NSPH in the spotlight at NOVA Science and Innovation Day

Published: 12.12.2024

The excellence of research and innovation at NOVA University Lisbon was the motto of NOVA Science and Innovation Day 2024, an event that took place on 3 December at the Rectory – Campolide Campus, and in which NOVA NSPH took an active part. Teachers and researchers were present at various moments during the intense programme, sharing with everyone present the impact of the science and innovation that the School has been building.

The programme included the presentation of research projects, with a session dedicated to interdisciplinary research featuring Susana Viegas, a professor at NOVA NSPH, who gave a presentation on the project ‘Environmental stressors as causal determinants for immune-mediated diseases – mapping and prioritizing evidence for knowledge-based policy making’ (EXPOSIM). EXPOSIM, funded under the European Commission’s Horizon Europe programme, will start in January and aims to build a solid evidence base on the impact of environmental and occupational stressors on autoimmune diseases throughout life. Examples of these stressors are chemicals, air pollution, noise and allergens.

Prizes were also awarded for the best impact narratives, and the authors of widely cited scientific publications were recognized. In this field, the work of Marta Marques, also a professor at NOVA NSPH, was recognized as the scientific publication with the greatest impact between 2021-2024, measured by FWCI (Field-Weighted Citation Impact). The evaluation refers to the paper ‘The Behaviour Change Technique Ontology: Transforming the Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy’, of which Marta Marques is first author, and which is in the top 1% of the most cited articles published in its year and in the same area, with an FWCI of 11.77 (updated on Scopus on 2024-12-10).

In the afternoon, the event gave visibility to Citizen Science projects developed at the University, with a session focused on Innovation and Value Creation. The panel ‘Citizen Science – Building Stronger Connections With Society’ featured Carolina Santos, a professor at NOVA NSPH, who presented the PAFSE (Partnerships for Science Education) project, which has been able to bring science and the importance of STEM areas (science, technology, engineering and math) to secondary school students in several European countries. The initiative has already reached more than 100.000 students.

Throughout the event, an Innovation Fair was held in the Rectory atrium, where NOVA NSPH had a stand to present various initiatives and projects from the school with the support of teachers and researchers. The highlight was the Social Prescription project, led by the dean, Sónia Dias, in which NOVA NSPH has a Knowledge Centre and also coordinates the Social Prescription Portugal network. The ‘Chemical safety in the EU – NOVA National School of Public Health supports evidence-based policies’ project, led by Susana Viegas, was also highlighted at the stand.
