Activities

Our most popular events are the Carnaval and Halloween parties. You can expect a relaxing time with food, drinks and plenty of music, as well as the opportunity to connect with people from any lab in the institute or just have some fun with your lab mates. These parties always provide an informal setting to relax, and an outlet for your creativity in our best costume and pumpkin carving contests every season.

The quiz parties are the perfect opportunity to test not only your general trivia knowledge, but also your scientific knowledge from all the different areas explored at ITQB NOVA. As always, our parties have plenty of food and drinks to replenish the mind. So, whether you’re a trivia expert or just looking for a good healthy team competition, this event is for you.

Our most recent project tackles the need for mental health and well-being in our institute. With funding support from BANDUA (NOVA’s programme to enhance the well-being of the entire academic community), we provided several activities and workshops to create a space to recharge, reflect and connect with the rest of the ITQB NOVA community:

  • Movie sessions
  • Healthy breathing and yoga sessions
  • Creative workshops (e.g. tile painting workshop)
  • Mindful walks
  • Nutrition workshops
  • World café with experts on mental health, fitness, and work-life balance
  • Game nights
  • Special pool-side beer hours
  • InTera Talks
