On the 500 years of the voyage of Ferdinand Magellan, CHAM – Centre for the Humanities (NOVA FCSH) held an International Seminar about Filipino History and Culture at Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, Lisbon, on 21-22 March 2019. It was the outcome of a partnership involving CHAM, the Área de Historia de America of Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Seville, and Ateneo de Manila University, and it was sponsored by the Embassy of the Philippines and the Embassy of Spain.
