This is a learning-by-projects course where theory and practice are combined to design and implement a project that explores technology to foster and potentiate music practice and musicianship across different fields of music, including composition, performance, sound design, interpretation, expression and music education. The participants will be presented with a comprehensive range of contents that gather the musical knowledge and cultural heritage of western music tradition and education, with the development of new musical formats and practices made possible by technology. Using recent technologies, interfaces and resources (hardware and software), the participants will be invited to participate in the creation of a collective musical performance where they can join their own musical backgrounds and expertise to new resources developed during the program. The performance will be presented in public concerts in the cities of Castelo Branco (Portugal) and Cáceres (Spain).

An innovative course with a highly practical approach directed to students and professionals in the field of cultural heritage and/or digital humanities to gain introductory and specialized knowledge on technologies, tools and techniques from digital humanities to analyze, understand, safeguard and enhance cultural heritage. Modern heritage studies (archaeology, history, cultural heritage management, museology, etc.) involve more and more working with digital media. Research techniques, such as remote sensing, GIS, geophysical prospection, physicochemical analysis of finds (archaeometry), combined with digital documentation applications and methods, such as 3D and 2D scanning, digital databases, big data, drone photography, etc., allow for a far more diverse way of documenting cultural heritage. On the other hand, heritage interpretation is enhanced through simple, easy-to-use digital tools, starting from digital photography, social media and internet sites and going up to more complicated apps, games and interactive representations. Modern heritage specialists can choose from a vast array of tools, selecting the ones that are most suitable for their goals or budget. The exigency for a more open, democratic and bottom-up approach to heritage understanding and interpretation has changed -forever perhaps- how archaeologists, historians, museum specialists, perceive their role and their profession.

The “One Health and Sustainability in Wildlife: From Basic to Clinic” training program is a comprehensive initiative structured over four weeks to equip participants with a deep understanding and practical skills in the intersection of environmental health, wildlife conservation, and veterinary medicine.

 

 

Ecological restoration is a relevant science and a key practical tool for biodiversity conservation, that aims to recreate, initiate, and accelerate ecosystem recovery after being altered or degraded by disturbances. There is a pledge and a growing demand for ecological restoration actions, framed in several European policies, which will require well-trained, qualified professionals. This BIP is designed to provide skills and competencies to better understand ecological and conservation complexity and to integrate analytical and operational skills in the implementation of restoration plans.

This comprehensive training program, tailored for doctoral students and novel researchers, is designed to provide participants with diverse skills set crucial for their academic and professional growth in a globalized world. The program is divided into three core modules: "Self-promotion and Communication Skills," "Project Idea Conceptualization and Transversal Contents in EU Projects," and "Sustainability in EU Projects." Here, we provide a brief overview of each module and its significance in fostering global thinkers and ethically responsible researchers. 

The main objective of this course is to contribute with approaches, techniques, and methods that support the decision-making process in management and economics. More specifically, it is intended that students obtain basic and robust training in descriptive and inferential statistics, file and data processing, preliminary analyses, and graphical representations, using appropriate software, in order to promote amore complete and coherent research in the area of Management.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a transformative force in our society entering industries like robotic,financial service, agriculture, medicine, transportation, defense. In the context of human well-being, AI alsoentered the field of healthcare, lifestyle, and elite sport with the target of prevention, diagnosis, monitoring,and prescription. With this BIP, we aim at disseminating current knowledge and future directions regarding theapplication of AI for the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle in general population, and for performanceoptimization and injury prevention in athletes. 

The objectives of the shared research and proposalexperience are to create a space for exchange andreflection on the challenges of adapting the city andarchitecture to the new climate context. Architecturein the new climate context. On this basis, and througha joint face-to-face workshop, to jointly developpossible strategies for mitigating and making positiveuse of the new rainfall regimes.

Course proposed by the University of Murcia, with the aim of training students in various aspects of the use of samples that have the potential to be collected non-invasively, such as saliva. Given the growing interest in this use in areas ranging from fundamental research to biology, animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, health, among others.

This 6ECTS BIP will give an introduction to mathematical and computational modelling techniques forapplication in developing understanding and supporting sustainable decision making in health,environmental, societal, and industrial systems. The programme is designed for students at the Masters orDoctoral level who wish to develop these skills for application in research projects.

The BIP aims to contribute to these challenges by providing students with a transdisciplinary training that involves experts and professionals from the broad sector of archaeological and human resources management, including innovative scientific and information technologies for diagnosis, preservation, conservation and restoration, and fruition in the European socio-economic context.

This BIP (Blended Intensive Programme) course is designed for students who want to learn about invasive alien species and their influence on biological diversity and ecosystem services. According to the UN panel for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Invasive alien species is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity.

It is an International course, free of charge, for students within EU Green. Admitted students will receive a travel allowance from Erasmus+ to cover travel and stay in Badajoz (Spain). Since English is the teaching language, good command of English is required. After successful completion of this course, you will gain a network of professional contacts, comprising students and teachers from all over Europe.

In today’s world, connection to ‘others’(human and more than human) is paramount. Enabling different ways of knowing,feeling, perceiving, and connecting with ‘others’, in the realm of the multispeciescommunities we live in, is consequently a key for a sustainable future.

This BIP proposes immersive andtransformative experiences in the landscape and in the hardscape, as hubs forlearning and research. Through theoretical backgrounds, immersive experiences,analysis and discussions of Real-World case studies, participants will developthe perception of their roles in embracing sustainability in their daily livesas global citizens regardless of their different backgrounds and professionalroles within society.
