This is the year of the 20th anniversary of CICECO.
CICECO has grown into a renowned research institute during these two decades, where nearly 500 people are today devoted to the creation and dissemination of scientific and technological knowledge leading to innovative materials that address the challenges of a global society.
The JORNADAS 22 celebrate this special anniversary of a CICECO hand in hand with the society for which one aims to work.
The plan is to celebrate in three different events.
The first one occurs in April and is dedicated to the communication of CICECO science to the society by engaging CICECO researchers in the production of multimedia contents and their dissemination across multiple platforms and to different target audiences
The second event, starting at the 14th and ending on the 29th of September, is the CICECO hackathon 2022, an open innovation initiative designed to foster teamwork around ideas for new products or even new businesses, based on the science produced by talented CICECO researchers.
The Jornadas last moment of the year is planned as a major full day event, on the 12th October, with presentations of the best science produced by CICECO and exciting discussions with our honorable guests from different stakeholders, including academia, industry, social communicators, and governing institutions.
This is a special celebration where everyone in CICECO has the chance to actively participate.
CICECO deserves it.

Prizes will be awarded to the best video, selected by the participants.
There are two categories in this year’s photo contest:
• materials@CICECO: Collecting images during lab work, experimental setup, or instrumental measurements is often an important part of our research. Please share your best pictures and contribute to CICECO’s portfolio of science photographs.
• materials@AVEIRO: The city and region of Aveiro harbor a rich variety of elements where materials blend with history, traditions, arts and culture. We invite you to discover and capture those elements with your camera, and to share your photos with all of us.
Prizes will be awarded to the best photo in each category, to be selected by a panel of photography experts/enthusiasts.
Participants will be asked to vote for the best until 17h00, of October 12th :

Communication is at the heart of human life and social evolution. In the era of information, communicating science past the laboratory walls toward the outside world is increasingly important to raise awareness that science is a critical part of humanity. Training researchers with up-to-date tools and skillsets that enable them to better communicate their science to target audiences, including their peers, stakeholders and to the lay public, may open new communication avenues and foster a unique scenario where the contribute of science toward society will be in spotlight.
The Workshop in Science Communication will take place in UA in a joint organization between CICECO and professors from Department of Communication and Art (DeCA), as well young members from the Committee of PhD students of CICECO (CAD).
The workshop in Science and Communication will be held on the 6th and 7th of April and will involve key lecturers and hands-on sessions focused on communicating science to broad audiences and in different platforms including in Social Media.
The workshop in Science and Communication will consist of four experiences:
- making a video to communicate science - theory and hands-on (Prof. Pedro Almeida, DeCA)
- making videos with a mobile phone - hands-on (Joaquim Ferreira, CICECO)
- improve your public speaking ability (Toast Maters, Porto)
- communicate your science through the Social Media (Rute Pereira, CICECO)
The Science and Communication events will then culminate with a public presentation on the 27th of April in combination with CICECO Talk of Professor Nuno Maulide (www.ciceco.ua.pt/cicecotalks).
The lectures will be opened to everyone who is interested in this subject. However, the hands-on sessions to use different audiovisual tools will have a limited number of participants.
If you are interested in applying for the hands-on workshop, please register bellow.
Registration deadline will be on 31st of March, 2022.

Translating CICECO science to society through innovative collaborative actions that stimulate researchers to devise impactful real-life applications to their research is at the foundation of our research institute.
Aiming to stimulate and empower our community to translational activities, a CICECO hackathon will be organized for the first time. CICECO hackathon 2022 is an open innovation initiative, designed in collaboration with MAKE IT Tech, to foster teamwork around ideas for new products or even new businesses, based on the cutting-edge science produced by talented CICECO researchers with the help of external mentors.
The hackathon is part of the CICECO JORNADAS 22 programme and consists of 5 work sessions plus a public PITCH presentation.
Relevant actions and dates are programmed as follows:
### Day 1 - Map and Sketch - 6h
The team will build a problem overview, ideate, and think of a possible solution.
### Day 2 - Decide and Story-Board - 6h
All decisions about the project will be closed and the storyboard of the product will be made.
### Day 3 - Prototype - 6h
Each team will:
- elaborate a commercial presentation of the product. Could be a leaflet, website, etc
- create a form to inquire potential clients/users
- select a list of people(around 5) with buyer’s profiles. These people will be contacted on the test day.
### Day 4 - Test (optional)
This is an extra day that is not included in the Hackathon. The teams that really are bursting and willing to go further, will put into practice the “prototype”. You’ll contact 5 or more potential clients, make a commercial presentation of the product and collect feedback with the form.
### Day 5 - Pitch day
The teams will make a 5min pitch to the panel of experts followed by a 5min of Q&A.
