A Fundação Champalimaud, enquanto instituição prestadora de cuidados na área da oncologia e centro privilegiado de aprendizagem, promove anualmente uma conferência multidisciplinar onde aborda transversalmente o que de mais inovador e diferenciador se faz em oncologia. 

In this special Ar event, as part of the Emotions Brain Forum series celebrating Women in Science, we invite you to take a broad look at emotions with us.

We will explore how emotions help individuals, from insects to humans, relate to the world and get a feel of the state of their surroundings. 

An interdisciplinary consortium of experts from Italy, Finland, Israel, Greece, and Portugal was formed in 2017 in response to a HORIZON 2020 call for Personalised Medicine research and innovation solutions. The product of this collaboration was BOUNCE, a funded project developed to explore factors that influence breast cancer patients’ long-term psychological resilience and their capacity to resume a normal everyday life and work, following breast cancer treatments. 

People are not born racist. But as children grow up, their brains, which are association-generating machines, detect and unconsciously learn, through social interactions, to associate different groups of people to different attributes, which can be positive, neutral – or negative. And when these attributes concern ethnic minorities, negative associations give rise to racial stereotypes and racism. 

After decades of scientific efforts, the search for successful treatments of many cancers and most metastatic disease, Alzheimer's and other incapacitating and/or deadly conditions sometimes seems to have hit a wall. The time has come to include a new perspective into the equation: the patient perspective, a unique insight that may help bring those walls tumbling down.

We make countless decisions each hour, each minute. Most of these decisions are made without our active awareness and while they may be inconsequential to us, they can impact other people. For instance, when we choose a seat on the train next to people who look most similar to ourselves or how much eye contact we make (or don’t make). 

Following the highly successful 2019 edition, attended by around 400 delegates from over 30 countries, the 2021 meeting aims to promote better understanding and application of AI and ML in cancer imaging; and provide a multidisciplinary forum for radiologists, technicians/radiographers, scientists and industrial partners to discuss and interact.

One year after the COVID-19 pandemic started in Portugal, the campaign "Conversas com Cientistas - Décadas de Ciência para Dias de Vacinas" kicks off.

This workshop brings together agency, regulator, industry and primary researcher communities in biomedical sciences to talk freely about methods and models and explore common ground.

This is a Champalimaud Foundation workshop co-organised with CONGENTO and QuantOCancer projects, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and FRESCI.

During this event we will:
