Prizes

Ágata Salvador was awarded FAZER+ ‘Boas Práticas de Investigação no Ensino’ with the project The Hei-Lab Studio – Experiential Museum of Psychology. This project, aiming to adapt classic experiences of Psychology to the digital context, supports the active involvement of Psychology students in research activities, promoting their close relation and collaboration with the research center of their school and encouraging collaborative work with other fields (Videogames and Design).
