Com o presente trabalho pretende-se elaborar a Carta Educativa de Palmela preparando-a para o desenvolvimento de um planeamento estratégico educativo municipal com um alcance mais alargadosobre o sistema educativo local, e não apenas focado na gestão da rede de estabelecimentos, capaz de responder aos atuais desafios da escola e às necessidades do concelho no domínio da educação,tendo como vocação a promoção do sucesso escolar e da qualidade das aprendizagens e a redução do abandono escolar precoce, num quadro de reforço do papel recursivo das autarquias no sistemaeducativo.

A elaboração da Carta Educativa é da competência da Câmara Municipal e deve conter a caracterização da rede escolar (edificado e equipamentos), o diagnóstico concelhio, projeções de desenvolvimento demográfico e socioeconómico e uma proposta de intervenção ao nível da rede pública. A revisão desse documento em caso de criação ou encerramento de estabelecimentos escolares (do Pré-escolar, Ensino Básico e Secundário), de desconformidade com os princípios, objetivos e parâmetros técnicos do ordenamento da rede educativa e, de forma obrigatória, de dez em dez anos. Com o presente trabalho pretende-se rever a Carta Educativa de Sesimbra, com vista a prepará-la para o desenvolvimento de um Plano Estratégico Educativo Municipal com um alcance mais alargado, respondendo aos atuais desafios da escola e às necessidades do concelho no domínio da educação, tendo como vocação a promoção do sucesso escolar e da qualidade das aprendizagens, num quadro de reforço do papel recursivo das autarquias no sistema educativo.

‘Science for Everyone’ has been perceived as a motto to involve the general public, especially young students, with research activities and scientific knowledge that may answer to concerns related to sustainability, climate neutrality and social inclusion, major world and European challenges. This proposal intends to directly respond to Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) goals of the EU framework program by raising the public awareness, also among school communities, about the relevance of science to assure resources preservation, decarbonization and inclusion and by bridging the gap between scientists and society, giving researchers the opportunity to perceive the main concerns of citizens and how those see and understand their work. Schools and their students will be involved in activities during the whole project, in order to ensure the impact in such communities. Thus, by increasing public and students outreach, ‘SCIEVER’ will contribute simultaneously for two main objectives: (i) improving the understanding of the importance of scientific careers development and science investments; (ii) increasing researchers' understanding of the role of society as a whole for sustainable science policies development. The consortium of this project is coordinated by the University of Lisbon through the National Museum of Natural History and Science and combines efforts between researchers of major universities in Portugal, including four urban areas from north to south – the University of Minho, the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, the University of Évora, the University of Coimbra and the Lisbon University Institute for the impact assessment. Nova University in Lisbon will coordinate a special program targeting school communities and the Superior School for Tourism in Estoril will contribute to disseminate food security practices. The Lisbon municipality is a central partner for the engagement of diverse audiences and civil society stakeholders.

Digital society and AI are posing new challenges to cities through opportunities to improve the performance and democratization of local and regional public administrations in their relationship with citizens and companies. Digital and AI’s impacts on the structure of inequality have not yet been sufficiently studied within and between countries and at the city levels. We aim to analyse environmental data and inequalities, by simultaneously advancing the social science problem of sustainable development, and improving the digital tools for city problem-solving, together with social stakeholders and municipalities. Through data science and the application of machine learning, statistical data, and place-based knowledge concerning climate problems, the project intends to produce a digital toolkit of geographical-interactive maps of sustainable footprint, supported by a system of multidimensional indicators of environmental inequalities and urban lifestyles, mobility patterns and transport usage.    

- O desenvolvimento do MAPP-CIES seguindo uma perspetiva compreensiva das políticas públicas (desenvolvidas ao longo de quatro fases, a conceção, o planeamento, a concretização e os resultados) assente na Teoria da Mudança e numa abordagem multimétodo que utilize o método de Avaliação de Impacto Contrafactual, ou outros, na avaliação de impactos;- A construção de um Guião de Orientação MAPP-CIES que sirva de orientação para os futuros avaliadores de políticas públicas, financiadas por fundos europeus ou outras, que indique, para cada dimensão de análise: as questões a responder, as estratégias metodológicas e as limitações que podem ser encontradas e como as contornarem. 

The European Green Deal proposes the EU to be climate neutral by 2050 by promoting a series of initiatives that will protect the environment and boost the green economy, cutting pollution. This proposal uses the motto ""Science for Climate"" (SCICLI) as a point of departure to achieve two main goals: (i) raise Portuguese citizens' awareness, particularly young people, towards innovation and research being conducted in Europe to develop green technology, industry and transport and to preserve ecosystems and natural resources; and (ii) bring researchers closer to civil society, enabling meaningful opportunities for communities to express their concerns and expectations about research and, more generally, about science to face climate changes. This direct connection with people's concerns allows a simple contact among all social players, responding to Responsible, Research & Innovation (RRI) goals, and brings the public attention to the need of promoting social cohesion and inclusion while preserving cultural identity and responding to the European Green Deal. The SCICLI proposal for the European Researchers' Night (ERN) 2021 will therefore rely on the social, economic and environmental dimensions for sustainability, while promoting the relevance of science and research to contribute for climate neutrality in the future.SCICLI will involve large segments of the scientific community in public engagement and science communication/awareness activities during the ERN and build-up activities. It will go where citizens are: this project proposes to reach four regions/cities from North to South of Portugal, involving six universities, municipalities and new research institutions from different scientific areas. It will target all age groups, with special focus on young people who are being pressured to adapt to the consequences of global changes in the next decades, and encouraging them to actively contribute with solutions by choosing scientific careers.

Experts have continuously tried to raise public awareness of the relevance of science in a bid to assure quality of life in the future while achieving sustainability and bridging the gap between scientists and society. This gives researchers the opportunity to perceive the main concerns of society as well as how their work is seen and understood by the public; moreover, it gives them the chance to engage young people in science. The EU-funded SCINAT project is taking on this challenge, trying to involve the public with research activities organised across urban areas in Portugal. Its main aim is to answer societal concerns about how to face global challenges by preserving natural and cultural heritage, ecosystems and resources, atthe same time improving quality of life.

‘Science in the city’ will be the motto to involve the general public with research activities and scientific knowledge that are underway to help answering to major concerns of urban communities related to global changes, and to shape and improve quality of life for the next decades. This motto is highlighted given the increasing levels of concern perceived in urban society, in particular among young people, on how to overcome global changes, while preserving natural and cultural heritage in the attempt to reach sustainability. By adopting this vision for the European Researchers' Night, this proposal intends to respond to Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) and societal goals of the EU framework program. It aims therefore to raise public awareness on the relevance of science to assure quality of life in the future and to bridge the gap between scientists and society, giving researchers the opportunity to perceive the main concerns of citizens and how they see and understand their work, while engaging young people with science. The project will reflect on this problematic in the context of cultural heritage preservation. The consortium of this project, coordinated by the University of Lisbon through the National Museum of Natural History and Science (MUHNAC-ULisboa), combines efforts between researchers of major universities in Portugal – University of Minho, University of Lisbon, Nova University in Lisbon, University of Évora and the Lisbon University Institute. The Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies in Estoril will contribute to the cultural heritage preservation approach while disseminating food security practices and the Lisbon municipality will be a central partner for the engagement of diverse audiences and civil society stakeholders. The project will cover urban areas in Portugal from north to south, bridging the gap between researchers and society and contributing to bring societal actors together for the research and innovation process.

O projeto é executado por uma equipa de investigadores afetos ao CIES-IUL, à qual compete: a) Apoiar os municípios no levantamento das manifestações tauromáquicas presentes nos seus territórios. b) Promover o levantamento da componente nacional da cultura tauromáquica, isto é, dos elementos que não se reduzem aos territórios municipais, mas antes, que apresentem dimensão nacional. c) Elaborar conteúdos e reunir a documentação necessária às propostas de registo das práticas taurinas em território nacional para o Inventário Nacional do Património Imaterial (INPCI).

The main goals of the Sustainable Workforce project are: a) to analyze the causes of organizational investments: Why do some organizations invest in a sustainable workforce while others do not? b) to explore which employees are actually going to make use of these investments; c) to investigate the returns of these investments for individual employees, organizations and countries, in terms of, for example, increased job satisfaction, better performance and a flourishing economy. The project will be exploring the causes and consequences of investments made for organizations and its employees in human and social capital; new ways of working. The Sustainable Workforce Survey collected information from organizations, managers and employees in Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
