NOVA WELCOMES UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE AND UNIVERSITY OF LANCASTER FOR THE WORKSHOP RESEARCH IN LATIN AMERICA<\/strong><\/p>\n

The event fostered collaborations between researchers from different backgrounds, enabling them to share knowledge and work together in projects with impact in Latin America.<\/span><\/p>\n

On April 16,\u00a0NOVA University Lisbon<\/strong>\u00a0hosted theworkshop\u00a0Research in Latin America<\/em><\/strong>, in partnership with the\u00a0University of Cambridge<\/strong>. The event, promoted by the\u00a0NOVA In the Globe\u00a0<\/strong>initiative, brought together researchers from Cambridge and NOVA, from different research fields and schools, who conduct applied research focused in Latin America, and had\u00a0Lancaster University<\/strong>\u00a0as a special guest.<\/p>\n

The event fostered collaborations between researchers from different backgrounds, enabling them to share knowledge and work together in projects with impact in Latin America.<\/p>\n

In order to stimulate the development of ideas for collaborative and multidisciplinary projects, the participants were divided into four thematic sessions:\u00a0Development Economics<\/em>,\u00a0Health Science<\/em>,\u00a0Science & Technology<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Social Sciences & Humanities<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The event was attended not only by the\u00a0Vice-Rector of NOVA, Professor\u00a0Jo\u00e3o Amaro de Matos,<\/strong>\u00a0but also by professors\u00a0Emanuel Gomes<\/strong>,\u00a0Jo\u00e3o Crespo<\/strong>,\u00a0Alexandre Abrantes<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Pedro Cardim<\/strong>, experts in the different thematic areas, and by researchers from\u00a0Cambridge\u00a0Global Challenges (CGC)<\/strong><\/em>, an initiative from the University of Cambridge that aims to promote multidisciplinary research with an impact in developing countries, as well as researchers from Lancaster University.<\/p>\n

The creation of the\u00a0NOVA Institute for Global Development (NOVA In The Globe)<\/strong>\u00a0is one of NOVA’s strategic initiatives\u00a0which, similarly to the\u00a0Cambridge\u00a0Global Challenges (CGC)<\/em><\/strong>, is\u00a0<\/em>designed to work as a centre across the institution that promotes\u00a0the collaboration and interdisciplinarity of areas and whose research is guided by sustainable development goals.<\/p>\n

The Conference\u00a0Research in Latin America<\/em>\u00a0was the third action promoted by the Institute, following the\u00a0Conference\u00a0Research in Africa<\/em><\/a>, also in partnership with the University of Cambridge, and the\u00a0Conference Research in Europe<\/a>, in partnership with the\u00a0Lancaster University<\/a>, that took place in the Rectorate of NOVA in October 2018 and January 2019, respectively.<\/p>\n
