SUMMARY:Enter Study Days 2026 at AUP 
DESCRIPTION:ENTER Study Days\, “European education in transition: Digitalization\, Internationalization and Innovation” will take place in Plovdiv\,  Bulgaria from 9 to 11 March 2026. The objective is to obtain a global vision of the work done and to plan the future activities of the Alliance. \n\n\n\nThe event brought together representatives of Work Package 6 and international partners. In line with the domain of UNIgreen and the activities of WP6 the keynote speakers introduced techniques for Integrating the green and sustainability aspects in the teaching programmes (Prof. Vladislav Popov\, Agricultural University of Plovdiv) methods for flexibilization of teacher training curricula (Ms. Marjolein Wallenaar\, Aeres University of Applied Sciences Wageningen\, Netherlands)\, and teachers’ sustainability competencies (Eveliina Asikainen\, Tampere University of Applied Sciences\, Finland)\, as well as current Sustainability Practices in Higher Education (Ms. María del Pilar Casado Belmonte\, University of Almeria\, Spain). During the event\, a tree planting initiative took place. On the second day of the event\, the participants visited the private company Opora Back Yard\, whose fields are used to demonstrate good practices for students\, research activities\, and cooperation with the academic community and to conduct student internships. \n\n\n\nSubject\n\n\n\nIn a rapidly changing world\, teacher education in agricultural and environmental fields holds unique potential to shape a more sustainable and resilient future. As our world faces social\, environmental\, and digital transitions\, there is an urgent need to reimagine how we prepare educators – not only with knowledge\, but with the tools to inspire\, engage\, and reflect.  \n\n\n\nToday’s teacher training is called to respond to evolving learner needs. Programs play a key role to activate curiosity\, foster critical thinking\, and reflect European values such as inclusion\, democracy\, and sustainability. Education for sustainable development (ESD) is no longer a niche – it is a necessity. To meet this need\, curricula need to become more flexible\, personalized\, and connected to real-world challenges.Digitalization opens new possibilities for engaging learners\, while internationalization enriches perspectives and broadens horizons.  \n\n\n\nDesigning attractive study programs means aligning educational content with purpose and relevance in order to motivate a new generation of teachers to start their careers in the field of agricultural and environmental education.The ENTER Study Days 2026 offer a shared space to explore how we can build teacher education programs that are not only academically sound\, but socially meaningful: programs that empower educators to become change-agents in a world that urgently needs them. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION\n\n\n\n\nDeadline is 28 February 2026 \n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nDay 1\n\n\n9:00 – 9:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration of participants and morning coffee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9:30 – 10:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nOpening and welcome speeches \n\n\n\n\nAssoc.

SUMMARY:Aliens and Flames - When Fire Ecology Meets Invasion Ecology
DESCRIPTION:UNIgreen’s JRC4 – Biodiversity\, Forestry\, and Agroecology Webinar Series: Episode 4 \n\n\n\nThis event\, organized within the UNIgreen JRC4 Living Lab framework\, brings together researchers\, students\, and forest practitioners to discuss aliens and flames – when fire ecology meets invasion ecology. \n\n\n\nThematic\n\n\n\nIt is widely known that plant invaders normally benefit from disturbance. Fire is one of the best examples of this relationship.  \n\n\n\nThe relation between fire and invasive plants can be bi-directional when fire promotes plant invasions and these promote fire\, leading to a feedback loop that is in many cases hard to break.  \n\n\n\nHere we explore this relationship using examples mostly from Portugal and other mediterranean-type regions. Given the changes in climate\, this topic is also relevant for countries and regions where fire occurrence is expected to increase in the future.  \n\n\n\nWhen?\n\n\n\nOn Tuesday\, 24 February\, 2026\, join us for an online event\, from 14:00 to 15:00 CET with expert speaker and engaging discussions. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION\n\n\n\n\nWho should join?\n\n\n\nResearchers\, students\, forest managers\, and anyone curious about forest ecology and sustainability. \n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoaquim Sande Silva\n\n\n\nProfessor at Polytechnic University of Coimbra \n\n\n\n\n\nJoaquim Sande Silva holds a BSc and a PhD in Forestry from the University of Lisbon\, and a Master’s degree in Environment and Renewable Resources from the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM)\, Greece.  \n\n\n\nHe is Professor at the Polytechnic University of Coimbra\, Portugal\, where he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in fire ecology and fire management. He has been a Visiting Professor at the University of Bari\, Italy (2019\, 2022\, and 2025).  \n\n\n\nHe has led or currently leads six nationally funded research projects and has authored more than 50 peer-reviewed articles indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases\, primarily in forest ecology\, invasion ecology\, and fire ecology. In addition\, he has authored over 190 non-indexed publications\, including conference proceedings\, book chapters\, and technical reports\, and has served as editor of six books. He has served on six national scientific expert panels on forest fires\, appointed by the Portuguese Government and the Portuguese Parliament. He is currently a member of the Board of Directors of the environmental NGO League for the Protection of Nature (LPN) and a member of the Portuguese Society for Forest Science.

SUMMARY:Training Workshop for Mobility Officers 
DESCRIPTION:When: 3 February 2026 \n\n\n\nWhere: Polytechnic University of Coimbra (Portugal) \n\n\n\nTarget: UNIgreen staff mobility members \n\n\n\nRegistration Deadline: Closed \n\n\n\nSubject \n\n\n\nThis activity\, organised by Working Package 4 – Mobility of the UNIgreen Alliance\, is intended to provide a privileged space for collaboration and knowledge transfer\, aimed at national and international Relations (IR) professionals who are UNIgreen partners. It recognises their fundamental role in the operationalisation of European Alliances\, in the promotion of academic mobility and in strengthening the sense of belonging to a common European Education Area. \n\n\n\nThe workshop seeks to encourage a shared vision\, foster greater integration within the European context and align practices with the strategic priorities that guide mobility and international cooperation. It is expected that this initiative will contribute to strengthening the network of contacts among the participating institutions and to consolidating a cohesive and collaborative community. \n\n\n\nIn addition to sessions led by members of the aforementioned WP\, representing the eight European partner institutions\, two workshops are scheduled featuring the EUTOPIA Alliance – NOVA University Lisbon. This presentation will focus on its experience in the field of academic mobility\, highlighting how the EUTOPIA Alliance has contributed to increasing and diversifying mobility opportunities\, as well as to strengthening the sense of belonging to a common European space\, not only among students but also among academic staff\, researchers and technical and administrative staff. \n\n\n\nThe second workshop\, delivered by the University of Minho through its ARQUS Alliance\, will focus on the Arqus on the Move initiative\, highlighting its experience in enhancing mobility and reinforcing the sense of belonging to a common European space. \n\n\n\nWe believe that\, through the sharing of these different paths\, implemented strategies and good practices\, a space for joint reflection will be created on the challenges and opportunities associated with mobility within the context of European Alliances. This moment of exchange is also intended to highlight the strategic role of International Relations officers as key agents in the implementation of European mobility policies\, in facilitating interinstitutional cooperation and in building strong and sustainable networks. \n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\n\n\n9:00 – 9:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome and Registration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9:30 – 11:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nPresentations/Workshops \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 – 11:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nCoffee-Break \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:30 – 13:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nPresentations/Workshops \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13:00 – 14:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nLunch Break \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14:00 – 17:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nPresentations \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n20:00 – 21:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nRector’s Cultural programme
