About the election, Frederico F said: “This election is a great honor. I hope to contribute to the mission of the Academy and, in particular, help strengthen the connection between the scientific community and society.”

Hugo T added: “I have received this distinction with great surprise and honour. It is certainly a privilege to actively participate in discussions about the future of science in Portugal and its relations with the actual policies. It will be a great opportunity to understand the directions we should take with an open but critical spirit.”
