RUMO Especial Advocacia: Evento de Empregabilidade

15.11.2022 10:00 — 16.11.2022 18:00


 

Rumo Advocacia

O curso de Direito proporciona uma grande diversidade de saídas profissionais - da advocacia e magistratura à consultoria, passando pela diplomacia, gestão ou ensino, sendo até possível seguir uma carreira jornalistica ou política.

No Inquérito ao Emprego e Prosseguimento de Estudos realizado em 2020, descobrimos que 9 em cada 10 licenciados em Direito pela Católica Porto tinham uma atividade profissional, sendo que 91% trabalhava na sua área de formação.

De forma a munir os próximos licenciados de ferramentas necessárias para o inicio da sua vida profissional, criamos vários sessões que abordarão o panorama atual de recrutamento na área jurídica, assim como os perfis que são procurados nos novos talentos pelas Sociedades de Advogados.

Colóquio «Olhares cruzados: construções do Outro nas Religiões do Mundo Antigo»

28.10.2022 14:30


 

Em praticamente todas as culturas do que se pode designar por mundo antigo, numa cronologia sempre sujeita a revisões, é possível reconhecer a existência de religiões enquanto sistema de comunicação com o divino e outros seres. Tendo como objetivo contribuir para um conhecimento mais profundo da religião no mundo antigo, desde a religião egípcia, passando pelas tradições religiosas da Grécia Antiga e do mundo romano, até mesmo ao cristianismo antigo, este Colóquio pretende também discutir o problema do Outro, na sua multiplicidade, e de como ele é constantemente construído discursivamente e através das práticas sociais e religiosas que, por um lado, levam a transformações profundas na própria comunidade que observa e, por outro, provocam reações naquilo que é observado.

Uma conversa sobre tomada de decisão com Cheryl Strauss Einhorn

26.10.2022 18:30


Todos nós tomamos decisões, todos os dias, a cada minuto. Mas como é que de facto tomamos as nossas grandes decisões? E como podemos torná-las melhores? Haverá ferramentas e competências que nos possam ajudar? E como podemos identificá-las, aprendê-las e praticá-las?

Dia 26 de outubro, às 18h30, junte-se a esta sessão com a Cheryl Strauss Einhorn, especialista em ciências da decisão, para discutir o seu livro "Problem Solved, A Powerful System for Making Complex Decisions With Confidence and Conviction".

Terá oportunidade de:

  • Ter uma visão geral do Método AREA - um sistema de tomada de decisões do Método AREA;
  • Explorar o papel dos erros mentais e dos preconceitos cognitivos na tomada de decisões;
  • Identificar técnicas e dicas para abrir espaço cognitivo para uma melhor tomada de decisão;
  • Examinar algumas das suas próprias experiências em matéria de tomada de decisão.

 

Biotalk - PlantFoods: plant-based dairy substitutes as a step for healthier and more sustainable food alternatives

28.10.2022 14:15


 

 

Please join us on October 28th 2022 starting at 14:15. No need to register.

Local: ESB - Auditório Comendador Arménio Miranda (piso -1, EBI -100)

Joana Cristina Barbosa is our guest speaker.

Summary

Current trends in human feeding promote a more plant-based diet, for several reasons, including ethical and environmental concerns. Thus, the demand for innovative and sustainable plant-based solutions is increasing exponentially. Such products must meet not only the nutritional requirements for a healthy diet but also be widely acceptable by the consumers in terms of flavour and texture, while being produced in an environmental-friendly manner and with the least possible industrial manipulations. Several plant bases can be used as raw materials for the manufacture of such food products, taking into consideration their specific characteristics, the most common being legumes, nuts, cereals, and tubers. This project, which was developed in collaboration with Frulact, S.A., aimed at developing and characterizing several plant-based concentrates that can be (and were, indeed) employed in the production of plant-based foods.

Webinar 3Boost: Skin Tissue Engineering

28.11.2022 17:30


 

Skin Tissue Engineering

On the 28th of November, at 5:30pm, there will be a seminar on skin tissue engineering. This seminar will address the current state-of-the-art in skin tissue engineering as well as top-notch strategies for bioprinting of skin substitutes. Current tissue engineered skin fails to meet the need for skin replacement in full-thickness wounds. Bioprinting technology allows for organization of multiple cell types into biomimetic layers.

Adapted from: Ng, W.L., et al., Skin Bioprinting: Impending Reality or Fantasy? Trends in Biotechnology, 2016. 34(9): p. 689-699.

 

The webinar will be held via Zoom, but prior registration will be required HERE
 

 

Speaker

Adam M. Jorgensen

Adam M. Jorgensen is an M.D./Ph.D. Candidate and NIH/NIAMS F30 NRSA Fellow working in the Atala lab at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine. His research focuses on 3D bioprinting skin for full-thickness wound healing. His other research pursuits include the generation of a novel spherical skin organoid for in vitro drug testing and dermatologic disease modeling, the use of both cellular and acellular hydrogels and scaffolds for wound healing applications, and biofabrication of hair follicles. He is an NIH/NIAMS F30 NRSA fellowship recipient for his thesis research on “Integration and remodeling of bioprinted skin in full-thickness wound healing.” His findings to date have resulted in two first-author publications, including one featured as the current cover of Tissue Engineering, Part A; 11 peer-reviewed abstracts with associated presentations at local, national, and international conferences; and eight research awards, including the 2019 Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society–AM Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. Outstanding Student Award and an invited participant at the 2020 Society for Investigative Dermatology Future Leaders Post-Doctoral Retreat, all within the first year of this NIAMS F30 NRSA fellowship.
