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:Food-derived Bioactive Substances for Human Health
DESCRIPTION:UNIgreen’s JRC1 – Biochemistry & Biotechnology Webinar Series: Episode 6 \n\n\n\nTopic\n\n\n\nPhenolic Compounds and Their Gut Microbial Metabolites in Human Health: Focus on Colon Cancer Prevention \n\n\n\n“Let food be the medicine and medicine be the food.”With these words\, Hippocrates intuited a profound truth: nutrition is not merely about providing energy or building blocks\, but also about shaping health and preventing disease. Two millennia later\, the fields of metabolomics and metagenomics have made it possible to explore the intricate links between diet and physiopathology\, revealing the molecular and cellular mechanisms at work. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will focus on the protection offered by phenolic compounds against cancer to illustrate this relationship. Join us to explore these groundbreaking discoveries and discuss their implications for future biotechnological innovations. \n\n\n\nWhen?\n\n\n\nOn Tuesday\, 31 March  2026\, join us for an online event\, from 10:00 to 11:00 CEST with an expert speaker and partake in engaging discussions regarding molecular mechanisms! \n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavide Tagliazucchi\n\n\n\nAssociate Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia \n\n\n\n\n\nHis scientific career has focused on investigating the role of dietary phenolic compounds and their gut microbial metabolites in human health. In recent years\, his research has particularly focused on the preventive role of these compounds in colon cancer\, using physiologically relevant conditions and cell culture models. He is the author of more than 100 scientific publications (H-index of 42).

SUMMARY:"Climate-Friendly Parks" as urban practice
DESCRIPTION:UNIgreen’s JRC4 – Biodiversity\, Forestry\, and Agroecology Webinar Series: Episode 5 \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\nThis seminar presents a case-study of natural restoration intervention carried out in the “Marco Biagi” Park in Reggio Emilia (Italy)\, within the LIFE CityAdap3 project. The study quantifies ecosystem services provided by an urban green area enriched with multiple landscape elements\, offering a replicable model of urban restoration. Four types of NBS are analyzed: two micro-forests\, rural edges\, tree rows\, and a constructed wetland. The micro-forests were established following the Miyawaki method\, using both native and Mediterranean-adapted species. Preliminary results from two years of monitoring (2024–2025) highlight differences in biodiversity\, structure\, and ecosystem functioning among the interventions. The study also evaluates microclimatic mitigation by comparing green and built-up areas. \n\n\n\nWhen?\n\n\n\nOn Tuesday\, 31 March 2026\, join us for an online event\, from 14:00 to 15:00 CEST 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\nGiulia Santunione\n\n\n\nResearcher at University of Modena and Reggio Emilia \n\n\n\n\n\nGiulia Santunione is a researcher in Environmental and Applied Botany at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Italy). She holds a PhD in Environmental Engineering and a MSc in Biology. Her research focuses on urban vegetation\, biodiversity\, and ecosystem services\, with particular attention to urban forestry and Nature-Based Solutions for climate adaptation. She works on the assessment of plant diversity\, structural and functional traits of urban trees\, and their role in microclimatic mitigation\, carbon sequestration\, and air quality improvement. She has extensive experience in tree and shrub inventories\, biodiversity monitoring in urban and peri-urban green spaces\, and the evaluation of adaptive responses of woody species to environmental and thermal stress. She is the author of over 30 peer-reviewed scientific publications indexed in Scopus and Web of Science and collaborates closely with local administrations on applied research projects aimed at enhancing urban resilience and biodiversity under changing climatic conditions.He 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.
