Prof. Oller Nascimento Seminar at LSRE-LCM

March 28, 2018

On 28^th March 2018, Professor Claudio Oller Nascimento, Full Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Sao Paulo came to FEUP to give a lecture entitled Isolation and identification of microorganisms from copper mining wastes.

The seminar was highly appreciated by LSRE-LCM researchers!

Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM thanks to Professor Oller Nascimento this opportunity of scientific enrichment for the researchers who develped activities in this area.

LSRE-LCM at "Semana Profissão: Engenheiro" FEUP 2018

March 21, 2018

Some LSRE-LCM researchers participated in the FEUP initiative called Occupation Week: Engineer "Semana Profissão: Engenheiro". In three days, between March 19^th and 21^st, this year edition presented more than 60 activities for students, teachers and psychologists of the high school.

The Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM promoted presentations with demonstrations of the different research areas on its laboratories.

This annual event is the ideal time to learn more about educational programmes offered by FEUP.

Thanks to Doctor Vítor Vilar and Doctor Sónia Carabineiro for representing the LSRE-LCM team!
