The Coordinated Humanitarian Response, Health and Displacement action-research project aims to implement an international master's degree, including European and African universities - HumanResponse Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree. The programme aims to provide a unique multidisciplinary programme in teaching and research about life-saving assistance and displacement in volatile contexts. The Erasmus Mundus project provides 60 scholarships for students, teacher mobility and lectures by Visiting Scholars from various countries.  In addition, it contributes to research with articles on innovative topics. The programme is jointly developed by Iscte-University Institute of Lisbon, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Makerere University (MU), University of Cape Verde (UniCV), University of Santiago (US), University of Athens (UAthens) and University of Rovuma (URovuma). The first semester is spent in Lisbon, Portugal, the second semester in Trondheim, Norway, and the third semester in Kampala, Uganda, before the students move to one of the seven partner institutions to work on their master’s thesis. In the fourth-semester students may collect dissertation data in humanitarian contexts with 23 institutions (associated partners) in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South America or Asia. The curriculum is taught by both academics and practitioners, emphasizing problem-based learning and knowledge application opportunities in summer schools and internships.   HumanResponse tackles both research and teaching to address the pressing need for professionalisation of humanitarian workers through: fostering South-North collaboration and multi-stakeholder cooperation, strengthening localized leadership, and articulating theory and practice to navigate organizational complexity in humanitarian action.

O estudo em referência tem como objetivo nuclear produzir informação em dois níveis complementares:- No plano europeu, o projeto EUROSTUDENT, toma por base uma lista alargada de indicadores harmonizados e comparáveis. Este conjunto de indicadores, tendo o seu foco principal nas condições de vida dos estudantes, inclui temas tão diversos como a transição e acesso ao ensino superior; tipos e modalidades de estudo; origens sociais; residência/alojamento; despesas; rendimentos; emprego e quotidiano (distribuição de tempos); mobilidade e internacionalização; e avaliação da qualidade do programa de estudos e planos para o futuro. Nesta edição (EVIII), introduziram-se módulos respeitantes a questões suplementares, nomeadamente sobre as consequências da pandemia (provocada pela Covid19), bem estar e saúde mental e experiências de discriminação.- No plano nacional, produzir informação, em termos gerais, sobre as condições socioeconómicas dos estudantes portugueses do ensino superior (com a diversidade da temática apresentada anteriormente). Importa sublinhar que uma parte da equipa proponente da presente proposta foi responsável pela realização do INQUÉRITO SOCIOECONÓMICO AOS ESTUDANTES DO ENSINO SUPERIOR EM PORTUGAL, em 4 rounds anteriores: no Projeto EUROSTUDENT (EII) 2005, EUROSTUDENT (EIII) 2008, EUROSTUDENT (VI) 2018, EUROSTUDENT VII, 2021.

The research project includes the formulation of the main conclusions and recommendations on the subjects covered, in order to support public policies directed at the LGBTI+ population.    

Socioeconomic Survey of Higher Education Students in Portugal in 2017 The overall objective of this project is to produce knowledge about the living conditions of students of higher education, allowing, for each of the subsystems (university and polytechnic), to obtain scientifically valid information at national level and comparable at European level (this project is being developed under the European Project Eurostudent).  The main thematic dimensions of student characterization are: A - Demographics; B - Transition and access; C - Types and modalities of study; D - Social background; E - Accommodation; F – Students expenses; G – Students income; H - Employment and time budgets; I - Mobility and internationalization; J - Assessment of Studies and Future Plans.

The general objective of the project is to develop advanced research and to strengthen and expand education provisioning in the area of educational public policies and school administration.
