The TRACE-RICE project showcased two poster presentations at "Ciência 2024" (https://www.encontrociencia.pt/), held at Alfândega do Porto from July 3 to 5. Organized by FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, "Ciência 2024" is an annual gathering focusing on science, technology, and innovation in Portugal. This year theme, "+Science for One Health and Global Well-being," facilitated thorough discussions on  scientific and innovative advancements across various disciplines.

The posters presented the following TRACE-RICE project findings:

• Physicochemical predictors of the estimated glycaemic index of different commercial rice types: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.26135413.v1
• Exploring Sitophilus (Coleoptera; Curculionidae) behaviour using a four-arm olfactometer: A step towards sustainable pest management in rice storage: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.26132473.v1

This event provided a valuable platform for researchers, entrepreneurs, and students to engage in in-depth discussions and exchange ideas across diverse scientific fields.
