The CleanNote project, a joint initiative between i3N-NOVA and AlmaScience, has won the 1st edition of the "Vamos dar uma segunda vida às notas" competition, promoted by Bank of Portugal.
In a remarkable display of academic leadership, all three finalists in the competition were developed by teams from NOVA FCT, highlighting the faculty's immense contribution to sustainable innovation and the circular economy.
The initiative aimed to find environmentally sustainable alternatives to incineration. By promoting creativity and circular economy principles, the challenge sought solutions that generate real-world value from waste.
The award ceremony took place on January 22, 2026, at the Bank of Portugal facilities in Carregado.

Following our Three Kings' Day gathering on January 6th, we are proud to announce the final result of our solidarity initiative. Last Friday, we officially handed over the collected donations to FACIT, represented by Professor Teresa Calvão.
FACIT provides essential social support to students and staff across the NOVA FCT campus. These funds will directly contribute to their mission of fostering a supportive academic environment.
A sincere thank you to every participant for your voluntary contributions. Together, we are upholding the values of community spirit and shared responsibility that define our faculty.

On January 6th, we marked Three Kings' Day with our traditional get-together, held in the CENIMAT building.
This year, the initiative was associated with a solidarity action, with FACIT chosen as the Secret Friend. FACIT - which means “let it be done” in Latin - is an association devoted to social solidarity within the NOVA FCT community, providing support to students and staff facing economic difficulties. The celebration was honoured by the presence of the Dean of NOVA FCT, Professor José Júlio Alferes, and the President of the Department of Materials Science, Professor Hugo Águas. The gathering also included a speech by Professor Rodrigo Martins, coordinator of i3N, who highlighted the importance of community spirit, solidarity, and shared responsibility alongside scientific excellence.

Researcher Rui Gonçalves won first prize in the SPIN Rise: Pitch the Science accelerator program, whose in-person phase took place between November 26th-28th, in Milan, Italy.
The program, organized by B4i – Bocconi for Innovation, aims to train and help researchers transform scientific results into solutions with real impact on the market, promoting the valorization of intellectual property and the development of technological start-ups.
The project team consists of Rui Gonçalves and his advisors and co-founders of the technology, Dr. António Vicente and Professor Manuel Mendes. The start-up proposal is based on the technology of modular and adaptable solar panels, which they have been developing and are in the process of protecting, which allows solar energy to be assembled, expanded, and configured in a way that is completely adjustable to the needs of each user.
As the winner, Rui gained direct access to the international pre-acceleration program from 28Digital (formerly EIT Digital).
