Sandra Cabo Verde, researcher at C2TN, uses radiation technologies to extract bioactive compounds from food and waste from the agri-food industry. Know more in 90 seconds of science!   https://www.90segundosdeciencia.pt/episodes/ep-1814-sandra-cabo-verde/    

The expertise of the C2TN includes activities about Radiological Safety and Protection, covering the detection, identification and quantification of radionuclides, exposure of individuals to radiation through measurement, evaluation and calculation of doses, the study of shielding characteristics of materials, and computational modelling from radiation fields and sources, critical components not only in situations of war,

The majority of the population continues associating the terms “radiation” and “nuclear” with negative aspects and imminent danger. Therefore, it is necessary to elucidate the potentialities of nuclear sciences and techniques and in what form radiations can be put into service of society. The benefits for society associated with the use of radiation ionizing largely

Scientist returns to school is an initiative promoted by Native Scientist, which is a network of over 3,000 scientists that aims to broad the horizons of children through science outreach educational programmes. Nuno Canha, researcher at C2TN, shared his research about air quality and his experience as a scientist with children from two primary schools

Sandra Rabaça, researcher at C2TN dedicates her research to the study of the properties of multifunctional molecular bilayer materials. These materials have electrical properties and could be applied to semiconductors and electronic devices.

Marta Almeida, researcher at C2TN, coordinated the LIFE Index-Air project, an initiative that aimed to improve air quality in European cities and reduce its effects on health. Know more in 90 seconds of science! https://www.90segundosdeciencia.pt/episodes/ep1261-marta-almeida/

The active participation of the population in scientific projects, usually reserved to scientists, opens opportunities for non-scientific communication of problems related to air quality and changes in behavior.
