Since 2021, CNM has been fostering scientific curiosity, confidence and empowerment among students from underserved communities across the Greater Lisbon area through hands-on experiences, meaningful interactions with researchers and sustained mentoring relationships. 

As part of a Marie-Curie Doctoral Network (ELEVATE), we are offering a PhD student position. The proposed project sits at the interface of computational neuroscience and neuromorphic engineering, and is embedded within a strong network of European academic and industrial partners.

The Principal Investigator’s Office is a space where ideas are challenged, discoveries take shape and research moves forward.

Here, researchers get together to discuss projects, share findings and debate scientific publications. It is a space for mentoring, project management and learning – where emerging questions spark new possibilities.

Through dialogue, critical thinking and collaboration, individual efforts become collective progress.

Holt, who identified the Champalimaud Foundation as a supporter of research recognised by the prize, shares the $1 million award with Professor Kelsey Martin, Professor Erin Schuman and Professor Oswald Steward “for the discovery of local protein translation in neurons and establishing its importance for brain development and plasticity.” The Kavli Prize, awarded every two years, honours scientists whose discoveries have transformed our understanding of the universe, the nanoscale and the brain.
