Now in its 5th edition, CNM continues to strengthen connections between schools and research institutions. In Phase I, scientists from the GIMM Foundation and the Champalimaud Foundation introduced the programme to more than 100 8th-grade students at Escola Dr. Azevedo Neves (Damaia, Amadora). Phase II then brought students and teachers into the research environment.

The agreement establishes a long-term framework for collaboration between the two institutions, creating a model that brings university research closer to one of the country’s most advanced scientific infrastructures while fostering the development of new joint initiatives in biomedicine and interdisciplinary research.

Led by the Francis Crick Institute in the UK, the team brings together clinicians, scientists and patient advocates, with researchers spanning eight institutions across four countries. The award is funded jointly by Cancer Research UK and the National Cancer Institute in the US, two of the world’s largest cancer research funders, through the global Cancer Grand Challenges initiative. It marks the first time this prestigious international award has been granted to a Portuguese institution.
