The power of community: catalysing food safety innovations for all

The Catalyse Project: catalysing food safety innovations through a community of...

Contaminated food causes 600M cases of foodborne diseases and 420k deaths every year, resulting in 33M years of healthy lives lost, and this is possibly an underestimation. Food safety is a critical aspect of the food sector to protect public health, as it is essential to ensure that the food we consume is free from harmful contaminants. Despite recent advances in scientific research and innovation, several bar...

The catalyse project: catalysing scientific innovation into food safety action

A prototype for an intelligent water management system for household use

Water scarcity is becoming an issue of more significant concern with a major impact on global sustainability. For it, new measures and approaches are urgently needed. Digital technologies and tools can play an essential role in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of current water management approaches. Therefore, a solution is proposed and validated, given the limited pres- ence of models or technologica...

The interface of science: the case for a broader definition of research management

This paper results from on-going reflection within the practitioners group Plataforma de Interface à Ciência (Platform of Professionals at the Interface of Science), an informal nationwide network in Portugal that brings together professionals involved in a large scope of activities related to research management, knowledge transfer and science communication. Due to the wide scope of functions and profiles of t...

Micromisturador polimérico descartável e sua aplicação em microsistemas laborat...

A presente invenção diz respeito a um micromisturador polimérico descartável, constituído por dois componentes: uma rampa e uma base, produzidas por técnicas de moldação, como por exemplo a micro-injecção, adequadas à produção em larga escala. Na base do micromisturador existe um microcanal com detalhes geométricos, como por exemplo degraus, o que possibilitará a mistura de fluido e reagente de uma forma mais e...
