CVCC01 - ECTS The participation of young graduates in research and innovation projects within research units has an undeniable formative value and works as an opportunity to acquire relevant skills for future professional careers. In the last 2 years, a new curriculum management tool has taken on a fundamental role with regard to the processes for evaluating funding awarded by the largest Portuguese financial support agency, the Foundation for Science and Technology. Framed within the concept of scientific citizenship (CiênciaID), CiênciaVitae, the national science curriculum management system, is a central element in the ecosystem of information management on scientific and technological activity, as well as a support tool for the modernization of administrative processes supported by a CV. The development of the platform respects the best practices and is based on the PTCRIS standard (https://ptcris.pt/sobre-o-ptcris/apresentacao/), being integrated with various systems and national and international identifiers. Additionally, since the RCAAP (Open Access Scientific Repositories of Portugal) is an integral part of the science management ecosystem, the importance of its integration with the other systems that make up the same ecosystem, namely the CiênciaVitae, should be mentioned.

This training aims to make young graduates aware of a highly relevant curricular tool for the national scientific system, providing them with additional skills that are important for the development of their professional career. The main objective of this curricular unit is that participants can create their curriculum in the CiênciaVitae format and, with the guidelines provided, can compete for individual competitions for doctoral scholarships at FCT or others, successfully, realizing how the transmission of the CV is done on the platform. In addition, the import of databases such as SCOPUS or ORCID and the availability of publications in sigarra will be addressed to ensure open access to them.

CTT_FC1 - ECTS

DSEPASE01 - ECTS This course shall address the existing and the needed policies that will allow a successful reaching the goal of a fully decarbonised Buildings Sector in Portugal by 2050. The course will adress the technical problems and challenges, both economic and social, to make participants fully aware of all the general context, as well as the possible paths for a solution, including a discussion about the advanatges and disadvantages of each solution.

The focus will rest on the renovation of existing buildings, the major challenge to reach the full decarbonization of the Buildings sector by 2050.

Finally, participants shall be motivated to think about and discuss their own ideas about the best paths for sustainable solutions, including technical, financial and social instruments, as well as improved public policies that will need to be implemented within a relatively short period of time. Participants shall be encouraged to become important actors in this great challenge, by developing new construction paradigms that will need to be in place within the next 2-3 decades.
