LUSO 2013
Message from LUSO 2013 Organising Committee
And the hosting city will be...
“The vast community of Portuguese students and researchers in this town, and its 800-year old
university, make Cambridge an attractive place to host yet another edition of this yearly meeting.
... CAMBRIDGE!
On its 7th edition, the Annual Meeting of
PARSUK goes back to its birth city,
Cambridge. We would like to welcome and
cheer this year’s organising committee, who
started planning the event in October 2012.
We are looking forward to it and we will keep
you posted about the developments. To
contact LUSO 2013’s organising committee
directly, please use the email below:
[email protected]
LUSO 2013 is scheduled for the 22nd
of June so pencil it in on your diary!
The 7th edition of LUSO will have, as a unifying theme, “Frameworks for the Future”. The talks,
with an innovative and interactive format, will be organised in 4 main topics. The first three,
“Creativity and Innovation”, “Competitiveness” and “Leadership”, are relevant frameworks for the
development of a career but also of a country, and we hope to explore them by merging views of
people from different fields of expertise. The final topic of the day will be “Thinking the future”, to
discuss the current and future challenges that we need to face, in research and society. One of our main goals for this meeting is to encourage new collaborations and contacts to be
established within the Portuguese community in the UK. For this purpose, we will therefore
provide the opportunity for the participants to network intensively before and during the event.
We are thrilled at the chance to welcome Portuguese students and researchers in the UK, and also
other people with a more general interest in Portuguese Science, Industry and Culture, in LUSO
2013, on the 22nd of June. We hope this will be a day of exchange of ideas and connections that can
serve as a framework for future projects to be built upon.”

1. De onde vem/onde cresceu?
Cresci em Paredes de Coura, passando
quase todos os meus períodos de
férias em Moledo. No entanto, aos 14
anos mudei-me para Braga para continuar por lá o
Ensino Secundário.
2. Descreva o seu percurso académico/
profissional.
Após quatro anos a estudar Bioquímica na
Universidade de Coimbra, tive a oportunidade de
embarcar num projecto Erasmus para realizar o
estágio final de curso. Rumei, na altura, para um
laboratório de Ressonância Magnética Biomédica
em Madrid, uma opção que acabou por
condicionar todo o meu percurso académico.
PARSUK
www.parsuk.pt [email protected]
Depois dessa etapa, regressei brevemente a
Portugal, onde comecei o doutoramento baseado
no projecto iniciado na capital espanhola, focandome particularmente no funcionamento do
metabolismo cerebral. Embora tenha defendido a
tese em Coimbra, 95% da investigação foi feita em
Madrid, tendo estado, também, em Dallas, no
Texas.
Para continuar o meu percurso profissional, a
minha escolha recaiu sobre Cambridge. Esta
escolha deveu-se principalmente à credibilidade
que tem o laboratório e à ciência fascinante que
por lá se desenvolve. Por outro lado, Cambridge
alia perfeitamente a tradição e o legado científico e
pedagógico com uma forma muito moderna e
actual de fazer ciência. Para tal conto com um
contrato da Comissão Europeia (Marie Curie) e
um outro do Consórcio Europeu EMBO, o que me
permite actualmente focar no desenvolvimento de
metodologias de Imagem Biomédica para a
detecção precoce de tumores. O objectivo é a
criação de novas abordagens que permitam
detectar, prematuramente, se os tumores estão a
responder positivamente a um determinado
tratamento, com implicações na prática clínica na
área da oncologia.
3. Descreva a sua experiência enquanto Adido
Olímpico da missão de Portugal aos Jogos
Olímpicos, Londres 2012?
Fazer parte da equipa da Chefia da Missão
Portuguesa, tendo como principais
responsabilidades a organização, a coordenação, o
acolhimento e o bem-estar de toda a Equipa
Portuguesa aos Jogos, fez com que vivesse uma
das aventuras mais fascinantes que
experienciei até hoje.
Tive a oportunidade, alguns meses antes
do início dos Jogos, de ir conhecendo
alguns dos nossos atletas e oficiais, o que
me permitiu criar boa ligação com o
grupo. A verdade é que aqueles 26 dias
passados na Aldeia Olímpica e nos
locais de competição, tanto na
preparação da Missão como no
acompanhamento aos nossos atletas,
foram tão radicalmente marcantes, que
sei que durante muito tempo me
acompanharão como momentos de
grande emotividade. A forma como vivi
a paixão e a dedicação de muitos dos
atletas surge-me também como um
elemento de inspiração para as minhas
futuras aventuras vitais.
A participação nos desfiles das
Cerimónias de Abertura e Encerramento,
assim como a possibilidade de assistir em directo à
prova de Canoagem em que o Fernando Pimenta e
o Emanuel Silva ganharam a medalha de prata,
foram os pontos altos da minha participação
olímpica. No entanto, viver a final dos 100 metros
no estádio olímpico, tomar o pequeno-almoço ao
lado das estrelas da NBA ou vibrar com desportos
aparentemente tão diferentes como o tiro, a
equitação e o ténis de mesa, são algumas das
aventuras que certamente ainda contarei com
entusiasmo daqui a 30 ou 40 anos.

4. O que prefere fazer nos tempos livres?
Sou perito em transformar o pouco tempo livre que
tenho em tempo muito ocupado, principalmente
pela minha necessidade, quase compulsiva, em ter
reiteradamente actividades “extra-curriculares”
com que me ocupar. No último ano, a verdade é
que algum envolvimento associativo, assim como a
aventura olímpica, foram ceifando todo o meu
chamado “tempo livre”. Ainda assim, e
atendendo à minha condição de melómano
inveterado, dedico muito do meu tempo à música
e à descoberta de bons programas de rádio que
me façam companhia, mesmo nos tempos de
trabalho. Por outro lado, sou um amante e um
seguidor atento do que me é contemporâneo, pelo
que acompanho “religiosamente” a actualidade
do que vai acontecendo. Estas duas facetas da
minha vida – a música e o gosto pelo
entendimento da actualidade – levam-me a ter
uma inquietação muito viva em viajar e em
conhecer novas paragens, faceta em que invisto
também algumas das minhas energias.
Ninguém te pode ajudar”
No entanto, a distância que o facto de estar
emigrado há já mais que uma década imprime,
leva-me a olhar para Portugal de uma forma quase
carinhosamente bacoca e inocente, onde muitos dos
problemas de Portugal são sempre suavizados e
filtrados antes de chegarem aos meus olhos.
7. Qual a grande diferença entre ser investigador
em Portugal e no Reino Unido?
Nunca fiz investigação activa em Portugal. No
entanto, imagino que existem factores de diferente
ordem que fazem com que Portugal e o Reino
Unido se distanciem muito no que toca a investigar.
Por um lado, a questão basilar do facto da cultura
científica ser um dos alicerces da própria cultura
britânica (o que não acontece em Portugal), razão
esta que faz com que a actividade científica seja
considerada de forma muito díspar nos dois
países.
Por outro lado, mas como consequência natural da
primeira razão, o sub-investimento sistemático
feito na ciência em Portugal faz com a
investigação em Portugal não se consiga afirmar
como uma actividade primaz para a sociedade
portuguesa. No entanto, realço o facto de existir
(ainda assim) uma quantidade enorme de
investigadores a exercer a sua actividade em
Portugal com padrões de qualidade e
competitividade muito elevados.
5. O que mais e menos gosta de Portugal?
O que mais aprecio de Portugal é o facto de me ter
dado instrumentos e referências para sentir a
minha identidade pessoal. Por outro lado, sentirme Português é, em si mesmo, algo que ocupa uma
grande parte do meu sentir identitário pessoal.
Desde há muitos anos, e agora mais do que nunca,
acho que o Jorge Palma conseguiu condensar muito
bem na letra do tema “Ai Portugal, Portugal”,
algumas das facetas que (também eu) menos gosto
de Portugal. Vale a pena ouvir.
“Ai, Portugal, Portugal Enquanto ficares à espera 6. O que mais e menos gosta do Reino Unido?
O que mais me entusiasma por aqui é a liberdade
de investigar num ambiente tão vibrante (ainda
que extremamente exigente), ao mesmo tempo que
vivo numa cidade tão bem organizada, onde a
bicicleta é o meu meio de transporte preferencial.
Por outro lado, sinto falta dos sorrisos cúmplices e
da vivacidade nas discussões a que tanto
portugueses como espanhóis me foram
habituando. A falta de confrontação constante na
atitude inglesa é algo que não aprecio
particularmente.
8. Website/Blogue/Twitter?
Não tenho página nem blogue pessoais. É um
projecto para os tempos vindouros. No entanto,
sugiro-vos que explorem a página do Cancer
Research UK, fundação na qual também exerço a
minha investigação.
Já agora, desafio-vos a ouvirem um verdadeiro blog
sonoro que é um programa de rádio que me faz
companhia desde há muitos anos, com um título
bem sugestivo: “Cuando los elefantes sueñan con la
música”. Aproveitem!
PARSUK Ambassadors
We are very proud to present our most recent
network of PARSUK Ambassadors!
Please find in our website a full biography of each
ambassador.
PARSUK Ambassadors initiative aims to strengthen our
community, by nominating a PARSUK representative in
various locations throughout the UK and also in
Portugal.
The Ambassadors are volunteers responsible for
representing PARSUK in their respective regions,
consolidating a list of contacts for network and for
ensuring the communication and integration of our
members and newcomers.
Each ambassador is committed to organise two different
events: a social event, such as a dinner or an informal
gathering; and an academic event, such as a “around
table” or a workshop.

Schools Project
Make a difference
This year’s programme includes
three school visits and it is all
ready to go!
Led by Joana Moscoso, with the
support of the Portuguese Education
Department in the UK, this project
brings together the Portuguese
community of researchers and
graduate students and the
Portuguese children in the UK.
In a 1999 study about the Education
of Portuguese Children in Britain,
more than 2000 children were
enrolled in after-school Portuguese
classes with the support of 40
teachers and a high proportion of
Portuguese-speaking students were
underachieving with grades below
the level of other children in the
same school.
According to Teresa Dangerfield,
Portuguese teacher from the
Portuguese Education Department,
the pilot visit held in May in her
classroom “was a showcase of great
success that will for sure be
remembered by every student with
satisfaction and pride for the
opportunity to be little “scientists”
and “movie stars” on the video that
was produced at the time.
The programme for this year was
devised to include three school
visits. The very first one will be on
the 29th of November and two other
will follow on the 4th of February
and 19th of April. With an average of
20 Portuguese students per school
visit, by the end of the year we hope
to positively impact more than 60
children from all age groups (7 to 17)
and to have more than 20 volunteer
mentors involved in the project.
Thank you for your help,
collaboration and encouragement!

FCT Fellowships in the UK
On August 2012 PARSUK released a statement
regarding the situation of the Portuguese
Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT)
fellowships in the UK.
The document can be found at PARSUK’s
Facebook forum page or will soon be available in
our website at the members’ personal login page.
Following a conversation with the FCT during
LUSO 2012 in London, PARSUK initiated contacts
with PAPS to analyse the situation of PARSUK
and PAPS members with FCT’s fellowship
funding. This collaboration was determined to
draw up a joint document addressed to the
President of the Foundation for Science and
Technology, Prof. Dr. Miguel Seabra. The joint
document was sent in August after analysing the
impact of recent changes introduced by FCT and
implemented in the new regulation of Research
Grants No. 234/2012 published in Diário da
República, 2ª série – nº 121 of June 25, 2012. This
information was gathered from members through
individual questionnaires conducted
PARSUK

independently by the respective associations and
from direct communication from members to the
respective Executive Committees.
So far, we haven’t received any official reply to

PARSUK in Nature
PARSUK is featured in Nature
In an article by Michele Cantazaro about
European networks of researchers abroad,
PARSUK is mentioned as an example of
their importance and advantage. In the
article entitled Expatriate scientists get
organized, it is said: “The Portuguese
government had an unexpected critic
when it proposed austerity measures
including cuts to fellowships that pay for
researchers to do PhD studies abroad. In
June, the Portuguese Association of
Researchers and Students in the United
Kingdom (PARSUK) filed a complaint with the Foundation for Science
and Technology, Portugal's main public research funding body. PARSUK
showed that university and tuition fees for graduate students at some
UK institutions cost more than the Portuguese government would
provide after austerity measures; the foundation's president told
PARSUK that he would consider scaling back the cuts. (...) PARSUK was
founded in 2008, following Luso 2007, a networking meeting of
Portuguese scientists in Cambridge, UK. Since then, the 450-member
group has set up annual gatherings at which researchers, politicians and
company representatives from Britain and Portugal discuss ways to
collaborate and cooperate.”
