Local Rotary Club awards IGC and Antonio Coutinho Professional Merit Honour

Every year, the Oeiras Rotary Club honours an institution and/or person who, through their contribution to the well-being and development of the local, national or international community, sets an example of competence, rigor and ethics. This year, this honour went to the IGC and its director, António Coutinho.

The 2011 Professional Merit Honour recognises the international standing of the IGC within the international, highly competitive biomedical community, and also the leadership of António Coutinho over the last decade. It acknowledges the crucial role Antonio Coutinho has played in internationalising research in Portugal and in establishing the IGC as a leading research institute.







The award ceremony took place on 14 November, in Oeiras, to which Rotary Club members and IGC researchers and staff were invited.
