For the first time, an award from the Técnico Partner Network recognised the fields of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering.

The inaugural Brisa Merit Award in Green Technologies and Decision Strategies took place on June 6 at Técnico – Alameda campus. This award aims to honour the best project in the Green Technologies and Decision Strategies curricular unit (UC), which involves the Department of Bioengineering (DBE) and the Department of Chemical Engineering (DEQ).

The “Green Pavement” project, developed by Chemical Engineering master’s students Ana Borrego, Priscila Rocha, and Sofia Pereira, won the award. After receiving the prize of 2,600 euros, the students remarked, “It was a very stimulating process that showed the impact we can have beyond engineering.” See more.
