2º Encontro MED – Documentos
Nos dias 3 e 4 de julho, realizou-se no polo da Mitra, da Universidade de Évora, o 2º Encontro do MED. Num dia e meio repleto de atividades científicas reunimos mais de 100 investigadores do MED pertencentes à Universidade de Évora, ao CEBAL – Centro de Biotecnologia Agrícola e Agro-Alimentar do Alentejo e à Universidade do Algarve. “Healthy Soils: For Food, For Life and For the Future” foi o tema principal deste encontro, onde os investigadores do MED mostraram o seu trabalho por meio de comunicações orais em sessões temáticas e em demonstrações de ciência.
O Encontro MED 2023 promoveu o conhecimento interno da investigação realizada nesta unidade de I&D sediada na Universidade de Évora, procurando também estimular o trabalho colaborativo e multidisciplinar na procura de soluções para os desafios atuais que se colocam à agricultura, ambiente e desenvolvimento no sul do País e noutras regiões mediterrânicas.
No âmbito do 2º Encontro MED disponibilizam-se nesta página o livro de resumos do evento e as apresentações das sessões paralelas, autorizadas pelos respetivos autores.
