Plastic-free oceans: Ocean sustainability in the sights of ULISSES
ULisboa is holding the 5th edition of the project and applications are open from 15 November to 15 December. Under the motto ‘Ocean without Plastics’, the initiative aims to creatively develop innovative technological solutions to characterise and mitigate the pollution of the oceans by plastics, guaranteeing biodiversity and the sustainable reuse of these materials in applications with economic value.
University of Lisbon Interdisciplinary Studies on Sustainable Environment and Seas aims to raise awareness among students and society, favouring a deeper understanding of issues related to the oceans.
The initiative is aimed at university students who are looking to take part in an interdisciplinary and international project, who want to deepen their knowledge of the ocean and its importance for the sustainability of the planet, and who are looking to explore different career prospects. It will take place over several weeks, with an online component between January and April 2025, and a face-to-face component in Lisbon from 7 to 25 July 2025.
