The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) covers the 110 years of history of Instituto Superior Técnico, through its past, present and future objects.

A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.

A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.

Today’s episode (#90) – 14th April 2023: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – The student records of Maria de Lourdes Pintasilgo.

The student file of the Técnico alumna Maria de Lourdes Pintasilgo (Chemical-Industrial Engineering) bears witness to the academic journey of a distinct and pioneer personality, from the moment she entered the School in 1947, until her graduation in 1953. The set of documents – curricular units taken, papers presented, grades obtained – helps to understand the history of a woman who left a mark on engineering, society and politics in Portugal (she is still the first and only female Prime Minister in Portugal). In 2016, Técnico created an Award in her honour to inspire and “recognise the key role of women in all areas of Engineering”.
