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

SUMMARY:Climate Resilience in Urban Forest
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce an upcoming hybrid seminar  on “Climate Resilience in Urban Forest: Biological responses\, Growth dynamics and Adaptive strategies” with Prof. Ana Clara Cobas (CONICET – UNNOBA\, Argentina) hosted at Padiglione Besta\, Reggio Emilia (Room H0.3). \n\n\n\nTopic\n\n\n\nClimate Resilience in Urban Forest \n\n\n\nStay tuned: after the event\, we will share the seminar on UNIgreen YouTube Channel. \n\n\n\nWhen and Where?\n\n\n\nThe seminar will take place on 18 February 2026 at 09:00 as an hybrid event.  \n\n\n\n\nStreamed Link\n\n\n\n\nSubject\n\n\n\nUrban forests are living laboratories. They integrate ecophysiology\, stress biology\, carbon allocation patterns\, and long-term adaptive strategies under increasingly variable climatic regimes. Understanding their resilience mechanisms is no longer optional\, it is foundational for sustainable urban planning and climate mitigation policies. \n\n\n\nBe part of the conversation.The seminar will analyse the causes\, consequences and policy responses related to the gender pay gap\, with an emphasis on recent developments within the European Union. The seminar will provide a comprehensive explanation of how the gender pay gap is measured and interpreted\, distinguishing between the unadjusted pay gap based on overall earnings differences and the adjusted gap\, which accounts for variables such as education\, sector of employment and working hours. \n\n\n\nWho\n\n\n\nFor students: an opportunity to explore how plant biology\, environmental stress physiology\, and ecosystem science translate into real-world impact.For researchers: a space to discuss growth modelling\, plasticity\, and adaptive responses in urban forest systems within a global change framework

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.
