Andr\u00e9 Freire Memorial Lecture (1961-2024)<\/h2>\n

A pioneer of electoral studies in Portugal, Andr\u00e9 Freire was director of the Department of Political Science and of the undergraduate and doctoral programmes at Iscte – University Institute of Lisbon, and a researcher at CIES-Iscte.<\/p>\n

He devoted his work to electoral attitudes and behaviour, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire those who study democracy and political representation.<\/p>\n

This session seeks to honour that legacy. Ana Belchior and Filipa Raimundo will open and moderate the session, which will also feature a video greeting from Fabian Schmiedel, director of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Portugal.<\/p>\n

The session will be followed by a port wine reception.<\/p>\n
