Under the central theme of efficiency as a condition for a more sustainable, equitable and future-ready healthcare system, the event established itself as a forum for discussing concrete solutions, with proposals for more efficient use of public investment, improved incentives for professionals and patient-centred policies.

Offer Description

Champalimaud Foundation (Fundação D. Anna de Sommer Champalimaud e Dr. Carlos Montez Champalimaud), a private, non-profit research institution in Lisbon, Portugal, is looking for a Operations Unit Officer fellow to join our team. 

Champalimaud Research (CR) has an open position for an Operations Unit Officer, to work in a professional, dynamic and diverse work environment at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown.

Caring for patients is one of the Champalimaud Foundation’s core purposes, and the Radiotherapy Service supports that mission every day. 

In a highly controlled environment, precise doses of radiation are targeted to treat different types of cancer. 

Behind this precision is a dedicated team of specialised doctors, physicists, nurses and technicians, working together to ensure each treatment is both safe and effective.

Every detail matters. Every decision is guided by expertise, responsibility and care.

A synergy in advanced therapies

Signed in Rome on 28 April, the agreement combines the Champalimaud Foundation’s expertise in adult oncology with Bambino Gesù’s recognised leadership in paediatric oncology and cell therapies. This synergy strengthens the link between research and clinical practice throughout the translational medicine pathway.

The Teaching Lab is much more than a classroom. It’s where students, from their first experiments to their PhDs, develop the confidence to ask questions and test ideas.

Used daily by researchers and students alike, this space is a hub for building and refining scientific setups, and a venue for workshops and courses that welcome new minds every year.

It has reshaped how science is done at the Champalimaud Foundation. By empowering students, it strengthens entire research teams.

The symposium will bring together national and international experts to explore the dynamic evolution of the field, with a special focus on the close collaboration between radiology and surgery.

Diagnostic and interventional radiology are currently undergoing remarkable transformation. New imaging methodologies are redefining precision and diagnostic capability, achieving unprecedented levels of accuracy and clinical impact. Innovations such as photon-counting CT technology and ultra-fast MRI protocols are rapidly expanding the horizons of medical imaging.

Venue

Seminar Room

This was the starting point for RTP’s programme Hora de Agir, which dedicated one of its episodes to carbon neutrality in healthcare, highlighting the path the Champalimaud Foundation is taking to become the first healthcare institution in the world to operate on 100% clean energy. The programme featured João Silveira Botelho, Vice-President of the Champalimaud Foundation, who stressed the urgency of transforming how healthcare consumes energy and resources.
