National Geographic Society’s 2025 Slingshot Award

We are incredibly proud to announce that CLEA has been awarded a 2025 Slingshot Challenge from the National Geographic Society through the Significant Achievement Award.



Among hundreds of applications from around the world, CLEA stood out as the only Portuguese project to receive this international grant, which supports innovative initiatives with a positive impact on sustainability and the future of our planet.
