𝐌𝐈𝐓 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔💡

Last week, we traveled to Boston for another edition of the Innovation Workshop, an inspiring week dedicated to innovation, entrepreneurship, and transforming ideas into impact.

Throughout the program, our participants had the opportunity to engage with leading researchers, entrepreneurs, and innovation experts, gaining valuable insights into the journey from scientific discovery to market success.

A special thank you to Christina Chase and Erin L Scott for their dedication, guidance, and support throughout the entire week. Their mentorship played a key role in helping participants challenge their assumptions, refine their ideas, and strengthen their entrepreneurial mindset.

We would also like to thank Elaine Chen, Marina Hatsopoulos, Sorin Grama, and Dipul Patel for sharing their experiences, lessons learned, and practical advice on navigating the path from innovation to commercialization.

From research to market, every conversation reinforced a common message: great ideas only create impact when they are brought to life.

Now it's time for our participants to take the next step - turning their ideas into reality. We wish them every success on their entrepreneurial journey!

Yesterday, we kicked off the Innovation Workshop, a hands-on program designed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of venture creation and the commercialization potential of high-impact research and technologies.

Throughout the week, participants will have the opportunity to engage with leading researchers, innovators, and entrepreneurs who will guide them in developing their projects and strengthening their skills in innovation and entrepreneurship.

From research to market, this week at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is all about turning ideas into reality and transforming innovation into impact.

And as a bonus, during our campus tour, we were lucky enough to run into 𝗧𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿, MIT’s famous mascot 🦫

𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 - 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐦𝐚𝐧 🚀

Last week was marked by the visit of Dava Newman - Apollo Program Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and former NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Deputy Administrator.

On May 26, Pavilhão do Conhecimento - Centro Ciência Viva hosted the first “Mostra de Carreiras Espaciais – Geração Espaço”, where Dava shared her career journey during the talk “From Aerospace to Major Space Missions: The Career of Dava Newman”.

On the same day, the event “Space Tech Entrepreneurship in the Artemis Generation 2026–2040” also took place at Instituto Superior Técnico - Campus Oeiras (TAGUSPARK). The event encouraged reflection on the role of Europe and Portugal in the new space economy, bringing together academia, industry, students, and entrepreneurs to discuss emerging trends and challenges in the sector.

From Lisbon directly to Universidade do Minho, Dava also had the opportunity to take part in the “Engineering Talks”, where she addressed the challenges facing the sector in her lecture “Exploring Optimistic Space Futures”.

It was an incredibly enriching week, creating space for many conversations about the past, present, and future of space exploration.

We would also like to extend our thanks to all the institutions and organizations that made this exchange possible - Instituto Superior Técnico, MBE in Space Systems, Pavilhão do Conhecimento - Centro Ciência Viva, ESA bic Oeiras, Escola de Engenharia da Universidade do Minho and Universidade do Minho.

Gaël Forget, an MIT researcher, was one of the invited speakers at the Workshop on Internal Waves.

The Internal Waves Service (IWS) is an international scientific initiative dedicated to the global detection, monitoring, and analysis of oceanic internal waves. The service is currently based on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Wave Mode (WV) observations, enabling systematic, global-scale monitoring of internal wave signatures from satellite data.

This workshop is organized by the AIR Centre and aims to bring together experts from the field to better understand internal waves and how to study them.

Gaël is also involved in other projects in collaboration with several Portuguese institutions — we’ll share more about this soon, stay tuned! ☺️
