CE3C envisions a safe and sustainable future where scientific knowledge fosters ecological resilience, biodiversity, and the health of ecosystems and all living beings, ensuring a thriving planet for the generations to come.
Join us on April 4, 2025, at 11h (Lisbon time) for a fascinating lecture with Stéphanie Bedhomme (Centre d'Écologie Fonctionnelle et Évolutive, CNRS), exploring the fitness effects of mutations across environments and the role of microplastics as vectors for pathogenic bacteria. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research in microbial evolution and environmental health.
The curious subterranean fauna that lurks in the depths of the Vale Telheiro cave in the Algarve has reached the summit of worldwide recognition. Today, the cave continues to be eagerly explored by CE3C researcher Ana Sofia Reboleira under the Barrocal-Cave project.
The abstract submission deadline is fast approaching: April 15, 2025! Don’t miss the chance to be part of FloraMac 2025, taking place from September 22-26, 2025, in Angra do Heroísmo, Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal. The conference will focus on the latest research in Macaronesian flora and plant macroevolution, promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing among experts in the field.
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.
