A project that reinforces NOVA's commitment to meeting the emerging challenges of the issue.

This is an initiative that aims to improve the academic panorama in health-related fields in the so-called expanding European countries, to reduce disparities in research and value creation.

The new director took office this Thursday, 18 January, in the Sala Magna of the Institute in Lisbon.

The NOVA campus in the Egyptian capital, the first of a Portuguese university outside the national territory, will host a series of lectures throughout 2024 with top researchers from the various partners of EUTOPIA, the alliance of European universities to which NOVA belongs. 

Proof of Concept grants are exclusively awarded to Principal Investigators who have previously received ERC funding. 

The first major conference of the year at NOVA was dedicated to how the university can contribute to supporting and finding solutions that respond in a sustainable way to the problems of the community in which it operates. Matching single people with students looking for accommodation, to be implemented next academic year, is one of the proposals. But it's not the only one.  

The agreement, announced this week by Portuguese biotech company CellmAbs, a spin-off of NOVA University Lisbon, includes patented technology originating from NOVA's Faculty of Science and Technology (NOVA FCT) and developed in collaboration with the Portuguese Institute of Oncology of Porto (IPO) and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) in Germany.

An initiative aimed at promoting and encouraging music among the NOVA student community.

The award, to be presented in April on the occasion of the World Creativity and Innovation Day, aims to encourage innovation and recognise best practices at NOVA University Lisbon. Applications are open until 29 February 2024.

Scientist Returns to School is a project led by a former FCSH and Starters Academy student that promotes the return of scientists to the primary schools where they studied, to promote science communication and reduce inequalities in access to science across the country.
