I studied at the University of Reading for three years. My degree was in History and Politics. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Reading is in Berkshire which is about a thirty minute train ride from London Paddington. The University itself has some significant history attached to it. It was formerly part of Oxford University’s Christ Church College but was granted independence to produce its own degrees by a Royal Charter from King George V. It was also the first university to appoint a woman as a chair at an English University level-institution in 1912. The University also boasts having the renowned Twentieth Century composer Gustav Holst as a Professor of music. Reading University can also proclaim one of the […]

No dia 20 assinala-se o Dia Mundial de Combate ao Bullying. A PSP lançar uma “operação” orientada para a prevenção deste tipo de crimes junto dos alunos do ensino obrigatório. O bullying nas escolas portuguesas motivou mais de cinco denúncias por dia no ano lectivo de 2017/2018, segundo dados da PSP. A polícia recebeu 1898 queixas de bullying ocorridas em ambiente escolar: 1285 diziam respeito a ofensas corporais e as restantes 613 eram relativas a injúrias e ameaças, mas a PSP estima que haja muitos mais casos não denunciados. Os números foram avançados à agência Lusa pelo comissário João Moura, do gabinete de imprensa da Direcção Nacional da PSP, que acredita que os casos reais de injúrias e ameaças sejam […]

Escritora e activista polaca receberá o prémio relativo ao ano de 2018, o dramaturgo austríaco é o vencedor de 2019. Olga Tokarczuk é a 15.ª mulher a receber o prémio que, contrariando algumas expectativas, a Academia Sueca decidiu entregar a dois autores europeus. A escritora polaca Olga Tokarczuk (n. 1962) e o escritor, dramaturgo e argumentista austríaco Peter Handke (n. 1942) são os dois novos Nobel da Literatura, respectivamente de 2018 e 2019.

I had the pleasure of learning and acquiring knowledge from the best professors at this university. The University of Lodz was established in 1945 and has long been one of the biggest and most popular universities in Poland. High level of education, learning foreign languages, scholarships, student exchange programs are just some of the advantages that I experienced by my own. The 12 faculties, and a branch unit of the University provide programmes in 100 fields of study and 160 specializations. In addition, the University offers several doctoral programmes, more than 50 postgraduate study programmes, as well as studies in English and French. More than 28 000 students attend the University of Lodz. The University is also very open for […]

Há já uma rede de investigadores que troca informação sobre a terapia fágica e fornece fagos em caso de necessidade. Imagine que alguém tem uma infecção de uma bactéria resistente a um antibiótico e a única solução é ser tratado através da terapia fágica, uma abordagem terapêutica que usa vírus (bacteriófagos) para matar bactérias específicas. Adelaide Almeida, do Centro de Estudos do Ambiente e do Mar da Universidade de Aveiro, alerta que seria útil a criação de um banco de dados com informação sobre todos os bacteriófagos (ou fagos) que cada laboratório do mundo produz. Assim, esse laboratório poderia disponibilizar o fago para tratar a infecções ou para ensaios clínicos, aumentando assim a rapidez desses testes. Neste momento, já existe […]

The project “Europe” is stumbling. Now more than ever. Opinions tend to differ sharply when it comes to questions concerning refugees, the rise of far right parties and racism against minorities. The European Union seems to fall apart as countries discuss the leaving of this once-so-promising project. So the question arises, what can we – as individuals – do to save this venture? How can we make sure that our grandchildren will have the same privileges that we have now? I think the most basic and most important precondition is to be OPEN. To be open towards new cultures, new people, new habits. To be open towards new norms, new ideas, new point of views. Only when we mutually approach […]

Uma equipa liderada por um cientista português observou, pela primeira vez, estruturas que se começam a desenvolver nos embriões e fetos humanos, mas que desaparecem antes do nosso nascimento. Através de uma técnica de imagens a três dimensões, uma equipa de cientistas dos Estados Unidos e de França espreitou ao pormenor a anatomia de embriões e fetos humanos. Assim, o grupo liderado pelo biólogo português Rui Diogo conseguiu observar músculos que se formam durante o início do nosso desenvolvimento, mas que se perdem antes de nascermos. Essas estruturas desapareceram durante a evolução (na transição dos répteis mamalianos para os mamíferos) há mais de 250 milhões de anos e ainda são visíveis em alguns animais. O trabalho foi publicado esta terça-feira […]

The future of the European Project depends on our acts now. As a young European citizen who has already participated in projects provided by the European Union, I know that the best way to support the European Project growth is taking part in diversified programmes such as studying abroad, voluntary service or any kinds of internships. These experiences give a new perspective for the future of young people. Mobility does not pose any difficulties anymore because it is a part of the projects mentioned above. Moreover, we are eager to apply for jobs abroad, to travel and stay in touch with all the people we have met along our way. All the connections between the people and the sense of […]

As european citizens, we all have the responsibility to take care of the EU and contribute to its success, development and improvement. The EU is not only an International Organization of States, it is a political and economical union based on the common interests, necessities, rights and obligations of all their citizens. It has been created to generate services and to manage and solve common problems of the European States in order to offer better life conditions to the citizens of this geopolitical area. For this reason, the europeans have inherited the duty to participate actively towards the growth of the EU. We are required to exercise our rights such as voting in the EU elections, to invest in its […]

I’m proud and happy to be part of EU. Finland joined the EU in 1995 together with Sweden and Austria. It gives me so many opportunities, one of them, which I’m experiencing right now: the European voluntary service. What can I do to help the EU to survive and grow better? An obvious way is voting. It’s important to vote in your own country’s elections, and in EU elections. Decisions and changes made in one country might lead to other countries making the same kind of changes, in better direction. What I really like about EU, is that the borders are open. It makes travelling easy, and motivates me to travel more and see the world. That’s how EU brings […]

In these times it is so important to be a part of our society and to participate in the European Union. But what can we do for the European Union? At first, we can vote. All citizens of the European Union have a suffrage and we have to use it. Everyone can complain again about the politic of the EU but you can be an active part of it. And I think that most people in Germany know this. Because the voter turnout was 61,4 % in Germany for the elections to the European Parliament in 2019. And I was surprised that only 10.9% of the German voted for right populists. So, I think we are doing well in Germany. […]

How can we ensure the future of the European Project in the coming decades? Firstly, I doubt that there will be a European Project for my grandchildren (if I have any at all?) The problem is divided into certain reasons of why there might not be a future. If I were to have grandchildren and they were British citizens (unless I marry a someone from the EU 27 or if my children marry someone from the EU) then I do not think they will have access to European Citizenship. Brexit is the reason for this. My grandchildren would not be concerned necessarily with the European project because I believe that the UK by my estimations and how things are going […]
