• A joint degree between the University of Aveiro and University of Lisbon.

• A flexible, state-of-the-art, research oriented program.

• Prone to interdisciplinary research, combining branches of biology, ecology,

modeling, health, sociology.

• Focused on training students in areas of biology/ecology so that these can

effectively counteract human-induced global changes.

• All students with compulsory stays of 6+ months on a non-Portuguese

institution

• On a case-by-case basis and when a student spends at least 3 semesters in one

of the host non-Portuguese universities, the degree might also be awarded

under a joint degree/cotutelle agreement between the overseas host

institution and the Universities of Aveiro and Lisboa.

• 4-y program, total 240 CUs, 70 CUs to course/tutorial work,

including transferable skills, 170 to the thesis work.

• Courses can be taken in any of the consortium institutions

• Offers a wide range of topics and courses the following areas of

specialization/concentration:

(1) Tropical Biology and Ecology,

(2) Marine Biology and Ecology,

(3) Ecology and Functional Biodiversity,

(4) Evolution and Genome Biology,

(5) Environmental Biology and Health.

• Governance:

• Program Director

• Board (and Executive Board) -1 from each partner

• Thesis Advisory Committee for each student

• Yearly monitoring scheme for the progress of students

• External Advisory Committee

• Funded by FCT (€ 3,28 million over 4 years)

• 48 PhD grants for the first 4 editions (12 * year)

• International calls for 12 “mix” PhD student grants per year
