Teresa Barros Cardoso is a environmental engineer and researcher specializing in maritime governance, Arctic policy, and sustainable development. With a multidisciplinary academic background and over two decades of professional experience, she integrates scientific, legal, and policy expertise to address complex environmental and geopolitical challenges, particularly in ocean and Arctic governance. Currently a PhD candidate in Geography and Territorial Planning with a focus on "Arctic governance: sustainable development challenges. Portugal's role in the Arctic Agenda" at Universidade Nova de Lisboa – Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas. Teresa holds three master's degrees: one in Law and Economics of the Sea – Ocean Governance (NOVA School of Law), in Environmental Engineering and Systems (FCT NOVA), and in Ecology, Management and Modelling of Marine Resources (FCT NOVA). Her academic journey is further enriched by postgraduate training in maritime law, waste legislation, and EU environmental regulation. Professionally, she serves as an environmental engineer and senior representative within Portugal's Directorate-General for Natural Resources, Safety and Maritime Services (DGRM), where she leads national and international delegations related to ship recycling. She is also affiliated as a researcher with the Jean Monnet OCEANID+ Centre of Excellence and the Interdisciplinary Centre of Social Sciences (CICS.NOVA). Her scholarly output includes peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, and a recent book chapter in the Arctic Yearbook 2024, underlining her role as a thought leader in Arctic governance. Teresa has participated in key European and international forums and was the organizer of the 1st Workshop on European Observer States of the Arctic Council promoted by Jean Monnet OCEANID+ Centre.

2024/10/24 - 2024/10/25 The XVI Portuguese Conference of Polar Sciences will be held at Almeida on October, 24-25 2024. Like in the previous editions, the conference aims to present the recent advances of the national scientific community in the Arctic and in Antarctica. We would like to invite the Portuguese Polar and related communities to join us in Almeida in October 2024.
Conference
XVI Portuguese Conference of Polar Sciences
Universidadeda Beira Interior, Portugal
2024/10/24 - 2024/10/25 The Polar Perspectives project was born with the idea of creating an international scientific network between scholars from the humanities and social sciences whose main research interests lie in the Arctic and Antarctica. At the centre of the project is an annual workshop that includes talks by diplomatic and military authorities, academics, independent researchers and postgraduate students. The first edition of Polar Perspectives will be dedicated to research centred solely on the Arctic region carried out by Brazil, Italy and Portugal.

2010/11/08 - 2010/11/11 The aim of the Venice 2010 Symposium is to focus on the advances made in the application of technologies for energy recovery from biomass and waste and to encourage discussion in these fields.
Congress
Third International Symposium on Energy from Biomass and Waste
Eurowaste Srl, Italy
2009/10/05 - 2009/10/09 The twelfth edition of the Symposium included two general sessions, five specialized sessions and workshop sessions for a total of seven parallel tracks. Papers were selected according to quality by a group of International Referees from a total of more than 700 abstracts from 62 countries. Keynote issues for this edition included: waste policy and legislation, waste management strategies, waste characterisation and waste management in developing countries.
Symposium

2007/11/23 - 2007/11/24 The congress stimulates scientific research in Malacology, promoting the dissemination of information.
Conference
Congresso Português de Malacologia
Instituto Português de Malacologia, Portugal
2007/09/05 - 2007/09/05 One of our key aims is to increase the influence of experimental biology within the scientific community and demonstrate to the wider public its importance and the impact of biological research on tackling real-world issues such as climate change, food security and conservation efforts.
Conference
Essential and Non-Essential Metal Metabolism in Aquatic Organisms Meeting
Society for Experimental Biology, United Kingdom
2007/05/20 - 2007/05/24 The actual and future challenges will be integrating information on the state of the environment, the ecosystem and human health, taking into account effects such as cocktail effects, combined exposure, and cumulative effects, hence improving the information chain to understand the links between sources of pollution and health effects.
Conference
SETAC Europe 17th Annual Meeting
Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, United States
2007/05/06 - 2007/05/09 The symposium will cover a wide range of subjects from aquatic toxicology. As in the past, the focus will be on the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in responses of aquatic species to pollutants, encompassing aspects of biotransformation and signal transduction related to the susceptibility of different species to xenobiotics. Particular emphasis will be placed on environmental genomics and proteomics.
