About the First Stone: “Stone belongs to the matrix of materials that have followed Humanity’s development since the dawn of time. Ranging from the smallest and simplest of objects to intricate and extraordinary architectural structures, stone has accompanied the ways in which we, humans, have appropriated and redefined the world…” (Projects : Primeira Pedra).

Global Stone Congress 2023

PROGRAM AT A GLANCE

In GSC2023 there will be a combination of  plenary sessions, which will feature lectures presented by invited experts, and, technical sessions, in which oral communications will be presented according to the sub-topics of the congress. During the breaks between the technical sessions, the remaining communications will also be presented as posters. Conferences and communications will be available in digital format.

 

DISCOVER THE CENTER OF PORTUGAL

During your stay in Portugal for the Global Stone Congress, we invite you to discover the Center of Portugal.

You will find a little bit of everything here. Historic villages, thermal springs, mountain communities devoted to design, the world’s largest waves, castles, canals, cherries, and wines can all be found in this region. It is impossible to capture an accurate picture of life and legacy in a region that is so diverse – so steeped in history – unless visitors are prepared to take snapshots; vignettes of life and legacy in a destination that defies definition and seeks to surprise.
