Hot topic in Dalton Transactions

A paper by T�nia S. Morais, Jo�o Franco Machado, Maria Jos� Brito and Maria Helena, from Group 4, entitled "New copper(i) complexes selective for prostate cancer cells" has been selected for the themed collection: Dalton Transactions HOT Articles.

CQE will be present at the next Noite Europeia dos Investigadores (NEI) � European Researchers Night. This is an initiative funded by the European Commission, under the Horizon 2020 program, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), which aims at bringing researchers and citizens closer together. A call for contributions is now open. Participation in this initiative can be submitted as:

1� Individual activities from, research groups, projects, etc., may be submitted in the form of videos, events, quizzes, etc. Submit your proposal at https://bit.ly/2GP90HX

DEADLINE: October 15

 

​​2- Small contributions that can be integrated on the CQE page at NEI: Submit your proposal at:
https://forms.gle/HHjJwQ9zt2ArjVNX6

DEADLINE: November 1.

 

3� 90s Video Pitch

a) Next 20 of October, the CCI will visit the FCUL and IST laboratories to collect testimonies from researchers.

b) Participate by preparing your small pitch movie and sends the film by email until November 1.

​For each of these two options, the researchers should try to answer the following questions:

       Who / Name / City / Country?

       Where / Research Group?

       When / Since when you are at IST/FCUL?

       What / Research Area?

       Why / What is the problem you are trying to solve?

       How / Results / Achievements / Projects?

       How much / Impact of your research in society?

       What is the biggest challenge you face as a researcher?
