CROSSING BORDERS

12 October 2023 | Vista Alegre Museum

Welcome

The 2023 edition of CICECO jornadas will embrace topics that overcome the usual boundaries of a scientific meeting, including: career development and opportunities, stress management, national and international networking, and science policies. Together with a PhD. student pitch competition, poster presentations, invited talks, and a musical performance, a very full day is planned. For the first time, CICECO jornadas will be held outside Aveiro, at the Vista Alegre Museum in Ílhavo.
We hope to see you there!

Invited Speakers

Brian Cahill

Researcher at TIB Leibniz

Dr Brian Cahill works in the Learning and Skills Analytics Lab of the Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology in Hannover as Grant Manager of the COST Action CA19117 on Researcher Mental Health. He is a Member of the Governing Board of EuroScience and was Chair of the Marie Curie Alumni Association from March 2016 to February 2018. In these roles, he engaged with early-career researchers on topics ranging from researcher career development, innovation, research funding, science communication, science policy, researcher pensions, research integrity, responsible research and innovation and many more.

João Coimbra

Musician

João Coimbra uses the studio as both a performance space and a sound-based compositional tool. Adding new elements to his studio setup to enrich the sound-based composition poses challenges, particularly in preserving the real-time connection between gestures and sound. João Coimbra's Ph.D. project addresses this issue by developing and mapping a digital musical instrument that generates sound through gestural control.

Pascal Coupet

Senior Director Data Science, Elsevier

Pascal manages the Smart Content for Research department, which focus on automatically structuring and enriching content to support innovation in Elsevier products for the Research market. It includes NLP, machine learning, knowledge representation and big data experts, as well as the development of the new Elsevier All Sciences Taxonomy. Pascal has had a long and productive career in text and data mining. He developed TDM products for IBM and was one of the Co-Founders of Temis, a text and data mining company. While there, he served as both the CTO and R&D Manager.

Art in Science Competition

Jornadas CICECO 2023 will hold an art exhibition devoted to the BEST and BRIGHTEST scientific photos. To participate please read the rules and submit your images in the link below until 15/9/2023.

Rules

  1. Submissions should complement the "science" component of the Jornadas CICECO 2023.
  2. Images may be obtained by any material imaging technique. They can also be the result of modeling and simulation, or can be obtained by combining multiple images into one artistic image. Because the focus is on art, the aesthetic rather than scientific quality of the image is the key element in the competition. Nevertheless, the images must have some connection to materials science.
  3. 3. All images are to be submitted in the form created for this purpose, as a high resolution .jpg file of at least 300 dpi (10MB maximum size) on or before 23:59 (Lisbon time), September 15th, 2023. Please include the submitter's last name in the title of the .jpg file. The Jury committee will select a group of finalists from these submissions and will notify all entrants of their status by September 29th. Finalists will then bring their entries to the Jornadas CICECO 2023 ready for judging and general display.
  4. Format: All submitted images must include a short description of the technique used, the object that was imaged and any special conditions. If selected as a finalist, the image and caption should be made ready for mounting at the Jornadas CICECO 2023. Detailed printing and mounting details will be sent to the finalists once selected.
  5. 5. Judging: The attendees will independently determine the People Choice Award, and by a jury. The following prizes will be available: People Choice and Jury Prize. Sponsorship of Fundação Jacqueline Dias de Sousa.
