Faculty of Dental Medicine inaugurates CED-MeD - Centre for Digital Education in Dental Medicine

The Faculty of Dental Medicine of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP) inaugurated the Centre for Digital Teaching in Dental Medicine - CED-MeD on 30 October.

The creation of this centre is the result of the InDig - Innovation and Digital teaching technologies in Dental Medicine project, co-financed by the Human Capital Operational Programme (POCH) and Portugal 2020.

At the inauguration ceremony of this new centre, the Director of the Faculty of Dental Medicine, Marlene Barros, highlighted the importance of this project for the future of digital transformation at the FMD.
