Keynote 

28th June, 14h30 | The challenge of controlling anthropogenic climate change in the 21st century

Filipe Duarte Santos | Physics Department, Faculty of Science of the University of Lisbon

Professor Santos holds a M.Sc. in Geophysics by the University of Lisbon and a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics by the University of London. He is since 1979 full professor of Physics, Geophysics and Environment at the University of Lisbon and the Director of the PhD program on Climate Change and Sustainable Development Policies.
He is the President of the Conselho Nacional do Ambiente e do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (National Council for the Environment and Sustainable Development) (CNADS) since the 9th of March 2017, by nomination of the Conselho de Ministros (Council of Ministers).
Author of more than one hundred and fifty peer review papers in the areas of Nuclear Physics, Nuclear Astrophysics, Global Change and Sustainable Development, Professor Santos has recently published a considerable number of reports and articles covering climate change and its impacts.
Professor Santos was first Vice-President to the UN COPUOS and delegate to the Conference of Parties of the UNFCC. He is a member of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences. He was also the Coordinator for the “Area de Desarollo Sostenible, Cambio Global y Ecosistemas del Programa CYTED (Ciencia y Tecnologia para el Desarollo)” from 2007 to 2011 and was Review Editor for the 5th Assessment Report of the UN IPCC. Member of ESAC – European Academies Science Advisory Council, in representation of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences.

29th June, 11h00 | Materials by design, response by design: active and multifunctional materials

S. Lanceros-Mendez graduated in physics at the University of the Basque Country, Leioa, Spain. He obtained his Ph.D. degree at the Institute of Physics of the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany. He was Research Scholar at Montana State University, Bozeman, MT, USA and has been visiting scientist at the Pennsylvania State University, USA and University of Potsdam, Germany, among others. From 1998 he has been at the Physics Department of the University of Minho, Portugal, where he is Associate Professor. From 2012 to 2014 he was also Associate Researcher at the INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory. In January 2016 he joined the BCMaterials, Basque Center for Materials, Applications and Nanostructures, where he is Ikerbasque Research Professor and Scientific Director. His work is focused in the area of advanced and functional materials for sensors and actuators, energy and biomedical applications, with over 490 ISI papers and 10 patents in the field.

At the University of Minho he started a group on Electroactive Smart Materials that nowadays is among the leaders in its field. He has integrated the Scientific Council of the School of Science of the University of Minho, the directive committee of BCMaterials, he has been the coordinator of the research line on “Functional and smart materials and surfaces for advanced applications” at the Center of Physics of the University of Minho as well as the director of the Center of Physics of the University of Minho.
