Symposia themes will include Electronic and Optical Materials, Energy and Environmental Materials, Biomaterials, and Advanced Functional and Structured Materials, spanning scales from nano to macro and hard materials to polymers.

Professor Elvira Fortunato, vice-rector of NOVA, lecturer and researcher, at FCT NOVA, leads the Portuguese team.

The Portuguese scientist is a world pioneer in paper electronics. Always negotiate the price of materials that buy for the laboratory and recover the guarantees.

Professor Elvira Fortunato, received today the LUX Award for "Personal Personalities" in the Business category.

Team led by Pedro Barquinha designed (Angelo Santos) and made (Ana Santa) an innovative active matrix, based on thin film transistors (TFTs) of semiconductor oxides.

The poster with the title “Ultrafast photonic curing of solution-based aluminium oxide for thin film transistors” by Emanuel Carlos, PhD student in CENIMAT won the Best Poster Award in the innoLAE (Innovations in Large-Area Electronics) in 22nd January of 2019 in Cambridge, United Kingdom.

Professor Elvira Fortunato was invited by Prof. Manuel Lozano, Director of the IMB-CNM, to be part of the Scientific Advisory Group of the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM), a public research center belonging to the Spanish Research Council, CSIC.
