Baldoino’s Secondment in Coimbra!

Baldoíno Fonseca is in Portugal to spend a one-month secondment at the University of Coimbra (UC). Baldoíno comes from the Federal University of Alagoas (UFAL) where he is an Associate Professor and also the coordinator of the UFAL team in the DEVASSES project.

After the introduction of his work during the project’s face-to-face meeting in Florence, Baldoíno moved to Coimbra where he will have further opportunity to find common interests and start collaborations in the context of the project. A presentation is planned in the context of the regular seminars of CISUC-SSE group, in order to present further details on UFAL’s research and also to reach a broader audience of local professors, researchers and students.

The secondment will be important the planning of the future work of researchers to be seconded at the UC (Ítalo Silva) and also the researchers going to UFAL (Nuno Antunes and Cristiana Areias).

With some overlap with the secondment of Regina Moraes, this is also an opportunity to have interesting Transfer of Knowledge presentations and discussions that can be important to find collaboration opportunities between UFAL and UNICAMP, fostering the collaboration between the two research groups.

Finally, during the secondment period there will be opportunity to work on the project deliverables in hands and also search for funding opportunities for the medium/long term.
