Are you passionate about sustainability and soil health, digital learning, and shaping the next generation of soil education? Contribute with your creativity and communication skills to help reconnect people with the soil beneath their feet. In this challenge, you’ll explore key soil-related topics and develop engaging strategies or tools to raise awareness, spark curiosity, and make soil (health) relevant to younger audiences. Join the CURIOSOIL project in bringing innovative digital educational resources for learners like you, helping ensure they are inspiring, clear, and impactful.

Transcript of Records is an official document issued by your home university. It specifies the name of the institution, the academic programme you are enrolled in, the list of courses taken up until the current period, the exams or tests you passed, the grades and the credits you earned.

This Micro-module aims to contribute to reinforce the forest agents’ skills, by offering technical-scientific perspectives that reinforce the acknowledgement of the value of the biodiversity of insects and other invertebrates to a sustainable forest management, as well as skills to:

a) identify relevant forest biodiversity indicators

b) identify potential threats to insect and other invertebrate biodiversity

c) evaluate the potential and applicability of management options that support the conservation of insect and other invertebrate biodiversity, associated with forest production.

CV (Curriculum Vitae) is a document that summarizes your educational and professional history. It must provide a detailed overview of your academic and work experience, skills, achievements, and qualifications.

Energy and sustainability

Currently, the coating of materials, from the perspective of their functionalization and modification of physical and chemical properties, has been an important technological resource in the formation of added value of a product. Similarly, research into thin films has grown significantly, aiming to create new materials/structures for potential applications in several fields. All these concepts are based on the Micro and Nanostructured of thin films, using different techniques to obtain them. The proposed training (and innovative at national level) aims precisely to contribute to the qualification of professionals, at a scientific and technological level, in this area of activity.

Motivation letter is a personal statement and it might include a brief introduction of yourself, explanation why are you interested in the learning opportunity you are applying to, any relevant experience or skills that you have, your goals and how this opportunity will help you achieve them, This document should not be more than 400 words.

This course will allow to train and capacitate adult graduates who perform or intend to perform science and technology management functions in companies 

and entities of the national scientific and technological system.

Technology Transfer and Business Creation

Designed for students from all academic backgrounds, the course equips participants with practical skills in data manipulation, visualization, and introductory machine learning using Python. No prior experience in programming is required, although basic computer literacy is expected. By the end of the course, participants will be able to write Python programs, work with real datasets, and create compelling visualizations using popular libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib.

The ongoing digital transformation is changing the way companies work and evolve. The improvement in the automatic acquisition of data from company operations, has made automated data processing techniques more relevant for processing large volumes of information. With this micro-module you'll learn the most frequent techniques of machine learning and good practices in the design of solutions, measurement of their performance, and understanding of their potential and limitations.

Applied Machine Learning

In a society where information circulates quickly and public opinion is easily influenced by different media, trust in information sources and democracy can be compromised. It is, therefore, important to identify strategies of manipulation, patterns of disinformation on different platforms and misleading content.

The use of Clean Rooms in various areas of industry (optoelectronics, medical, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, hospital products, etc.) has become common practice, some even might definite it as necessary (even due to legal imperatives). In the field of research, it is completely fundamental today. Trying to fill a gap in the training of qualified professionals to work in the controlled environment of Clean Rooms, the proposed Micro-module fits into an offer aimed at multiple areas of activity, intending to provide solid knowledge (both theoretical and essentially practical) of increasingly relevant utility.

Cleanroom work techniques

In this micro-module, you are challenged to design an educational escape room that teaches the core principles of Challenge-Based Learning (CBL): Engage, Investigate, and Act. The escape room will serve as a hands-on tool for educators seeking to implement CBL effectively in their own classrooms.
