Maria de Lurdes Rosa, researcher at the Institute of Medieval Studies (IEM) and lecturer at the School of Social Sciences and Humanities, NOVA University (NOVA FCSH), is one of the researchers invited to participate in NOVA Science Day 2019.

The second edition of these meetings, with its key objective of presenting and promoting the research developed at NOVA, is dedicated to the talent of researchers who have already obtained grants awarded by the European Research Council (ERC).

In 2018, Maria de Lurdes Rosa received the first ERC Consolidator Grant in the field of History awarded to a Portuguese researcher for coordinating the project “VINCULUM. Entailing Perpetuity: Family, Power, Identity. The Social Agency of a Corporate Body (Southern Europe, 14th-17th Centuries)” (ERC Grant agreement ID 819734).

This event will take place at the NOVA Rectory, on 18th September, between 10am and 5pm. Besides the participation of these researchers, the meeting will also count on the presence of the ERC President, Jean-Pierre Bourguignon, the Minister of Science, Technology and Higher Education, Manuel Heitor, and the European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, Carlos Moedas.
