The visit of EPSM students and professors to Boston, which took place earlier this month, was highlighted in the latest edition of the North American newspaper Herald News.

In a long report of several pages, filled with photographs, the Herald News highlighted all the details of this visit, underlining the fact that EPSM students, Gonçalo Teixeira, Martim Cardoso, Diogo Lameira, Tiago Rainho, Rodrigo Belas and Prof. José Carvalho, were the national winners of the Atlântico Júnior Award, awarded by the Luso-American Foundation (FLAD) Ciência Viva.

In this report, published in English and Portuguese, the link of the video made by the students about their EPSWater project was also shared.

EPSM presented EPSWater project to MIT professor

The EPSM team was in Boston from October 1 to 8. The travel itinerary was coordinated by FLAD with the assistance of João Caixinha, Coordinator of Portuguese Teaching in the United States of America, who also accompanied the EPSM group on several trips.

In addition to visiting several places of scientific interest, the group had the opportunity to carry out more fun activities, visiting New Bedford, Fall River, Newport, Taunton, Massachusetts State House, Faneuill Hall, Fenway Park, Patriot Place and Wrentham Outlets, among others.

One of the highlights of the trip was the visit to MIT. EPSM students had the opportunity to talk about their EPSWater project with Dr. John J. Leonard, Professor of Mechanical and Ocean Engineering in the MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering, and with officials from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Satisfied, Professor José Carvalho says that they had very positive feedback and received a strong incentive to continue developing this project.
