Deepening discussions from the inaugural event in 2024, this year’s international workshop explores different connections between the Pacific and Atlantic regions, aiming to bring out not only the shared historical narratives and cultural traditions of Europe, Portugal, and the Philippines, but also their divergent trajectories. By integrating perspectives from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, this considers innovative approaches to scientific communication. This seeks to bridge the gap between research data, human experience, and public engagement. Considering that Portugal and the Philippines have shared maritime. colonial, and Catholic traditions, this workshop sets out to chart new waters through interdisciplinary discussions on syncretic cultures and transcontinental trade among plural societies.
