from the University of Coimbra (UC) has developed a new aerogel from natural
polymers, for medical and pharmaceutical use, especially in regenerative
medicine. The project's major innovation is in the technique used for
processing the natural polymer. |  |
 | A study carried out by researchers of the
University of Coimbra (UC) has concluded that most part of Africa’s geological
heritage remains to be disclosed, and argues that it is urgent to change this,
in order to attract investment in the area of geotourism that promotes the
economic and social development of African communities. |
| The University of Coimbra supports ten events promoting scientific culture. The awarded activities stand out for their uniqueness and interdisciplinary nature, bringing together the areas of knowledge of the University research centres and sharing their knowledge with civil society. |  |
 | CES-UC coordinates
IN SITU, a European project on cultural and creative industries (CCIs) in
non-urban areas of the European Union. Despite
the increased visibility and importance of CCIs in non-urban areas of the
European Union (EU) in the last decade, there is a clear lack of research and
policy attention to their specific needs, characteristics and potential. |
