In this 22nd edition of our Newsletter we gave prominence to our Faculty’s Student Association and interviewed its new President, student Francisco Silva, who told us about the various future projects of AEFML and about the activities carried out by one of the oldest student representation associations in the country.

We have also highlighted the participation of our Library team at the EAHIL Workshop in Turkey. This participation aimed to exchange experiences and to acquire new knowledge among Librarians and Health Care Specialists from various countries.

We have publicized the 8th AstraZeneca/FMUL Research Scholarship Competition, so that interested students may submit their applications, and also announced the application deadlines to the 15th “Educating through Science” Programme – Scientific Research Projects for FMUL students (2011/2012).

As we prepare for the new academic year and anticipate the major challenges that await us, the Editorial Team takes the opportunity to wish you all an enjoyable holiday and a good return to work.
