The scientific collaboration between CESAM/University of Aveiro (UA) and Nanjing Tech University, China, has gained new momentum with the recent visit of Rosa Freitas, a CESAM researcher and lecturer at DBIO, and Marta Cunha, a PhD student at CESAM/DBIO. This visit took place within the framework of the Sino-Portuguese Joint International Laboratory on Aquatic Ecotoxicology.
During this visit, Rosa Freitas (CESAM/DBIO) led the Climate Change in Aquatic Systems workshop, an initiative that brought together Chinese students and researchers for an in-depth discussion on the impacts of climate change on aquatic ecosystems.
In addition to the workshop, the CESAM/DBIO team participated in working meetings with colleagues from Nanjing Tech University, discussing potential collaborations on research projects, co-authorship of scientific publications, and academic exchange opportunities. This direct interaction strengthened the sharing of expertise and the development of new scientific approaches, which could lead to highly relevant joint studies.
