Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon joins the new Institute for Sustainable Development
CIÊNCIAS is part of the consortium that, under a memorandum of understanding signed on April 9 at the Palácio dos Marqueses de Pombal in Oeiras, will lead to the creation of the future Institute for Sustainable Development—an innovative initiative that brings together the Oeiras City Council, several schools and the Rectorate of the University of Lisbon itself (FCUL, ISEG, IST, ISA), as well as the intermunicipal company TRATOLIXO.
Study carried out within the scope of the Master's Degree in Energy and Environmental Engineering at CIÊNCIAS, focusing on:
"Evaluation of Energy Sufficiency Measures: User Perception and Experimental Validation"
We all see umbrellas that are improperly abandoned, everywhere, as soon as autumn-winter begins!
Have you ever stopped to question whether there is a better solution to avoid wasting these resources?
The Faculty of Sciences of ULisboa has 2 (two) collection points available, where you can leave the damaged umbrellas that you find on your way.
Later the Eco-Social Nucleus and AEFCL will hand them over to R-Coat so that they can work their magic and reuse these resources to make new products such as raincoats and hats!
You can find these collection points in the C5 building, in front of the HortaFCUL stand and also at the entrance of the C6 building, next to the globe!
FCUL's CiclOficina helps bike users repair their bikes for free and create a culture of using bicycles as urban transport. CiclOficina is for everyone and aims to involve bicycle users in their repair, thus allowing progressive learning.
Every Wednesday from 18:00 to 20:00 in Building C3, floor 1, Science ULisboa.
