CE3C

Production of Science Communication Activities

Objectives: To introduce participants to the details of communicating science to non-specialized audiences, including, but not exclusive to, public and private stakeholders, students and teachers, and media professionals. The course will particularly address the design, organisation, implementation and impact assessment of public engagement activities such as exhibitions, science festivals or games. At the end of the course, students should be able to develop and produce small-budget events or products to communicate scientific results and ideas.

Natural History Collections and Biodiversity

Natural history museums are privileged spaces for seminal research on different subjects of biological sciences such as biodiversity, evolution, ecology, biogeography and taxonomy. This crucial role is due to the fact that they represent biological diversity repositories becoming huge libraries of information on Earth living organisms. The long-term sampling through various decades renders tonatural history collections an historic perspective that allows reconstructing a “memory”, sometimes secular, of natural patterns and processes.

Bioinformatics analysis of biological sequences

There are thousands of totally sequenced genomes freely available in the Internet. The number keeps on growing as at least one genome sequence is released every day. Large-scale sequencing requires bioinformatics analysis, whose algorithms will be the aim of this course, and that underlie the generation of reliable databases. Algorithms are also the basis of reliable sequence databases generation. An intelligent analysis of these databases allows the extraction of information and scientific knowledge.

XIV Encontro Nacional de Biologia Evolutiva

O Encontro Nacional de Biologia Evolutiva tem como objetivo principal juntar Biólogos Evolutivos a trabalhar em Portugal e no estrangeiro, de modo a promover coesão e excelência científica. Este encontro proporciona a cientistas de todos os graus académicos (de estudantes de mestrado a investigadores principais) a oportunidade de apresentarem o seu trabalho e discuti-lo com o resto da comunidade científica, promovendo assim a criação de novas ideias e colaborações.

Frontiers in E3: cE3c Annual Meeting

In this annual event, cE3c researchers gather together to present and discuss their latest projects, scientific results and outreach initiatives, and explore novel ideas.

The two-day programme will include plenary conferences, oral presentations, poster sessions and thematic workshops. Although it is an event reserved to the cE3c community, the plenary conferences will be open to the public. 

Introduction to Big Data - knowledge extraction from biological databases

During recent decades we have witnessed a great development of bioinformatics that has led to the accumulation of a huge amount of biological information. The Bioinformatics and computational Biology aim at dealing with this large volume of data so that biological information can be extracted, generating scientific knowledge. Handling and mining big data is currently a subject of great interest and importance.
