European researchers visited Univille last Thursday (April 3) as part of the global “SeaChange” research project, which investigates changes in marine ecosystems over time in different parts of the world. Univille participates in the project as a partner of the University of Exeter, United Kingdom.
At the Joinville campus, the researchers explored the research facilities available at the Instrumental Analysis and Molecular Biology laboratories.
In the evening, James Scourse (University of Exeter), Oliver Craig (University of York), and Bernd Schöne (University of Mainz) presented the “SeaChange” project to students from Biological Sciences and to master’s and doctoral students from the Graduate Programs in Health and Environment and Cultural Heritage and Society.
André Colonese (Autonomous University of Barcelona) also shared scientific findings from another international research project, “Tradition,” in which Univille professor Dr. Dione Rocha Bandeira served as a senior scientist. The project examines the historical contribution of artisanal fishing to food security and poverty reduction in coastal communities across Latin America over the past 6,000 years.
The group then traveled to São Francisco do Sul, where they conducted fieldwork in Babitonga Bay throughout the following week, under the coordination of Univille professor Dr. Celso Voos Vieira.
“Univille’s role as a partner of the University of Exeter in SeaChange reinforces our leading role in international research focused on sustainability and the environment,” highlighted Acting Rector Dr. Therezinha Novais.
She officially welcomed the delegation during a presentation of the university led by International Affairs Advisor Dr. Juliana Bustamante, with the participation of Vice-Rector for Research and Graduate Studies Dr. Paulo França and Dr. Giannini Apati, coordinator of the Agency for Innovation and Technology Transfer (Agitte).
The visiting researchers represent universities from five European countries:
University of York and University of Exeter — England
Autonomous University of Barcelona — Spain
University of Copenhagen — Denmark
Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz — Germany
