In the context of the “3BAtwin” project, coordinated by professor Raquel Conceição, the University of Galway (GALWAY) is organising a “Summer School on Dielectric Properties Measurements” for FCiências.ID/CIÊNCIAS-ULISBOA researchers from 9th to 13th June 2025. Anyone from FCiências.ID/CIÊNCIAS-ULISBOA can attend online after filling in the following registration form:

Objectives of the summer school:

  • Provide theoretical training on dielectric measurements of liquids, semisolids and solids, the standard procedures and the techniques and equipment used when measuring this type of properties;
  • Provide theoretical training on measurement of biological tissues, mainly differences between measuring animal and human tissue, in-vivo and ex-vivo;
  • Provide theoretical training on what metadata need to be reported and the confounders that may hamper the validity of the measurement results;
  • Provide theoretical training on Tissue Mimicking Materials (TMMs), including the requirements and the different types, known materials and the process of fabrication.

3BAtwin is a European Union Twinning Project coordinated by FCiências.ID/CIÊNCIAS-ULISBOA which aims to capacitate them with the various specific/fine knowledge and tools which will allow to accelerate Medical Microwave Imaging (MMWI) from the research bench to the patient bedside.

The main objective of 3BAtwin is for FC.ID/CIÊNCIAS-ULISBOA to gain excellence capacity in all sub-fields related to MMWI research, and become strong competitors in translating their unique breast and axillary region device to the hospital, which will be possible by further establishing a solid collaboration with project partners: University of Galway (GALWAY) in Ireland, and Politecnico di Torino (POLITO) in Italy. 

This registration form is open until the 7th of June. You will receive the details for attending the school by e-mail on the 8th of June.
