Faculty Marta Fajardo wins Tremplin Mariano Gago award
August 05 2022Marta Fajardo and IRAMIS-CEA researcher Hamed Merdji are one of the winning pairs of the Tremplin Mariano Gago award. The award was granted by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation of France (MESRI) and the French Academy of Sciences, considering the year of the Portugal-France Season 2022 and with the support of the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, the French Ministry of Culture, the Camões Institute – Institute of Cooperation and Language and the Office of Cultural Strategy, Planning and Evaluation (GEPAC).
The winning project NanoXIMAGES leverages on the European Innovation Council NanoXCAN, and has practical application in the area of nanotechnologies, aiming to prove that it is possible to reconstruct an X-ray image of an object through a process with incoherent light. This technique has strong applicability in the areas of medicine and biology.
The projects were selected by an international jury coordinated by MESRI, the French Academy of Sciences and the Lisbon Academy of Sciences, composed of French and Portuguese scientists, to strengthen bilateral research cooperation between two French-Portuguese teams and promoting their continuation and expansion. The official award ceremony took place on June 21, 2022, at the Grand Hall of the French Academy of Sciences.
