O Global-MINDS integra conhecimentos da Psicologia Social e Cultural, oferecendo ensino internacional de alta qualidade, em inglês, sobre temas como migração, diversidade e inclusão, alinhados com os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável da ONU. O programa tem como objetivo dotar os estudantes de conhecimento psicológico, sensibilidade cultural e excelência em investigação para enfrentarem desafios sociais complexos a nível global. A ligação entre teoria e prática é garantida através da dissertação de mestrado e do estágio.    O programa conjunto, totalmente acreditado, combina as áreas de Psicologia Social e Cultural de quatro programas nacionais de Mestrado, reunindo a experiência de todos os parceiros e proporcionando diversidade através de três percursos de mobilidade, um dos quais é um novo percurso com foco na saúde dos migrantes. O curso tem a duração de dois anos (120 ECTS). No primeiro semestre, os estudantes iniciam os seus estudos no Iscte – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (Portugal) ou na SWPS University (Varsóvia, Polónia). No segundo semestre, transitam para a University of Limerick (Irlanda) ou para a University of Oslo (Noruega), frequentando ainda uma escola de verão conjunta.  No segundo ano, os estudantes realizam a dissertação de mestrado e um estágio numa ONG, organização ou agência intergovernamental.    Está disponível um total de 100 bolsas, das quais 40 são bolsas integrais e 60 correspondem a isenções das propinas. A ampla rede global de 30 parceiros associados (académicos e não académicos), bem como diversas outras, facilita a investigação internacional da dissertação e proporciona oportunidades de estágio. 

Lisboa e Porto têm recebido fluxos de migrantes do Norte e Sul Global, de dentro e de fora da Europa. Com uma abordagem etnográfica e recorte nos pequenos comerciantes migrantes nos Anjos/Lisboa e Bonfim/Porto, pretende-se perceber as trajetórias migratórias e modos de colocação desses sujeitos no espaço urbano português, considerando as políticas urbanas e de migração. O intuito é gerar conhecimento para orientar políticas públicas integradas considerando o défice demográfico no país.    Orientação: Daniel Malet Calvo e Graça Índias Cordeiro      

The research project focused on the optimization of healthcare processes using Business Process Management (BPM) techniques. The primary objective was to investigate how BPM methodologies could be applied to improve the efficiency, quality, and patient outcomes within healthcare organizations. By analyzing existing healthcare processes, identifying bottlenecks, and studying industry best practices, the project aimed to identify areas where BPM could be implemented to streamline workflows, reduce redundancies, and enhance collaboration among healthcare professionals. The research explored process modeling, automation, and continuous improvement strategies that could be applied to healthcare processes. The project aimed to bridge the gap between manual and fragmented processes and create a structured and standardized approach to healthcare delivery. The research aimed to contribute to a deeper understanding of the potential benefits, challenges, and considerations associated with implementing BPM in the healthcare sector and provide insights to healthcare organizations seeking to optimize their processes, improve patient care, and achieve operational excellence.

POIESIS project brings together seven partners from across Europe, who will study the impact of research integrity issues and societal engagement practices on trust in science. As societal dependence on sound scientific research and responsible innovation has become increasingly visible, concerns about public trust and mistrust in science have simultaneously been mounting. This highlights the crucial importance of the cultural authority of science. The debate about societal trust in science is characterised by three intuitively appealing assumptions: - First, that trust depends on scientists’ capacity to demonstrate high standards of research integrity and ethics, and that breaches of research integrity will lead to mistrust; - Second, that citizens’ and civil society’s involvement in co-creating research agendas and content makes research more relevant and responsive to society and consequently strengthens trust; - Third, that institutions can foster integrity and societal integration by enabling and supporting researchers to act responsibly.  

International development involves ideologies and activities ostensibly directed towards the improvement of well-being of populations in the Global South. Mainstream development interventions emphasize forward-looking ideas of progress and advocate for novelty. In so doing, however, the sector is often myopic, as evidenced by countless unintended consequences that stretch beyond interventions’ official life cycle. Whether deemed as success or failure, such interventions leave behind a long trail of tangible and intangible traces. Project AfDevLives explores how development interventions’ representational and material remains are experienced, utilized, and re-appropriated by local actors over time, and how such active immanence of the past affects people’s life-worlds. It weaves together three temporal gazes: prospective (development’s blueprints); retrospective (sediments of the past, shorthanded as interventions’ ‘afterlives’); and present-time lived experience. Consciously de-centering formal development discourse and temporalities, the project develops and applies a phenomenological framework oriented around the embodied interweaving of people, objects, and space. Using an interdisciplinary approach centered on social anthropology, research will be conducted in Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique, neighbouring Eastern African countries that are among the highest recipients of development aid and whose past and present hold both continuities and ruptures. The project will unfold via an iterative process involving four complementary work packages: Movement, Image, Storytelling, and Synthesis. Working across work packages, countries, and case studies, the project will pursue three categories of objectives: conceptual (methodological toolkit), empirical (based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork), and practical (aimed at the development sector, local heirs of interventions, and the public at large). The project will result in a robust set of outputs.
