Missa de ação de graças pela vida do Pe. Roque Cabral

14.07.2021 18:45


Com a partida do Pe. Roque Cabral, no passado dia 25 de junho, partiu um dos fundadores da Universidade Católica Portuguesa. Para além de fundador da UCP, o Pe. Roque Cabral fez parte do seu crescimento e consolidação. Em 1978, foi membro da Comissão Instaladora da Católica no Porto e o braço direito do Sr. Professor Carvalho Guerra na construção do Centro Regional do Porto. Colaborou no lançamento do primeiro curso de Direito no Porto, que dirigiu entre 1985 e 1997, marcando sucessivas gerações de alunos universitários que estudaram nesta casa. A sua fé, inteligência, erudição e cultura inspiraram muitos, desde alunos a docentes e colaboradores, para os quais continuará a ser uma referência. 

É com gratidão que Centro Regional do Porto da Universidade Católica Portuguesa reconhece a obra e marca indelével que o Pe. Roque Cabral deixa à Católica no Porto.

No próximo dia 14 de julho, às 18h45, com transmissão on-line desde o Jardim do Paraíso, local de origem do nosso campus, iremos celebrar uma missa de ação de graças pela vida do Pe. Roque Cabral, para a qual gostaria de convidar a comunidade académica.

 

CBQF 30 Years Anniversary Seminar 5: Post COVID challenges in food processing and value chains

15.07.2021 17:00


In the scope of CBQF celebration of its 30 years, CBQF is organizing a Cycle of Seminars about several topics related with different areas of research. The 5th Seminar titled “Post COVID challenges in food processing and value chains" will be held on July 15th at 5:00pm.

Brief Abstract

Pandemic emergency exploded during a growing concern related to the necessity to tackle several other urgent issues for the sustainability of the planet, especially in relation to the food demand for an increasing plant population.

Lockdowns carried out in many Countries have changed some consumers’ attitude and preferences and the food industries around the world needed to put strong efforts to encounter the incoming shifts. On the other hand, many food sectors have had a tough business reduction (e.g. catering and restaurants) and the food needs is ongoing changing some business models toward food delivery in a growing interest of short chains.

In those scenarios, the research in the food technology and food engineering areas is called to contribute even more to give answers to the increasing and new needs of the food market both globally and locally, as well as the needs to consider the strategies to reduce the impact of the pandemic in the food production and supply chain.

On the other hand, the relationship between the increase of the pandemic breakouts and the climate change, witnessed by environment scientists, even considering the land demand for more food, leads our attention to a better use of the natural sources, as more sustainable food sources rather than power and water resources with lower environmental impact.

Thus, the speech will address consumers’ shift demands and following changes in the food market as well as the analysis of the possible interventions to reduce energy and natural sources impacts with new food technologies in a changing context where also the increase of the food delivery has to be considered.

Finally, the use of non-thermal technologies, as cold plasma treatments to sanitize foods themselves and food contact materials, will be reported even considering the efficacy against SARS-COV2 contaminations.

3rd Forum of Innovation in Biotechnology: “Fostering SMART Innovation Synergies”

09.10.2021 09:00


The 3rd edition of the Biotechnology Innovation Forum: Think Big in Biotechnology, under the theme “Fostering SMART Innovation Synergies” highlights the need for collaboration and innovation in multiple areas of Biotechnology in order to face the many challenges that lie ahead in a soon to be post-pandemic world.

The first panel ‘From a Healthy Economy to an Economy of Health’, will focus on discussing new strategies that promote more reliable and resilient health systems, targeting the visible difficulties that health systems surpassed in the COVID19 pandemic. The second session entitled ‘’Law, Ethics and Biotechnology in AI’ will focus on discussing the ethical dilemmas that have risen from the progress powered by artificial intelligence technology. After a brief online coffee break, the panel titled ‘Science Literacy and Disinformation in the Era of Social Media’ will discuss the spread of misinformation and wrongful notions of ‘scientific evidence and the best strategies to combat this rising issue in the era of social media. Last but not least, an executive panel will discuss ‘The Role of Open Innovation in Sustainable Development’, seeking to underline the utmost importance of open innovation as a vehicle for value creation. This year's edition will also be characterized by a unique Biotechnology Contest, “Amyris Innovation BIG Impact Award”, that focuses on biotechnological developments that have Sustainability concepts at their core, with a major impact on Society.

Estudámos na lama. Quando a água nos chegava aqui (apontando um pouco acima do tornozelo), ficávamos lá até a lição acabar. Depois íamos embora e caminhávamos através da água para casa. Estudámos e vivemos no mangue durante quatro anos (1966-1969): foi o nosso refúgio contra os bombardeamentos (Marcelino Mutna).
 
Recentemente fomos à Guiné-Bissau pesquisar as condições dos estudantes nas escolas de guerrilha do mangue. Transformámo-nos e tornámo-nos, nós próprios, os aprendizes. E a primeira lição foi saber como andar. Se andares a direito, colocando primeiro os calcanhares no chão, escorregas imediatamente e cais nos diques inundados dos campos de arroz do mangue. Ou então ficas preso na lama do mangue. Precisas de baixar o corpo, dobrar os joelhos e espetar os pés verticalmente na lama, estender os braços em frente, num movimento consciente e presente. Na escola do mangue, a aprendizagem acontece com o corpo todo.
 
A nossa conversa parte de uma pesquisa profunda sobre o sistema militante educativo desenvolvido pelo Partido Africano para a Independência da Guiné-Bissau e Cabo Verde (PAIGC) durante o processo de libertação, os onze anos de luta armada (1963-74) contra a ocupação colonial portuguesa e o interesse recorrente no imaginário da tarafe – a palavra criola para mangue. O mangue é uma arquitetura natural aérea, onde a memória ainda flutua através das redes das raízes e o respiro da maré oxigena um conhecimento de resistência numa condição de resistência pelo conhecimento. Aqui entramos num imaginário entrelaçado de várias dimensões convergentes: a epistemologia do rizoma, conceitos de educação militante e política, os ensinamentos de habitantes da comunidade Malafo, arquivos nómadas e noções agronómicas/botânicas de engenharia de mangais.
 
Leitura do Mangue é um mapa de conversas e uma jornada cinemática resultante de um empenho coletivo em falar sobre a natureza do rizoma e da sua resiliência. A escola do mangue não é uma metáfora para uma teoria de resistência, mas um organismo material para a partilha e produção de conhecimento, que evoluiu de uma luta anti-colonial e tomou o ecossistema do mangue como lugar permanente da sua luta – ligar raízes / desligar raízes, aprender / desaprender. A condição militante agropoética que é um tornar-se latente.

1st Phy2SUDOE Workshop

08.07.2021 09:00


WORKSHOP: PHYTOMANAGEMENT FOR SOIL REMEDIATION AND THE CREATION OF VALUE

Soil contamination is a widespread problem in Europe with adverse effects on biodiversity and human health. With the goal of soil restoration, Phy2SUDOE intends to promote a wider use of phytomanagement techniques by managers and owners of contaminated lands. Phytomanagement of contaminated soils is a multi-objective management strategy, based on the use of plants (trees, shrubs, herbaceous) to control the risk associated with the presence of contaminants in degraded sites, while (i) are generated products (e.g., wood, resin, essential oils, bioenergy, ecocatalysts) from harvested biomass; and (ii) the supply of ecosystem services is enhanced (e.g., C sequestration, erosion control, creation of habitats).

Phy2SUDOE project also aims to implement strategies for the conservation of endemic biodiversity typical of some contaminated sites (e.g., metallurgical flora, plant growth-promoting bacteria, etc.) due to their intrinsic and utilitarian value (e.g., biotechnological applications).

Participants will have the opportunity to get insights and learn more about phytomanagement of contaminated soils, soil restoration and policy from renowned experts in the fields.
