On November 4–5, 2024, the Técnico Innovation Center hosted the 10th edition of PhD Open Days, a vibrant platform for showcasing cutting-edge research. Among the 150 posters presented at the event, twelve were proudly contributed by CERIS PhD students, highlighting the breadth and depth of their research across diverse fields.
This year, CERIS introduced an exciting new initiative: the 1st CERIS Poster Competition, offering a prize of up to 500 Euros to support the winner’s participation in a conference of their choice. By encouraging such participation, the CERIS Executive Board underscores the importance of events like Técnico PhD Open Days in fostering networking, knowledge exchange, and engagement with academic peers, industry leaders, and alumni.
