The 2nd Doctoral Congress in Engineering (DCE17) was held at FEUP on June 8th and 9th, 2017.

This symposium was an open forum for research done by PhD students, MSc students and other young researchers of the several areas of engineering, with the aim to enable the discussion with peers, professors and industry.

The organization of this event intended to provide knowledge sharing between FEUP and other national and international participants, encouraging them to present their ongoing research and promote networking between the participants.

The PhD students of LSRE-LCM took this as an excelente opportunity to present developments in their research work through oral presentations and posters sessions.
