Motivated by the desire to collaborate in initiatives that support the definition of sustainable development policies and the resolution of environmental problems, Sofia Corticeiro sees the opportunity of joining the European Environment Agency‘s (EEA) list of experts as a way of contributing to science playing a central role in strategic decision-making.
“I consider it very important to contribute to this type of initiative“, says Corticeiro, “where science must play a central role in guiding and supporting strategic decision-making, capable of tackling the enormous environmental challenges that Europe is currently facing“.
Corticeiro sees this challenge as an opportunity for personal and scientific enrichment, and for contributing to the common good. “I believe this experience could be very enriching for me, allowing me to deepen my knowledge of European policies, interact with other experts and take part in relevant discussions with a direct impact on society“.
The researcher believes that her participation will promote contact with other institutions and strengthen CESAM’s mission to transfer knowledge to society and contribute to national and European public policies.
“I also believe that this opportunity will be an asset for CESAM“, she adds, “as it will help to strengthen its links with other European institutions and increase its visibility in the international context. My participation as an expert at the EEA could open up new opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing in areas considered strategic for CESAM“.
