In recognition of their endeavour, the FAITH project has been nominated for an ‘.eu Web Award’  in the ‘Better World’ category, The .eu Web Awards are an online competition, launched in 2014 and designed to acknowledge the best websites using the .eu, .ею or .ευ extensions, in six dynamic categories. Finalists with the highest scores from the jury will be selected as winners, and will be announced during the Awards ceremony held on 16 October 2021.

It started pretty innocuously. An email from my coordinator popped up in my inbox, asking if I would be available to prepare a piece for the campaign Be Open about Animal Research Day – Get on #BOARD21.

After decades of scientific efforts, the search for successful treatments of many cancers and most metastatic disease, Alzheimer's and other incapacitating and/or deadly conditions sometimes seems to have hit a wall. The time has come to include a new perspective into the equation: the patient perspective, a unique insight that may help bring those walls tumbling down.

For the fourth episode of the Zoom-In series, meet Francisco (Paco) Romero. Curious about Paco’s research? Check out the Collective Behaviour Lab.

The Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, in Lisbon, is a research institution specialised in the neuroscience of behaviour and the complex interactions within biological systems, and at the same time it is a medical and technological institution providing specialised clinical treatment for oncology and mental health.

To celebrate International Nurses Day, we asked Champalimaud Foundation’s oncology nurses to explore the parallels between their personal and professional lives. From cooking to photography, from Crossfit to ballroom dancing, what similarities with nursing do they find?

One year after the COVID-19 pandemic started in Portugal, the campaign "Conversas com Cientistas - Décadas de Ciência para Dias de Vacinas" kicks off.

For the first time, this Ar Event was available solely online, but that didn’t stop viewers from interacting on all of the available platforms - Zoom, Facebook Live and YouTube - with more than 200 questions shared with our panel of experts.  According to Dr. Bill Richards (who you’ll get to know later!), we are “Moving into new terrain… and we welcome you to join us!”

The starting point for the discussion was the “Inside the Unknown” Science Collection, a project developed by this group in collaboration with Champalimaud Research Labs. The genesis of the project, the creative process behind it, the articulation of all the team’s expertises, main challenges and evaluation metrics, were some of the topics addressed in this conversation.

On the second episode of the Zoom-In series, meet Alexandra Belchior.
