The project investigates the types of decarbonization strategies that comply with the Paris Agreement, the implementation of which requires the transformation of several sectors beyond energy, such as mobility, construction, agri-food and industry. This sectoral transformation poses challenges for the development of countries and regions, which have become particularly pressing at a time when states have to accelerate the low-carbon transition with more fragile finances and the need for economic recovery, after the pandemic crisis. . The research combines theories from socio-technical transitions and economic geography to identify the low-carbon transition strategies with the greatest transformative potential and investigate how countries and regions prepare for that transformation. The focus of this research is on the type of transition strategies that are most beneficial to the economy, that is, that have the capacity to generate change in other sectors. The project studies the possible directions of the transition and its transformative capacity, assesses the extent to which the system is preparing for this transition mode, and identifies areas that are leading or holding back the change. This research will also identify transformation patterns for emerging sustainable consumption and production modes at the corporate level, and compare them with the decarbonization strategies prescribed in the literature. The results will contribute to the discussion on the processes and ways of conducting sustainable transitions associated with different economic characteristics of the regions. The project will also contribute to the discussion on the influence of context as a facilitator or constraint of some types of decarbonization strategies, as well as identifying key dimensions on which policies can intervene in order to amplify the effect of transitions in structural transformation to national and regional level

The project aims to develop, test and implement an AgroSafeBox-System, which allows monitoring, in real time, the location, inertia and other parameters of a vehicle, as well as the physiological signals of the driver, to prevent the occurrence of the accident. This system can be attached to any vehicle, however within the scope of the project it is dedicated to tractors and quads used in agricultural and forestry operations. In these cases, the accident occurs due to the specifics of the terrain, by tipping over, causing bodily harm and material damage. The detection of behavioral changes in the driver during driving, by monitoring their physiological signs, can also prevent the accident, namely due to fatigue, stress, driving habits, among others.
The AgroSafeBox System will allow you to prevent and alert to the risk of accident and medical emergency in 3 situations:
i) in pre-driving, when assessing the driver's condition before driving, preventing the risk of an accident when the driver does not respond satisfactorily to the assessment carried out by the System;
ii) in driving, by monitoring in real time parameters of the vehicle and the task in progress which, through stability criteria based on tipping indices, will make it possible to prevent and warn of the risk of an accident. The system will also monitor various physiological signals from the driver that may contribute to the occurrence of accidents;
ii) in the event of an accident or emergency, signal and alert the competent authorities and emergency contacts, if not manually deactivated within a pre-established period. It will also allow you to alert vehicles equipped with the AgroSafeBox located close to the accident so that they can provide assistance more quickly.
The project also aims to provide a platform for the global and integrated management of the System and interaction with users, for the management and control of vehicles, among other features.

Pedagogical innovation is at the centre of Higher Education (HE) priorities, with a concern to renew its practices in order to motivate students and provide experiences adapted to the professional reality. The improvement in foreign languages (FL), especially with students who do not proceed with language training, does not discard this questioning, even because the competences in FL in the work environment are unanimously recognized as vital, being therefore, by right their inclusion in the training plans. The Project-based learning approach in an interdisciplinary and collaborative work perspective, using multimodality in communication, is a consistent asset working the various dimensions of language in French and English, in their connections with cognitive representations. JASM project aims to develop an experience of active pedagogy at the School of Education of Viseu with students of the 1st cycle in Media Studies enrolled in the various FL curricular units in order to promote the acquisition of multilingual skills and the development of a plurilingual conscience thanks to the mobilization of the various dimensions of language (aesthetic and emotional, in addition to cognitive), in a creative, collaborative and interdisciplinary work environment.
In this project, the topic of interdisciplinarity is highlighted, combining FL with digital art.
Keywords: pedagogical innovation, higher education, project-based learning approach, foreign languages and linguistic and cultural diversity, multilingual and multimodal artistic creativity, collaborative and cooperative work, aesthetics and emotion.

The importance of science education is widely highlighted in the literature. There are national and international mechanisms that evaluate education systems and the scientific competences of students(1,2,3). The purpose of the Science Olympiads is to identify intrinsic problems in the teaching-learning process and to promote science education(4,5). In this competition the pupils perform 2 tests: theoretical and experimental. The experimental exam allows operational skills (know-how) that are not evaluated, e.g. in the PISA and TIMSS studies, to be assessed.
This project is motivated by a study(5) that shows that Portuguese students present a deficit in experimental skills at the International Olympiads at the end of secondary education. Although they undergo an intensive training in the months preceding the international competitions, these students cannot develop some of the skills required. It is necessary to promote science skills from the first years of schooling. Therefore, we designed a pilot study to implement the Experimental Mini-Olympics of Science within the scope of the subject of Estudo do Meio in primary school. The objectives of the study are: to evaluate the feasibility of the Mini-Olympics in the 4th year of primary school; to determine teachers’ needs to implement science activities; to investigate the potential for the Mini-Olympics so as to evaluate the theoretical and experimental science competences of pupils at the end of primary school; to investigate the potential of the Mini-Olympics to stimulate pupils’ autonomous learning and critical thinking; to motivate teachers for new scientific challenges and to increase pupils interest in science. This research will be carried out in the 5 School Groups in the municipality of Viseu, during the 2020/21 school year and will involve principals, teachers and pupils in the 4th year of schooling. Initially an inventory of each school’s resources available for science activities will be performed. The Olympic competitions will be developed and implemented and the results will be published after the data are analysed. Recommendations will be stated in order to improve science education in primary school.
Com as conclusões serão apresentadas sugestões para o ensino das ciências no 1ºCEB.
O estudo será realizado em cooperação com a Ciência Viva, as Sociedades Portuguesas da Física, da Química e da Geologia, a Ordem dos Biólogos, a Association of Polar Early Career Scientists e a International Association for Geoethics.
To sum up, the project is unique because there are no Experimental Science Mini-Olympiads in Portugal at the end of the primary school. The IPV will be a pioneer in implementing this competition, which it intends to expand soon to a national level.

Knowledge about the health of the Portuguese population has improved significantly, however, young people require particular attention in relation to the determinants of health related to lifestyle. Scientific evidence of school health promotion, innovation and the need to refocus action on results implies the development of more appropriate interventions for the young population. In addition to empowering people and communities to act, it implies recognizing their skills and potential and facilitating their choices. Integrating a broad vision, the AppSaúde: Empower to better live project is created, with the purpose of improving the levels of health literacy of young adults in the central zone of the country. It integrates three specific areas: food, additive consumption and sexuality. The objectives are: to develop an instrument to evaluate the level of literacy of students of higher education in the areas of food, additive consumption and sexuality; monitor health determinants in these areas, and develop a web-based platform that includes a health education program and a forum for the exchange of ideas between students and professionals. The plan for dissemination of results and dissemination of knowledge is in line with the broad territorial scope and corresponds to the domains of health and technologies applied to health.
The impact of the scientific and technological knowledge generated by the project when disseminated will contribute to the regional and national valorization, in a logic of knowledge translation.
This study will be developed by a team with elements that have already carried out other projects in this area. This team, now reinforced by the involvement of 1st and 2nd cycle IPV students, is a guarantee of the success of IPV research and dissemination at national and international level.
