Elvira Fortunato the Program Director received her Ph.D degree in Physics and Materials Science in 1995 at NOVA. She is Full Professor since 2012 in the Materials Science Department of NOVA and has been director of the Materials Research Centre (CENIMAT) since 1998. Fortunato pioneered European research on transparent electronics, namely thin-film transistors based on oxide semiconductors, demonstrating that oxide materials may be used as true semiconductors. She is co-inventor of the paper electronics concept worldwide: Paper-e®. In 2008 she wins an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council for the project “Invisible” grant n. 228144 with an amount of 2.25 Meuros. This project was selected as a Success Story (http://erc.europa.eu/succes-stories/see-through-electronics) from all the projects financed by ERC in all scientific areas. She has extremely relevant national functions as curator of Luso-American Foundation (FLAD) and she is member of National Council of Science and Technology. Internationally she is permanent member of the ERC committee in the area of Materials, Nanotechnologies and Engineering (consolidated grants) and belongs to the Horizon 2020 advisory committee of Future Emerging Technologies (CONNECT DG of the EC). She has experience in conducting well success research teams, national and international recognized (she got more than 11 international and national scientific awards in the last 5 years, such as the IdTEx R&D USA award), as well as in supervising well succeeded PhD students (13 in total), coordinating/responsible of EU projects in cross cutting fields of advanced materials and nanotechnologies (30 up to now), she holds 68 international patents, published more than 460 ISI papers, with more than 6000 citations and 2 books in the field and she is Associate Editor of Rapid Research Letters Physica Status Solidi (Wiley), Associate Editor of Applied Surface Science and Co-Editor of Europhysics Letters.
