TERRA a Terra

TERRA a Terra

The TERRA Associate Laboratory promoted a series of internal seminars — TERRA a Terra* — to foster interaction among its members, which resulted in a series of videos (in Portuguese) that provide a better understanding of TERRA, its Research Units, and its research groups and lines of research, as presented by the researchers themselves.

*The seminar series is titled TERRA a Terra, a play on the Portuguese expression “terra a terra”, which conveys a sense of simplicity, practicality, and groundedness. In English, it can be translated as down-to-earth, reflecting the series’ commitment to accessible, real-world dialogue around sustainability, science, and territory.
