On October 19th, the last lecture of the founder of NOVA IMS, Professor Manuel Vilares, took place.

The lecture was filled with emotions and memorable moments, not only because it was the last lecture of the founder of NOVA IMS, but also because he is a beloved professor and appreciated by everyone.

There was a final moment of celebration, with the renaming of the NOVA IMS building to "Edifício Professor Manuel Vilares", to express our gratitude for the importance of his contribution to the history of NOVA IMS.
