The key to success can be seen as adaptability because, nowadays, individuals will face challenges that require skills to adapt to new situations through innovation and change. Therefore, a deeper understanding of different cultural perspectives through
training and education in several fields of knowledge can be achieved through Science Matters (Scimat) courses. Science Matters courses are a cooperation project between Portugal and China. The Scimat Project started in 2007 with a series of International Science Matters Conferences. This is a new multidiscipline approach and a new paradigm, providing a unified perspective for the connection among disciplines in arts and humanities, social and medical sciences.
