CALL

 

In accordance to art. 8 of the Research Grants Regulation of the Foundation for Science and Technology, with the financial support of the FCT/MCTES through national funds (PIDDAC), and within the scope of the Strategic Project of CEDIS 2020-2023 (Ref. UIDB/00714 /2020), a call for applications is hereby launched for 1 (one) Research Scholarship (BI), for PhD students, to collaborate in the knowledge center NOVA Green Lab, hosted by CEDIS, Centro de R&D on Law and Society (UI0714), at NOVA School of Law – Faculty of Law, Lisbon NOVA University, coordinated by Professor Filipe Brito Bastos.

 

Duration: The scholarship lasts for 6 months, with the possibility of renewal for an equal period up to a maximum of 24 months. The scholarship amount is €1,144.64 (one thousand one hundred and forty-four euros and sixty-four cents), with monthly payment by bank transfer.

 

Object, Objective and Activities: provide support and assistance to research carried out by NOVA GREEN LAB. The knowledge center responds to the need to find skills and knowledge in the environmental, climate, energy and urban areas, a topic that is directly or indirectly linked to all the objectives of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and whose awareness of the importance of good management of environmental and urban planning instruments is increasingly essential. Through a multidisciplinary approach, since environmental and urban instruments, as well as the respective legislation, are intrinsically dependent on concepts and practices that not only involve legal sciences, but also others such as environmental, geography, architecture, urbanism or information management, NOVA GREEN LAB’s research focuses especially on phenomena that occur in the European Union, in the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries, without forgetting the rest of the international community. In this regard, the fellow will help the NOVA GREEN LAB coordination team to achieve these objectives by providing research assistance, in particular helping with activities related to the elaboration of scientific documentation and the organization of conferences and workshops, in particular together with the privileged partners of NOVA GREEN LAB, public or private. In particular, the selected candidate will have to carry out part of his/her research on international and European environmental law..
