To summarise the intricacies and complexities of European Union is no mean feat, especially to do so in roughly 200 words. The European Union is facing its most difficult challenge to date as people in the member states are increasingly becoming apathetic or down right adversarial towards the EU. With the situation of Brexit being a predominant political problem, that will be felt by most people throughout the continent and to the rest of the world, the EU will have to weather this storm if it is to maintain the integrity and diplomatic relations with the rest of the union member states. The EU needs to be strong when confronting Britain as they have to show other countries that leaving […]

The next Elections to the European Parliament are held from the 23rd till the 26th of May 2019. At the moment 751 Members of the European Parliament represent the 28 member states with more than 512 million people. Because of the Brexit, the European Parliament voted in February 2018 to decrease the number to 705 members. With the exit of Great Britain the European Union faced some problems. At the beginning a lot of other countries thought about to follow Britain and also leave the EU. The parliament showed a lot of challenges the Brexit brings and because of that they could avoid it. Although there was a petition for a referendum my home country always was commonly for staying […]

Filipe Costa, professor da Universidade do Minho, integra consórcio internacional que quer compilar sequências curtas de ADN de pelo menos cerca de dois milhões de seres vivos. Filipe Costa, professor da Universidade do Minho, é um dos mil cientistas que integra um consórcio internacional que quer descobrir os “códigos de barras” das diferentes espécies. O projecto Bioscan, que é lançado este domingo, pretende encontrar sequências curtas de ADN de cerca dois milhões de seres vivos nos próximos sete anos. O sistema de identificação usado por esta equipa de investigadores baseia-se em “códigos de barras” de ADN, que são sequências mais curtas de ADN, que permitem uma identificação rápida, mas ainda assim eficaz, das espécies. O seu funcionamento é semelhante ao […]

Na reta final desta experiência, posso afirmar que aprendi o verdadeiro sentido de voluntariado: é um dever civico e não uma opção para um cidadão ativo. Quando decidi fazer um SVE, foi algo que começou por ser uma curiosidade, com o intuito de me divertir, conhecer pessoas de outros países e culturas e ter uma oportunidade para crescer e aprender. Com destino à Roménia, na Europa de Leste, a cidade Craiova tornou-se na minha casa durante quase quatro meses. Ajudei a desenvolver o projeto “Be Fit”, que consistiu em ajudar adolescentes de uma prisão/centro de detenção/correção local. Através de atividades de desporto, pintura, artes manuais e dança, tentámos transmitir aos jovens os valores e a importância da inclusão social e […]

In a short time, it will be May 23-26, time for the next elections for the European Parliament. These elections are especially important, as they concern the future of Europe and its standing towards important subjects such as work, security, migration and climate change, some of the most discussed topics, be it in global or local politics. Topics which have a huge influence on our future and well-being in said future. These elections may also mark an important turning point, seeing as the European Union is trying, and often struggling, to fight against the apathy of its citizens and the strong populist tide many countries seem to find themselves in. The situation in my country, Germany, may be described as […]

Agência espacial dos EUA também perspectiva um regresso à Lua, agora das mulheres. Donald Trump já disse que não é na Lua que devemos ficar, é para Marte que devemos ir. Visitas turísticas à Estação Espacial Internacional vão ser realizadas a partir de 2020, garantiu esta sexta-feira a NASA. O anúncio prevê a abertura do espaço para “novas oportunidades comerciais” e também a pessoas e empresas que queiram apoiar financeiramente a agência espacial norte-americana. A NASA, sublinhou Robyn Gatens, directora adjunta da estação, irá permitir a realização de duas missões com “astronautas privados” por ano, com uma “curta” duração de 30 dias cada. Para o director financeiro da NASA, Jeff DeWit, o plano será cobrar aos “turistas” 35 mil dólares […]

Até agora, curso de ilustração científica na Universidade de Aveiro já formou cerca de uma centena de ilustradores. O Laboratório de Ilustração Científica do Departamento de Biologia da Universidade de Aveiro tem vindo a tornar-se uma referência internacional nesta área, recebendo todos os anos alunos estrangeiros que vêm aprender a comunicar a ciência através da imagem. Este espaço destinado à investigação e experimentação no universo da imagem documental, enquanto modelo de comunicação do conhecimento científico, foi criado em 2011, tendo já realizado sete edições do curso de formação em ilustração científica. “É um curso muito exigente. São quase 1700 horas de formação, com dez disciplinas distribuídas pelos dois semestres”, disse à agência Lusa Fernando Correia, director do laboratório que já […]

Europe is going through quite a difficult period; facing turbulent times and big important questions coming along forces the EU to think how it is going to shape its future. What kind of solutions it will it be able to make and how well will they work eventually. The European Union has survived before, so now it just needs to focus on solving problems in a innovative way and try to keep people trusting and believing on the work of Union. Europe has to be able to react quickly for the changing reality and to turn the challenges in to possibilities. This next citation is about the motto of the EU (”United in diversity”) and so, according to the European […]

O ensino superior e a ciência têm de estar no cerne da agenda política para o país. O ensino superior e ciência em Portugal tem sido palco de um crescimento continuado ao longo das últimas décadas. Este crescimento traduziu-se, por exemplo, num importante aumento dos recursos humanos ativos, com destaque para o crescente número de doutoramentos, no aumento muito notável da produção científica, traduzida em artigos publicados, e também na capacidade de captação de financiamento internacional. Contudo, este crescimento ocorreu num quadro de subfinanciamento crónico das instituições e de crescente precarização laboral. Entretanto, os indícios de afunilamento das áreas de investigação; de transferência parcial das responsabilidades de investimento em ensino superior e ciência para o setor privado; de insuficiências na […]

The occasion for a young Italian man to discuss about European unity. In this exact historical moment Italy is facing some troubles on the road to European unity: year by year too many governments have risen to power, each of them ruled by different parties and political figures, sometimes with diametrically opposed ideas about how to deal with Europe and its politics. Now more than ever, it is essential to work towards unity; in a world where the powers become bigger and more centralized there’s no space for fishes that swim alone. Moreover the European dream is not anymore something unavailable and far from our reality, it is slowly happening in front of our eyes, and an initiative such as […]

Europe doesn’t mean only a couple of countries, it is more than that. Members of the European Parliament are elected every five years and this year in May will be the next election. As a transnational parliament with directly elected members, the European Parliament is unique in the world. The institution represents the interests of the EU citizen at an European level. The Parliament elects the President of the European Commission and appoints the Commissioners (as a college). There is more scepticism in the Netherlands about what Europe is and if it is necessary to be in the European Union. In general the Netherlands are positive about Europe but the well-known migration discussion is still a big deal for some […]
