Interview with Isabel Palmeirim, Director of Education at the Champalimaud Foundation.

Isabel Palmeirim, who was until recently the director of the Faculty of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences and of the Medicine Course at the University of Algarve, was appointed, in June, Director of Education of the Champalimaud Foundation (CF).

Around 600 million people around the world play chess, with 70% of adults having played at some point in their lives; and as 20th July is International Chess Day, we spoke to Champalimaud Researchers Carlos Stein Brito and T. Quendera to find out more about why they play and what the game means to them as scientists.

Since 1999, 11th May has been in the medical calendar as European Melanoma Day (or simply ‘Euromelanoma’). Originating in Belgium, 24 countries now participate in this campaign, which highlights the importance of preventative action, early diagnosis, and appropriate treatment in the battle against skin cancer.

29th April is the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre, creator of modern ballet, and to commemorate this, since 1982 it has also been International Dance Day. This day is dedicated to celebrating dance, revelling in the universality of this art form (across all political, cultural and ethnic barriers), and bringing people together within a common ‘language’. 

The second edition of the European Researchers’ Night (ERN), organised by the RAISE - Researchers in Action for Inclusion in Science and Education consortium will be held on the 29th of September 2023 and will, once again, take place at the Champalimaud Foundation (Lisbon).

The main goal of this public event, organised by consortium partners, Native Scientists, Champalimaud Foundation and Instituto de Medicina Molecular, is to promote, actively and effectively, diversity and inclusion in science and education.
