COLEÇÃO CIÊNCIA - A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN IGC AND VISTA ALEGRE
A collection of porcelain products, Coleção Ciência, is the result of a partnership
between the IGC and Vista Alegre, a prestigious and market leading
Portuguese porcelain manufacturer. The original images of this collection were
obtained by young scientists as part of their research at the IGC.
In 2011, the porcelain “Science Collection” became available at Vista Alegre
shops across the country, thus extending their availability beyond the Gulbenkian
Foundation shop, where they have been available since 2010.
Use of the funds from Coleção Ciência sales
Money raised through sales of the collection has gone towards scientific annual
meetings organised by the IGC PhD students and post-docs, together
with other funds raised in several fundraising activities (beer hours, S. Martinho
party, etc.) organised by the PhD students and post-docs themselves.
COLLECTION OF DELTA SUGAR PACKS
The IGC and DELTA Coffees celebrated their 50th birthday in 2011 and established
a partnership that led to a unique collection of DELTA’s sugar packs with
IGC images. DELTA produced three million sugar packs with seven different images
of the IGC, distributed across the country thus providing a vehicle to communicate
IGC research to a wide audience. DELTA also sponsored coffee breaks
at IGC events during 2011/12.
