| 2022/11/24 - Current | SOAPBOX SCIENCE is a global public outreach initiative that aims to promote women and their science. In Coimbra, the community
had the opportunity to enjoy, learn, question, interact, and be inspired by 12 women scientists of UC. Scientists were invited
to present their research in an easy-to-understand manner on the streets of Coimbra and to answer questions from the public.

| 2021/03/15 - Current | The ProAction Lab joined the celebrations of Brain Awareness Week, a global science communication campaign led by the Dana
Foundation and the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS). Brain Awareness Week aims to foster public interest
in brain science by sharing the wonders the Neuroscience and Psychology. Due to the pandemic, the sessions were virtual, and
I gave various classes of 1h to the first and second-cycle students about the brain and the vision system. The project was
entitled "Neuroscientists on demand".

| 2022/04/01 - 2022/04/22 | These two events took place in Lisbon and Porto and targeted high school students from various cities in Portugal. The purpose
of these events was to explain the role and activities of a researcher in Cognitive Neuroscience and Basic Psychology. These
events are essential to educate the community about what a cognitive neuroscientist does and to promote the research career
as a viable option for students.

| 2021/02 - 2021/02 | Ph.D. students were challenged to present their thesis in 3 minutes to a lay audience. Participating in 3MT develops academic,
presentation, and research communication skills while developing research candidates ability to effectively explain their
research in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience.

The activity shows how the scientists work in their workplace and help to open the conversation to the general public, erasing
the misconceived image of the closed scientist. It was also an opportunity to see the recently inaugurated facilities, which
now have some big projects running.
