- Weaving knowledge together for healthy and resilient aquatic socio-ecosystems: towards a methodological and modelling framework (WaterWeave), AP.BTA.R
Abstract
Due to their complex and interconnected nature and the multiple demands placed on them by human activities, trade-offs may arise in the provision of ecosystem services by aquatic ecosystems and sometimes these services may not meet their demand. These tensions are exacerbated by climate changes and higher occurrence of extreme events but also by increasing water demand and land use change…
- Peptide Biodiversity: Advancing Human Health Through Nature's Pharmacological Treasures, AP.BTA.R
Abstract
The Biodiversity2Drugs European Program aims to identify peptides in species from Terrestrial biodiversity organisms, an important class of natural products, unexplored for discovering nature's hits/leads, aiming for pharmacological prototypes, that could impact the pharmaceutical section in European Community and global competitiveness, through a sustainable and ecologically development…
- From local to global: transdisciplinary processes to transform conflicts in the coastal zone, AP.BTA.R
Abstract
The coastal zone is a territory where socio-environmental conflicts manifest themselves locally and reflect deep struggles over property, rights, distribution and sharing of nature's benefits, often threatening the survival of coastal communities. In this way, aligning research and local government actions with global challenges for sustainable development and the fight against climate an…

- Chlorolobion lunulatum and Rhabdoderma lineare: investigating protein and lipid composition, and feasibility of production with focus on food industry, AP.BIOTA.PIPE
Abstract
Microalgae and cyanobacteria exhibit economic and biotechnological relevance, being widely commercialized as functional food and nutritional supplement for humans and animals. This proposal implies on investigation of this biotechnological potential considering a strain of green microalgae - Chlorolobion lunulatum, and a strain of cyanobacteria - Rhabdoderma lineare. We justified the choi…

Faced with the evolution of biological inputs, the company was created to serve the agricultural sector with knowledge, technology and pioneering spirit, in order to bring to the field solutio…
- Platform for the management and coverage path planning optimization for unmanned release of biological pest control agents, AP.BIOTA.PIPE
Abstract
Agricultural pests and diseases can cause financial losses in the millions per year and threaten food security. Biological Control (BC) is a natural phenomenon to mitigate a certain pest population, making it less abundant and harmful. The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) as a BC support platform is promising due to the low operating cost, high efficiency and wide range of applicatio…
