From September 3, 2025, to September 3, 2026, the Centre for Classical and Humanistic Studies of the University of Coimbra will commemorate the Centenary of the Birth of Maria Helena da Rocha Pereira (1925–2017).
A professor at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Coimbra between 1951 and 1995, and co-founder and researcher of CECH from 1967 to 2017, Maria Helena Rocha Pereira left an indelible mark on Classical Studies and Portuguese culture itself. In collaboration with various national and international institutions, CECH will promote a set of initiatives paying homage to the classicist and her life's work over the course of her centenary year.
The programme will be announced soon here.
