CMUC members participate, since 2001, in the project New Talents in Mathematics, of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, dedicated to skill enhancement of talented young university students at a national level. One of the aims is to provide a first contact with mathematical research. Members of CMUC have been involved in the management of the project and mentoring of students. Check here.

Program
In the news (with video)
It is a project with different strands, including, in a free online portal, multiple hypermedia tools and applications to support the teaching and learning of maths (1st, 2nd and 3rd Cycles of Basic School), a solid curricular component and materials [apps, videos, pdfs] to support teachers and parents.

The game "Mathematical Planet 2013" was part of the activities of the year 2013, declared by UNESCO as the International Year of "Mathematics of Planet Earth." This game has the main objective to promote scientific culture, involving schools of basic and secondary education and stimulating discussion on topics related to the mathematics of planet Earth.
The game design (1 board game, 4 levels) was preceded by a contest that served to select a set of cards, comprising challenges of four categories, included in the "mathematical planet." The game consists of the works selected under this call. A digital version of the game can be found here. A paper version was sent to all participating schools in Portuguese territory.
