Next Monday, 2 November, at 11:00 a.m., DEMI will host the seminar “Resonance and Composite Materials: Advances in Electromagnetic Sensing” at the NDT Laboratory, Building VIII, 2nd floor.

Seven researchers from UNIDEMI, including five faculty members from DEMI, have been included in the 2026 edition of the World's Top 2% Scientists list, which recognises scientists whose research has had a significant global impact.

O Prof. Stéphane Avril (Sainbiose, Mines Saint-Étienne, INSERM, França)  apresenta a 28 de outubro de 2026, na NOVA FCT, o seminário «Técnicas óticas e métodos  inversos em mecânica de tecidos moles: o Método dos Campos Virtuais».

This new generation of students was recently featured in a Rádio Renascença report filmed during a class of the course unit “Discovering Aerospace Engineering".

The award was presented for the paper “Beyond the Downward Bias: An Exploratory Study for Scope 3 Emissions in Supply Chain”, authored by Jorge Soares, Tiago Pinho, Nelson Carriço, and Izunildo Cabral.

Professor Isabel Nunes, a faculty member in DEMI, has been elected First Secretary of the Board of the General Assembly of the Portuguese Society for Occupational Safety and Hygiene (SPSHO) for the 2026–2029 term.
