Project List

O objetivo estratégico do projeto é reduzir o abandono e promover o sucessoacadémico dos estudantes no 1.º ano, pela primeira vez no 1.º ciclo de estudos,assegurando a regularidade de iniciativas neste âmbito. A candidatura surge na continuação do projeto In_Iscte, a decorrer, ajustando-se agora às ambições do programa Impulso Mais Digital. Identificam-se quatro objetivos específicos: 1. Melhorar a integração e o sucesso dos novos estudantes através de programas dementoria e tutoria;2. Promover a partilha e disseminação de práticas de inovação pedagógica dentro e fora da sala de aula, renovando e diversificando metodologias e instrumentostecnológicos;3. Desenvolver mecanismos de identificação, comunicação e acompanhamento de estudantes em risco;4. Reforçar as competências de autoaprendizagem e de trabalho em equipa. Como objetivo transversal, refira-se o alargamento da base social dos estudantes doensino superior. Neste sentido, tendo como foco os estudantes inscritos no 1.º ano pela primeira vez, será dada especial atenção a grupos tradicionalmente sub-representados ou com dificuldades identificadas na integração no ensino superior: estudantes de contingentes prioritários/especiais - com enfase aos estudantes com deficiência; estudantes beneficiários da ação social escolar; estudantes bolseiros provenientes de países PALOP; estudantes deslocados da sua residência habitual por motivos de estudo; trabalhadores-estudantes (Almeida et al, 2003; Machado et al. 2003; Martins, Mauritti e Costa, 2005 e 2008; Martins, 2015; Martins, Carvalho, Ávila & Costa, 2017; Martins, 2020; Martins e Ramos, 2020; Martins, Mauritti & Machado, 2023; Matias et al. 2023; Mauritti et al. 2023; Mauritti, Pintassilgo et al. 2023; SEAQ-UQ-Iscte, 2023). A definição dos objetivos articula-se com as áreas prioritárias de intervenção identificadas no aviso de abertura. Na prossecução destes objetivos, desenvolver-se-ão quatro eixos de atividades principais: 1) um programa de mentorias e ...

The green energy transition is being promoted around the world as key to tackle climate change. However, as it is increasingly fostered and associated measures implemented, such as the deployment of renewable energy infrastructures (REI), contestation also has risen. Social sciences’ research has attempted to analyze and understand this relevant social issue in the last decades and proposed several and distinct conceptual frameworks for that. The NIMBY (Not in my backyard) framework has been one of the most widespread and well-known frameworks for explaining opposition specifically to REI but is being increasingly questioned by more recent frameworks that emphasize instead the roles of issues of (in)justice in REI related decision-making processes and policies and their impact on negative responses to these infrastructures. However, the proliferation of conceptual frameworks on energy justice and related issues regarding REI has been immense in recent years and it is difficult to, from a practical and empirical perspective, understand how exactly their relevant insights and contributions can be applied to particular REI projects and decision-making. This project aims to contribute to that by conducting a systematic academic and grey literature review of the most recent literature on community responses to renewable energy and associated infrastructures. For this, solar energy and associated infrastructures will be particularly focused, as an expanding and crucial technology within the renewable energy transition, namely in countries like Portugal and Switzerland. Based on this literature review we will then propose an integrated framework to be discussed and validated with key experts and stakeholders in the area. Based on these two previous tasks, the end goal of this project is to deliver a handbook with guidelines for policymakers, energy companies and local communities, on best practices for the successful deployment of REI, particularly solar.

The WISE-AI project aims to address the low participation of women in AI sciences and support the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite the increasing importance of AI in various fields, women remain underrepresented in this sector. By combining training and educational play, the project seeks to empower young women in entrepreneurship and AI skills, bridging the gender gap and promoting inclusion and equality. The project will leverage innovative educational methods, using a game-based approach to make learning engaging and effective.

The Project Legislation, Innovation and Society (LEXIS) is led by Pierre Noreau and coordinated by Yan Sénéchal. Funded by a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (2024-2029), LEXIS is a research partnership bringing together 61 coinvestigators and 28 collaborators working at 34 Canadian and international universities, as well as 37 partners from academic, non-profit, and institutional sectors. LEXIS focuses on the study of citizen participation in law-making. The project aims to analyse the processes that lead to the emergence of topics under deliberation and their initiation, the procedures that foster the mobilization and participation of those involved, and the mechanisms that allow for the aggregation of the results of these deliberations and ensure their impact. LEXIS will lead to the modelling of deliberative systems that promote citizen participation in legislation and the mapping of the conditions for their institutionalization.

The project of Evaluation and Monitoring of the implementation of the JAM! (Jovens + Artes = Mudança!) it is an evaluation and monitoring process that takes place in two areas Parallel. On the one hand, the project and its various activities are monitored activities, seeking to give feedback on its operation, in real time, so that it can be considered and some of the recommendations therefrom can be incorporated, in the various phases of the project, throughout the its execution.
