VI PhD Students Meeting in Environment and Agriculture

Abstract

Dear participants, It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the VI Encontro de Estudantes de Doutoramento em Ambiente e Agricultura (EEDAA) / PhD Students Meeting in Environment and Agriculture, held in Évora on the 9th and 10th of December 2021. We have put together a two-day program with the aim of encouraging scientific discussion. This Meeting represents an excellent opportunity for young researchers to exchange ideas and to explore new challenges in research regarding Environmental and Agricultural Sciences. This event is organized by MED – Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development and IIFA – Institute for Advanced Studies and Research, University of Évora and supported by UNIMED – Mediterranean Universities Union. The EEDAA focuses on four main areas: (1) Biology and Biochemistry, (2) Veterinary Sciences and Animal Production, (3) Agricultural Sciences and Food Sciences, and (4) Environment, Landscape and Sustainability. The meeting includes four invited plenary lectures and several presentations selected from the abstracts submitted by PhD students. In addition, all authors that were not selected for oral communication, will present their work as posters displayed throughout the meeting. This meeting intends to stimulate the interaction between PhD students, to streamline scientific discussion and highlight the ones who will become the researchers of the future. Finally, we wish to thank the scientific committee as well as all the participants who have contributed to the scientific program and hope you will enjoy the meeting and appreciate the beautiful city of Évora, an UNESCO World Heritage.
