Associate Laboratory status for ALICE approved
Posted on March 1st, 2021
ALICE, Associate Laboratory for Innovation in Chemical Engineering, has been approved for Associate Laboratory Status. The ALICE consortium, is composed by CEFT, LEPABE and LSRE-LCM, three R&D Units based at the Department of Chemical Engineering at FEUP.
The Associate Laboratory status is attributed to institutions or consortia of scientific institutions that make institutional commitments to carry out the country's scientific and technological policy objectives, in a very competitive call. The status also grants complementary budget.
Congratulations to all ALICE members for achieving this remarkable result!
SEA+TECH: a new spin-off company from LEPABE
Posted on February 18th, 2021
SEAMORETECH, Lda, is the most recent spin-off from FEUP/LEPABE. The company was founded by Sofia Delgado and Eva Sousa, and was created in the beginning of 2021 as outcome of the research work developed by the team of Prof. Adélio Mendes, from the group of Processes, Products and Energy at LEPABE.
As water scarcity is the main challenge of this century, SEA+TECH mission is to develop energy efficient projects for producing fresh water from seawater or waste water using solar energy conversion technologies to supply residential, commercial and industrial applications.
