CE3C begins a new cycle with the election of Sara Magalhães as Scientific Coordinator and the Executive Committee for the 2025–2029 term.
The 11th Frontiers in E3, CE3C's Annual Meeting will be held from October 10–12 in the Azores, under the theme “Shifting Tides: Building a Healthy Future in an Unstable World.” This year’s meeting calls us to navigate the fragile balance between humanity and the environment through cross-disciplinary and collaborative research. In a time of deep uncertainty, we come together to forge resilient pathways for a healthier future.
A study coordinated by CE3C researcher Inês Catry, involving dozens of colonies and more than 500 white stork nests in Alentejo and Algarve, concluded that 91% of nests contained materials of human origin. Featured article in Público newspaper.
Study details all the valuable contributions spiders make to ecosystems, highlighting the importance of restoring, preserving or imitating the natural processes of these eight-legged creatures. Article signed by CE3C researcher Pedro Cardoso featured in Público newspaper.
It is vital that we look at ecosystems in an integrative approach, understand the impacts of global changes on their functioning and share the knowledge acquired with new generations of scientists, with society and decision-makers.
CE3C is building a prosperous and sustainable future based on science, education and knowledge transfer.
