EUGLOH Summer School in Nutrition and Food Sciences
June, 29 -- July 2, 2021 - Virtual event
LEPABE Researcher Belmira Neto, Professor of the Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department at FEUP, is one of the lecturers at the "EUGLOH Summer School in Nutrition and Food Sciences - The role of the academy to promote health" with the topic: From environmental food print to sustainable procurement in public spaces. This free of charge summer school, is organized by the University of Porto and will be held online from June 29th to July 2nd.
Participants will be able to advance their knowledge and understanding of Food & Nutrition through a scientific approach, comprehend and integrate different scientific disciplines (from production to consumption) relevant to the health of populations, and the needs of society, consumers and industry towards healthy environments.

Training School - DIY Arduino-based platform for monitoring Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
July, 1-2 & Sepmtember 20, 2021 - Virtual event
The COST Action PortASAP, led by Dr. Guillaume Erny, research fellow at LEPABE, is organizing a virtual Training School - DIY Arduino-based platform for monitoring Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), which will be held as online event, on July 1-2 & September 20.
The monitoring of environmental parameters using open-source low-cost portable instrumentation is a key tool to expand the currently-available information. Hence, this training school aims to drive researchers with different backgrounds in the process of building and operate an Arduino-based platform for monitoring Indoor Air Quality.

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! Know more here.

Work with LEPABE fingerprint was highlighted by Canarias7 newspaper
Posted on May 25th, 2021
A team of researchers led by Dr. Nuno Ratola, from LEPABE and Dr. Verónica Pino, from Universidad La Laguna, have seen their work highlighted by the newspaper Canarias7. Their project evaluated the presence of compounds derived from cosmetics and hygiene products in the waters of the Canary Islands and was recently published on the scientific journal Talanta - “Headspace solid-phase microextraction based on the metal-organic framework CIM-80(Al) coating to determine volatile methylsiloxanes and musk fragrances in water samples using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry”
