BioISI @ Ciências Research & Innovation Day 2023
Next October 24 will take place the 5th edition of Ciências Research & Innovation Day, an event where the best science and innovation made in Ciências ULisboa is showcased.
The main part of the event will happen during the whole day in Auditorium 3.2.14 (Building C3, 2nd floor). Besides the top science presentations taking place during the day, it will also occur the attribution of Ciências 2022 Research Awards and the final of the ‘Pitch your science! Boosting Sustainable Development Goals’ Initiative.
In particular, at lunch time (from 12,30 PM to 2,30 PM) a poster session (see all presentations here) will be held and a several speed-dates with FCiências.ID will be performed. In addition to the talk that will be given by Cláudio Gomes, Principal Investigator of the Protein Misfolding and Amyloids in Biomedicine Lab, at 3,30 PM (Auditorium 3.2.14) subjected to the topic TWIN2PIPSA – Twinning for strategic networking and impactful research and innovation in Biomedicine and Biotechnology, BioISI will be represented in this event in the poster session. Furthermore, the BioISI Mass Spec Facility will also promote a speed-date on October 26, as part of the side events that will span the whole week, between 23-27 October 2023!
For all these reasons, we encourage you to be part of this day! Participation is free, but prior registration is suggested.
Check out the whole event programme here and discover a myriad of side events here.
