Católica inaugurates Escape Room to explore the New Degree in Systems and Cognitive Neuroscience

Universidade Católica Portuguesa has inaugurated an Escape room designed to promote the new degree in Systems and Cognitive Neuroscience at the Faculty of Health Sciences and Nursing (FCSE) in partnership with the Católica Medical School.

This initiative was designed to provide an interactive experience that brings participants closer to the fascinating world of neuroscience, stimulating reasoning, collaboration and scientific discovery.

The inauguration was attended by Ana Mineiro, Director of FCSE, António Medina de Almeida, Director of the Faculty of Medicine, Amélia Simões Figueiredo, Director of the School of Nursing (Lisbon), and Alexandre Castro Caldas, a leading figure in the field of neuroscience.

Also present were the coordinators of the new degree programme, Filipa Ribeiro and João Miguel Pereira, as well as the coordinator of FCSE's Postgraduate and Advanced Training School, Joana Rato.

The guests had the opportunity to try out the escape room, overcoming all the challenges as a team.
