Currently, the coating of materials, from the perspective of their functionalization and modification of physical and chemical properties, has been an important technological resource in the formation of added value of a product. Similarly, research into thin films has grown significantly, aiming to create new materials/structures for potential applications in several fields. All these concepts are based on the Micro and Nanostructured of thin films, using different techniques to obtain them. The proposed training (and innovative at national level) aims precisely to contribute to the qualification of professionals, at a scientific and technological level, in this area of activity.

Member universities may require additional information from applicants. Please read the application information section carefully and include any extra required information in this section.

Entrepreneurship, technology and innovation

Critical and innovative thinking

Intra-personal skills

With the growing need for the industrial sector to adapt quickly to new trends and the dynamic behaviour of consumers in the digital environment, it is becoming essential to optimize project management processes,teams and indicators using agile methodologies. The micro-module in Social Media Project Management Methodologies contributes to project management practice in volatile and competitive markets, with a strong online presence and influence.

Media and information literacy

In a society where information circulates quickly and public opinion is easily influenced by different media, trust in information sources and democracy can be compromised. It is, therefore, important to identify strategies of manipulation, patterns of disinformation on different platforms and misleading content.

Fake News, Disinformation and Media Dark Patterns

In this micro-module, it is essential for students to identify the potential and limitations of strategic communication for new media, to determine the method(s) best suited to a given situation. A strategic communication plan for new media will be developed, considering the target audience as well as content creation and management.

Strategic Communication for New Media

The use of Clean Rooms in various areas of industry (optoelectronics, medical, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, hospital products, etc.) has become common practice, some even might definite it as necessary (even due to legal imperatives). In the field of research, it is completely fundamental today. Trying to fill a gap in the training of qualified professionals to work in the controlled environment of Clean Rooms, the proposed Micro-module fits into an offer aimed at multiple areas of activity, intending to provide solid knowledge (both theoretical and essentially practical) of increasingly relevant utility.

Energy and sustainability

This course will allow to train and capacitate adult graduates who perform or intend to perform science and technology management functions in companies 

and entities of the national scientific and technological system.

Technology Transfer and Business Creation

Designed for students from all academic backgrounds, the course equips participants with practical skills in data manipulation, visualization, and introductory machine learning using Python. No prior experience in programming is required, although basic computer literacy is expected. By the end of the course, participants will be able to write Python programs, work with real datasets, and create compelling visualizations using popular libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib.

This Micro-module aims to contribute to reinforce the forest agents’ skills, by offering technical-scientific perspectives that reinforce the acknowledgement of the value of the biodiversity of insects and other invertebrates to a sustainable forest management, as well as skills to:

a) identify relevant forest biodiversity indicators

b) identify potential threats to insect and other invertebrate biodiversity

c) evaluate the potential and applicability of management options that support the conservation of insect and other invertebrate biodiversity, associated with forest production.

Insect and other Invertebrate Diversity and Ecology in Forest Systems

The ongoing digital transformation is changing the way companies work and evolve. The improvement in the automatic acquisition of data from company operations, has made automated data processing techniques more relevant for processing large volumes of information. With this micro-module you'll learn the most frequent techniques of machine learning and good practices in the design of solutions, measurement of their performance, and understanding of their potential and limitations.

Applied Machine Learning

This is the second edition of the ChangeMakers challenge—an engaging, collaborative experience uniting passionate learners and societal stakeholders to co-create solutions for real challenges in our cities and communities. Building on the first edition’s success, this new chapter offers opportunities to share perspectives and develop impactful, practical strategies for urban and community needs. This year, we welcome “Unidade de Saúde Familiar Esgueira Mais” and Veolia, whose participation enriches the experience and strengthens our collective impact. Join us in turning ideas into action.
