The fulfillment of FCUP's third mission also manifests itself in its service to the community and openness to society, namely by hosting and promoting initiatives of a scientific and cultural nature, such as book presentations, exhibitions and others.

Exhibitions

The library and the FCUP campus itself are often the scene of exhibitions open to the public, such as "50 years since the arrival of man on the moon" or "Spaces that unite us", which showed the work of students in collaboration with FAUP.
