of the European Society for the History of Science. This 3-part symposium problematized the current characterization of science
diplomacy as a post-WWII phenomenon. It had 11 communications on pre-WII periods, focusing on coordinated responses to transnational
health threats (Part 1), technoscientific standardization and cooperation (Part 2), and use of science and technology for
imperial ends (Part 3). (2024/09/04 - 2024/09/07)

colonial powers. The notion of 'available natural resources' had often to be constructed in order to legitimize colonialism,
with the help of technoscientific tools. (2022/07/01 - 2022/07/01)

| 2022/03/22 - 2022/03/23 | I participated in InsSciDE's third Open Conference (Lisbon). The event explored crucial themes in Europe's relationship to
scientific expertise and influence. DAY 1 spotlighted the role of Science Academies in science diplomacy since the 18th century.
In DAY 2 diverse stakeholders discussed the entanglements between science diplomacy and four topics deemed central to future
action: Open Science, Anthropocene, Technoscience and Innovation, and New Actors and a New Definition of Science Diplomacy.

exploratory work between InsSciDE and the European Network of Academies to delineate the role of academies as science diplomacy
organizations, particularly concerning their international involvement and role in asserting science diplomacy.

| 2020/10 - 2022/02 | I was selected to the Laboratory of the New Dramaturgies Festival (coord. Mickaël de Oliveira) to develop a project in the
performing arts, being tutored by an experienced artist, which in my case was the Portuguese theater maker Patrícia Portela.
I participated with two other selected artists in the program's four artistic residencies, various workshops, seminars, and
masterclasses by artists and academics in the performing arts. I wrote a theater play ('All Too Human'), which was later published
by the Festival.

of scenic and graphic research - a gaïa-graphy.

| 2020/01/06 - 2020/01/11 | I participated in the Anthropocene Campus (AC) Lisbon. The AC is an intensive, week-long summer school format for co-producing
and co-learning that asks how knowledge production can be attuned to transdisciplinary and translocal methodologies that link
insights of the natural and humanist sciences with other knowledge forms and practices. It explores pathways towards a novel
transdisciplinary culture of knowledge production and education. I attended seminars on social inequality, and on gentrification.
