LSRE-LCM at 16th Mostra U.Porto 2019

April 10, 2019

The 17th edition of "Mostra Universidade do Porto" took place at Largo Amor de Perdição (near Clérigos Tower and Cordoaria Garden) and started with great expectation of the organizarion. For the first time Mostra U.Porto goes out and opens in Porto downtown!

From April 4 to 7, the general public and in particular school-age children may find and experience in the same place the University's educational offer and the highlight for research carried out in different scientific knowledge areas.

Representing one of the Research Centers of the University of Porto, the Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM has interactive activities of scientific experimentation and demonstration focused on pre-university participants but also for recent graduates who wish to pursue studies in the field of chemical engineering.

According to the organization's data almost 20.000 people visited Mostra U.Porto, which exceeded the expectations and represented a growth of about 5.000 people compared to last year's edition.

LSRE-LCM thanks to researchers who participate in this U.Porto event by making possible annually for the LSRE-LCM be present during the 4 days!

LSRE-LCM participation at "Semana Profissão: Engenheiro" FEUP 2019

April 1-3, 2018

LSRE-LCM researchers participated in the FEUP initiative called Occupation Week: Engineer "Semana Profissão: Engenheiro". It is taking place during three days, between April 1st and 3rd, 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 students from high school learn more about educational programmes offered by FEUP.

Thanks to Doctors Cláudia Silva, Salomé Soares, Vítor Vilar and all researchers for representing the LSRE-LCM team!
