        LNEC President honoured by FEUP

        01 June 2026


        The Chair of the LNEC Board of Directors, Laura Caldeira, was honoured with the Distinguished Female Engineer Award from FEUP - Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, a biennial award that recognises scientific, technical and institutional excellence, highlighting the contribution of women to the development of engineering.


        With a degree and PhD from FEUP, engineer Laura Caldeira has built a distinguished career in the field of geotechnical engineering, marked by research, institutional leadership and a strong connection to university teaching, both in Portugal and internationally.


        This recognition highlights not only a professional career of ‘high rigour and impact’, but also the fundamental role of female engineers in innovation, decision-making and the progress of engineering.
