Economies and societies are seen as embedded parts of the biosphere (FOOD 2030 Future-Proofing our Food systems through Research and Innovation https://fit4food2030.eu/ ); we can addthat science is the element that brings all three together.This moves discussions away from the current sectoral approach - where social, economic, andecological development are seen as separate parts - towards an economy serving society in the safespace of the planet. Using this model we can argue that all the sustainable development goals aredirectly or indirectly connected to sustainable and healthy food.The main objective is to improve curricula to meet student learning needs in line with labour marketrequirements, in economic, biological and agricultural fields.The target group will be represented by professors, researchers and students (undergraduatestudents, master and doctoral students) from partner institutions.The specific objectives are:-to improve the skills of teachers and researchers from partners institutions through the trainingsessions that will take place in the project.- to outline a group of young students with international experience to work as a future specialist inthe fields of organic farming and eco-entrepreneurship.- to allow a larger group of students from host countries to benefit from the expertise of teachers frompartner countries.- to encourage universities to improve the content of masters programs on the basis of informationgathered in exchanges of good practices between the involved partners. One of the outputs of theproject is represented specifically by a protocol that aims to harmonize the curricula offered tostudents within the education providers.The transnational dimension is essential in achieving this partnership: each partner will bring into theproject its expertise and the regional particularities (from the originate partners countries) that arevery important in the field. The level of organic farming development, the impact on society and the...

The NOWALL project – headed by CEI-Iscte researcher Luís Nuno Rodrigues – is being developed in partnership with the Young Educators Europe (Portugal, Germany and Helsinki), the Willy Brandt Foundation (Germany), CAAT Projects (Netherlands) and the University of Helsinki (Finland), and with the support of the European Commission – Europe for Citizens programme. The project aims to promote a better understanding of European history and its diversity, focusing on the contribution of European actors to the fall of the Wall. From September 2019 to October 2020 the project partners will promote academic conferences, debates, workshops, non-formal education activities and public exhibitions in Portugal, Germany, Netherlands and Finland with diversified audiences – secondary school and university students, teachers, activists, researchers and the public in general. We will also disseminate information through a website and social media to reach a wider audience on the topics of the project.

The FF-IPM project targets three highly polyphagous fruit fly (FF) species (Tephritidae) that cause devastating losses in the fresh fruit producing industry, the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata), a serious emerging pest in northern temperate areas of Europe, the Oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) and the peach fruit fly (B. zonata) two major new (invasive) pests, which pose an imminent threat to European horticulture. The project aims to introduce in-silico supported prevention, detection and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches for both new and emerging FF, based on spatial modelling across a wide range of spatial levels, novel decision support systems, and new knowledge regarding biological traits of the target species, fruit trading and socioeconomics. FF-IPM introduces a fundamental paradigm shift in IPM towards “OFF-Season” management of FF by targeting the overwintering generation when population undergoes significant bottlenecks, preventing, this way, population growth later in season. “ON-Season” control approaches will be generated for different spatial scales considering both existing and developed by FF-IPM tools and services. Innovative prevention tools to track FF infested fruit (e-Nose) and rapidly identify intercepted specimens (Rapid-Molecular-Pest-ID tools) in imported commodities and at processing industries will be produced. Species specific e-trapping systems for the three-target FF will be advanced and employed by novel detection strategies based on spatial modelling. Both “ON and OFF-Season” IPM approaches and detection strategies will be validated in selected locations in eight different countries. FF-IPM generated data on FF response under stress conditions, overwintering dynamics, establishment and dispersion patterns of low population densities combined with advanced spatial population modeling are expected to contribute towards understanding drivers of emerging and new pests under climate change scenarios.

This project aims to identify the models, practices, and mechanisms of IT governance that higher education institutions have adopted and implemented, as well as the effectiveness of each of these mechanisms. The research is conducted in countries such as Brazil, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, among others, to compare the mechanisms used in universities in each country, whether public or private. The results of this project will contribute to universities reflecting on their adopted IT governance mechanisms in terms of structures, processes, and relationship mechanisms. Additionally, the identification of different types of tools used by universities to support IT governance will be addressed.
