description With the Berlin Conference (1885) the colonial space possession paradigm is changed. The historical rights give way to the Effective Occupation of these territories. After the military and administrative occupation, the scientific occupation was imposed. Better knowledge was required to allow for a better domination of the territories and thus demonstrate to the remaining European colonial powers that the distributed African territories were being effectively occupied. As such, the Scientific Occupation of the colonial spaces rises as an effective occupation technique of the overseas spaces, and simultaneously as a form of international statement regarding that occupation. Several scientific areas compete as instruments and arguments essential for the Colonial State’s Mission, throughout the III Portuguese Empire, with the emergence of several institutions aiming to study, investigate, better occupy and dominate the overseas spaces.
