Between July 14th and 18th, CENIMAT|i3N hosted another vibrant edition of Semana Ciência Viva no Laboratório, welcoming 50 9 to 12th grade students who participated in 14 research projects developed within our laboratories. Guided by a team of 36 monitors, students engaged in innovative and interdisciplinary projects, ranging from laser-induced graphene to fully printed weather stations on paper.

i3N would like to congratulate its members and researcher students elected as councillors to the Faculty Council of NOVA FCT, namely Professor João Paulo Borges, who won the elections for Representatives of Teachers and Researchers as the head of the list, as well as our elected colleagues Rui Igreja and Isabel Ferreira (3 i3N members elected, out of 9!), and PhD student Edgar Coimbra (out of two elected).

We were delighted to host the student delegation from the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering at Zhejiang University (ZJU) for a full-day program at CENIMAT|i3N – NOVA FCT.

We invite the entire community to attend Professor Frank Giesselmann's seminar, entitled “Chitin Nanocrystals from Various Biological Sources and their Chiral Nematic Suspensions in Water,” which will take place in Amphitheater 128, Building II (DCM), on July 16, at 11h00.

As part of the Science 2025 Meeting, i3N, CICECO, and NANOMAT organized the parallel session:
