JUNITEC – Junior Enterprises of Instituto Superior Técnico was recognised for its work and initiative by the Portuguese Institute of Sports and Youth – IPDJ, in the category “Good practices – Student Associations”.

This award aims to recognise and reward student associations that, through its activities, have created an impact in the student community, which is the case of JUNITEC’s project “BTA-Bolsos Térmicos Amovíveis”.

It should be noted that this is not the first time that this project, which is a partnership with Patient Innovation, is recognised. In July 2016 the project was exhibited at the Science Museum of London – you can read more about this topic here.
