ULisboa is holding the 5th edition of the project and applications are open from 15 November to 15 January Under the motto \u2018Ocean without Plastics\u2019, the initiative aims to creatively develop innovative technological solutions to characterise and mitigate the pollution of the oceans by plastics, guaranteeing biodiversity and the sustainable reuse of these materials in applications with economic value.<\/strong><\/div>\n

University of Lisbon Interdisciplinary Studies on Sustainable Environment and Seas<\/span><\/b>\u00a0aims to raise awareness among students and society, favouring a deeper understanding of issues related to the oceans.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The initiative is aimed at university students who are looking to take part in an interdisciplinary and international project, who want to deepen their knowledge of the ocean and its importance for the sustainability of the planet, and who are looking to explore different career prospects.\u00a0It will take place over several weeks, with an online component between January and April 2025, and a face-to-face component in Lisbon from 7 to 25 July 2025.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The selected students will take part in an international team and, supported by researchers and experts, will be challenged\u00a0to design the most innovative solution to the problems facing the oceans in a collaborative environment<\/strong>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The winning team in the last edition designed a scientific project that precisely addressed the three main objectives of the challenge. Firstly, they identified the technological resources and communication strategies essential for mapping the area affected by the incident described in the challenge. Next, they analysed the biodiversity of the impacted region, presenting a list of species at high risk and developing a detailed monitoring plan to assess the impacts over time. Finally, they proposed two innovative solutions to reduce plastic pollution in the oceans.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ulisses is a\u00a0Blended Intensive Programme (BIP)<\/strong>\u00a0funded under Erasmus+ KA131.<\/span>\u00a0It consists of an intensive learning programme, offered by three partner institutions, combining virtual learning activities with physical mobility activities.<\/span>\u00a0ULisboa<\/a>\u00a0will be the receiving institution, where the learning activities during the physical mobility will occur.\u00a0<\/span>Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya<\/span><\/a>\u202f and\u202f<\/span>Technische Universit\u00e4t Darmstadt<\/a>\u202fare partner institutions, collaborating in the teaching and sending students in mobility. Notwithstanding, students from other institutions are welcome to apply.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
