This milestone was marked, among others, by the presence of the President of the Order of Physiotherapists, António Manuel Fernandes Lopes.
Professor José João Mendes, Chairman of the Board of Egas Moniz, emphasised the importance of research across the board and the long road that the institution has travelled in this area and continues to travel.
