Lisbon Polytechnic School

Eduardo Burnay (1853-1924) was a physician, a bachelor in philosophy and substitute professor of chemistry at Lisbon Polytechnic School (from 1893 on, he became a full professor of organic chemistry), and member of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences. In his application to become a corresponding member of the Academy (December 1890), Burnay mentions his Theoretical Introduction to the Study of Chemistry (1888), among other works. ... 

Reading the history of chemistry at the Lisbon Polytechnic School, of which he was one of the authors, we find that, in 1897, a comprehensive program was published that contained a greater focus on modem theoretical notions than had previously been the case. It included thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, ionization, facts explained by Arrhenius s theory, Mendeleev s classification, and so on. This program was published just as Achilles Machado became a professor. ... 

One of the last traces found during this research is connected with the bookf uncfdo Chimica da Liiz (Chemical Function of Light) (1894), written by Balthazar Ozorio, a member of the Academy of Sciences, and published in Lisbon by the National Press. We have already mentioned this professor from the Lisbon Polytechnic School. In this curious book, published shortly after his withdrawal from the nomination to the chemistry chair, and in three chapters, he deals with the origin of the elements and the influence of light. Subsequently offers a summary on a number of topics.

Many associations, mainly pertaining to wine production and trade and pharmacy, reacted against the closure of the LMCP. The Academy of Sciences of Lisbon also joined this movement as well as the directors of the chemical laboratories of the University of Coimbra, and the Polytechnic Schools of Oporto and Lisbon.

As in the last edition, we take this opportunity to thank our academic partners of the organisation of SHO2015, namely, the School of Engineering of the University of Minho, the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, the Faculty of Human Kinetics of the University of Lisbon, the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and the Technical University of Delft. We also thank the scientific sponsorship of more than 20 academic and professional institutions and the official support of the Portuguese Authority for Working Conditions (ACT), as well as the valuable support of several Companies and Institutions, including the several media partners, which have contributed to the broad dissemination of the event. 

Machado published several texts for his students dealing with the whole theory, as well as textbooks for secondary schools, among other publications. Reading the book he wrote with his brother on General Chemistry and Chemical Analysis (1892), used at the Lisbon Industrial Institute as well as at the Polytechnic, we find, under the item Elements classification, some reference to Mendeleeflf s classification. ...
