As we approach the end of another year, we would like to express our deep gratitude to all members of the Center for Innovation on New Energies (CINE) for a 2025 marked by extraordinary achievements.

Throughout this year, we experienced truly special moments. We received numerous visits to the CINE Hub, promoting high-level scientific and technological exchanges, and we had presentations of research results by CINE members at national and international events, in addition to several other contributions that strengthened our scientific and institutional performance.

An important highlight of 2025 was the holding of two joint workshops, which proved to be landmark events for strengthening interactions between our divisions and researchers. The first took place in Campinas in September, involving the EG and AES divisions, while the second was held in São Carlos in December, bringing together the LCH2 and CMD divisions. These meetings significantly broadened scientific dialogue, stimulated new collaborations, and created concrete opportunities for the development of integrated projects.

We also celebrate, with great pride, the participation of Professor Ana Flávia Nogueira in COP30 in Belém (Brazil), representing CINE in one of the most important international forums for discussion on climate, energy and sustainability, reaffirming the Center’s commitment to major global challenges.

Furthermore, we published a significant number of scientific articles, made consistent progress in the development of new technologies, strengthened interdisciplinary interactions, and expanded national and international collaborations, consolidating CINE as a dynamic, collaborative environment oriented towards innovation in new technologies.

These achievements reflect the collective work, dedication, and scientific excellence of each researcher, student, technician, and collaborator who is part of CINE. It is this sum of efforts that allows us to transform knowledge into real impact for society.

May the coming year bring new challenges, inspiring opportunities, and even greater integration, keeping CINE at the forefront of science, innovation, and the training of excellent human resources.

We wish everyone an excellent end of the year, with moments of rest, celebration and renewal, and a 2026 full of health, achievements and scientific advancements.

With best wishes,

Center for Innovation on New Energies (CINE)
