Linhas orientadoras para avalia？？o de encontros cientí？cos. O exemplo de um exercício avaliativo.

this paper intends to present guidelines to evaluate scienti？c events, showing an example of an evaluative exercise developed for the colloquium “from research to practice: interaction and debates”. this event took place at the university of aveiro and had as a priority the implementation of a monitoring of evaluative nature, accompanied by a critical re？ection on the conference and on the very process of evaluation. the evaluation process of the symposium presented a dual purpose: (i) to emphasize the importance of evaluating the scienti？c meetings, as promoter of their quality improvement in future events and (ii) to validate an evaluative tool that may de used as an example and guidance for use in other scienti？c events. it should be noted, according to the study of reference, the advantage of using two evaluative phases, which allow not only the data validation, (and also data triangulation), but also the opportunity to present an initial analysis in the event, although a ？rst and impressionistic analysis, creating excitement among the public and serving as a source of motivation, interest and re？ection on their own evaluation process.
