The AI-HERA project is part of an IAEA CRP aiming to further develop the application of nuclear analytical techniques for the characterization of cultural heritage (CH) objects in order not only to better understand their technological, historical and societal interconnections but also for supporting strategies for their preservation. Resorting to machine-learning (ML) and AI algorithms,
OREOBATT Project – “Organic Electroactive Materials as Electrodes for Next-Generation Batteries” is a FCT – Exploratory Project. A team of researchers from C2TN, led by Sandra Rabaça, in collaboration with CeFEMa, where the project is coordinated by Diogo Santos, is developing a new generation of organic electroactive materials (OEMs) for high-performance, low-cost batteries. The project
ARSENIX Project – “Portuguese rice fields as a laboratory modelling for water decontamination by iron chelatin type nanoparticles” is a FCT – Exploratory Project. It is focused on the study of the release of toxic metals, particularly Arsenium, into water systems during the rice growth, which is of great importance. Different methods based on the
WATER4MED project (Water management strategies and Adaptation acTions undER a global change context FOR the MEDiterranean region” (PRIMA II section) aims to develop new approaches to adapt water governance models to the current context of global changes (climate change and growing demand) in order to define efficient water management strategies through numerical calculations, advanced hydrochemical
Photon dosimeters are used for measuring radiation doses to protect people from the harmful effects of ionising radiation. However, the recent update of the basic standard for photon reference radiation fields in radiation protection, ISO 4037:2019, has presented significant challenges to calibration laboratories and industry, such as high costs and increased need for manpower. This
X-ray imaging is an important technique used in medicine however it’s use forms the largest component of exposure to artificial ionizing radiation. Consistent quantification of a patient’s exposure to radiation with calibrated dosimetry equipment is essential to comply with Council Directive and ensure patient safety. Currently, the procedures used by calibration laboratories, based on relevant
Since the beginning of the 21st century, the multidisciplinary field of targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) has been gaining increasing relevance. However, most of targeted radionuclide therapy pre-clinical radiobiological studies have been performed in conventional in vitro cell culture systems, which fail to recapitulate some of the features of in vivo tumors. In this exploratory project
In the last decades, the awareness of consumers about the relationship between food and health is increasing as a result of the marketing of food products with health claims, the so-called functional foods. These can be defined as “foods or ingredients of foods that provide an additional physiological benefit beyond their basic nutrition”. Low energy

The EU-funded RADOV project aims to use high-energy radiation from electron accelerators to produce bioactive peptides derived from egg proteins. Using electron beam irradiation, it will design and develop two new products containing bioactive proteins/peptides. This will be done to broaden the applications of ionizing radiation and to demonstrate the wide range of its uses.
A bilateral project between Portugal and Tunisia (Institut Supérieur de Biotechnologie de Sidi Thabet, Université de La Mannouba) focuses on the effects of conventional and non-conventional strawberries processing on their microbial, sensorial and nutritional properties and also their antioxidants profiles and bioactive properties (antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial). This study will contribute to the body of knowledge
