Objective
ToKforCEIFIADE addresses the need of technical, economic and institutional changes to stimulate strategies towards sustainable development (SD) in Portugal. Missing practical competences in Science and Technology (ST) is an important limiting factor of development.
Universities' educational curricula lack to provide the access of students to new ideas, skills and methods for dealing with complexity and multi-disciplinarity. In practice, stimuli from ST to inspire innovative projects are missing. These contextual problems are particularly difficult in the field of environmental protection and sustainable development.
The project aims to build new competencies on the interface between ecology and economy, in order to
- improve the consulting capacity of CEIFA to address the increasing demand for efficient strategies for the implementation of environmental law;
- develop SD-oriented training for professionals particularly involved in the solution of environmental problems;
- give scientific support to the start-up of new activities;
- improve international networking and encourage the participation of Portuguese researchers in international RTD-projects.
Training, international networking and consulting are therefore important aspects of the project. Main target groups of the transfer of knowledge are engineers, designers, and architects. To achieve the objectives of the project, a more experienced researcher with strong interdisciplinary background (social-economic and environmental sciences) should join our team for a period of 2 years.
His/her task is to ensure the follow-up of current projects, carry out specific training activities and stimulate international networking. For the specific know-how requested (regarding integrated resources and product management, eco-design and eco-architecture and urbanism) further guest experts (4) should stay for a period of 2 months up to 4 months in Portugal.
