareness-raising actions for the adoption of values and habits related to the preservation of environmental heritage, especially with regard to to the water cycle, promoting and organizing courses, internships, seminars, meetings, exhibitions and training."
