"The project introduces an innovative GET approach (Grounded+Ecological+Transition) to pro-green urbanism and climate-sensitive territorial regeneration, tackling key challenges in the Mediterranean. It aims to create new curricula and networks of knowledge exchange to develop sustainable strategies, processes, and solutions that promote resilient, inclusive, and contextually-sensitive urban environments. This capacity-building initiative merges the place-based architectural and planning traditions of South-European schools to strengthen education, research and collaborative practice in the South Mediterranean (Egypt, Morocco) and Western Balkans (Albania, Montenegro). The project addresses the priority common needs in the regions (1) low effectiveness in the implementation of global policies, (2) fragmented and uncoordinated uni-sectoral plans, and finally, (3) the tardiness of the HE systems in qualifying graduates to address real development challenges and societal needs. The resulting curricula will be developed, tested, and transferred in a consortium of three European and seven non-European universities, alongside NGOs, that will drive structural education reform introducing integrative curricula, methodologies, and practical education. Curricula development process includes: (1) hands-on seminars for teacher training in Europe, and (2) workshops to test, fine-tune and contextualize content and methodologies. A second result is the establishment of an interdisciplinary, intersectoral network of upgraded GET Labs Labs in non-EU countries. The GET Labs will involve non-academics in the green transition and engage them with academia in an educational framework that is adaptable, practice-oriented, and responsive to local cultures, ecosystems, and socio-economic conditions. Ultimately, the project envisions enhanced HE systems that prepare young professionals to lead the green, sustainable and inclusive development of the Mediterranean."

Today, the world’s prisons are home to circa 11.5 million people globally, an increase of more than 27% from 2000. Post-incarceration is a major challenge that reflects and contributes to the broader systemic issues within the criminal justice system, expressed by high recidivism rates. This interdisciplinary project proposes to reframe what spatial assemblies, edifices and policies are necessary on the path from prison, addressing the reentry process using housing as an infrastructure of care, incorporating an abolitionist epistemology. HOUSINGFREEDOM aims to: — Develop an innovative conceptualisation for studying housing in the context of post-incarceration, by conducting a far-reaching study of reentry processes. This approach is designed to overcome limitations in global scholarship on the nexus between postincarceration life and housing insecurity. — Map and study how can the narratives of the formerly incarcerated people and their housing struggle facing reentry inform practical interventions, shaping more just urban landscapes, under a ‘abolition by design’ approach, also offering incisive policy analysis to informs policy reform. — Provide a solid conceptual, methodological, and empirical foundation for carcerality studies across a vast range of disciplines, through a participatory approach. Methodologically, HOUSINGFREEDOM offers innovative design-based spatial and visual analysis strategies to reimagine spatial justice and decent housing for those who leave incarceration, along mapping and multimodal ethnography. A research-by-design approach to humanize (not criminalize) by design will engage a Community of Practice with those affected by carcerality, centred in Portugal, Belgium and Norway. Radical and ambitious, HOUSINGFREEDOM bridges the gap between these seemingly distinct fields, carcerality and housing instability, by shedding light on the cyclical nature of poverty, crime, and social exclusion.

Rhythm4RAW irá determinar de que forma as competências ritmo-musicais se relacionam com a leitura e escrita em crianças e atestar se um treino ritmo-musical é útil na melhoria destas competências. Examinaremos predisposição e experiência usando uma abordagem multimétodo que analisa comportamento e processos cerebrais e combina evidência transversal e longitudinal. Um plano de disseminação e promoção ambicioso irá maximizar o impacto do projeto.

 O projecto visa medir as expectativas de inflação de preços e salários, modelando os agentes como sendo capazes de escolher entre diferentes regras de expectativas com base no seu desempenho passado. O estudo será conduzido por um grupo de dois investigadores nucleares (especializados em macroeconomia e econometria) e vários consultores de bancos centrais (que ajudarão com pareceres sobre o estudo e divulgação dos resultados).

O PNRn, aprovado pela Resolução Conselho de Ministros (RCM) n.º 150-A/2022, de 29 dezembro, apresenta-se como um instrumento de planeamento macro da política de proteção efetiva de trabalhadores e da população em geral à exposição ao radão no interior dos edifícios, estabelecendo orientações estratégicas de âmbito nacional, tendo em vista a concretização dos princípios enunciados na legislação da União Europeia (UE) e nacional e com o objetivo de reduzir os riscos de longo prazo decorrentes da exposição ao radão em habitações, edifícios abertos ao público e locais de trabalho. A definição de estratégias e de orientações concretas conducentes: (i) à consciencialização dos riscos de exposição ao radão, (ii) à promoção das medições nos edifícios, (iii) à prevenção nos novos edifícios, (iv) à promoção da remediação em edifícios existentes e (v) à tomada de medidas de proteção específicas para trabalhadores no seu local de trabalho, vai permitir assegurar de forma multissetorial a proteção aos riscos de exposição ao radão e reduzir de forma sustentável os seus efeitos na saúde, em particular, a incidência de cancro do pulmão causado pelo radão.
