- Sharing experiences
- To promote networking with LIFE projects and other European projects
A tribute will also be dedicated to Prof. João Paulo Almeida Fernandes, who was Professor at the Department of Landscape, Environment and Planning of School of Sciences of the University of Évora, first president and founding member of the Portuguese Association of Natural Engineering APENA, and member and collaborator since its origins of the European Federation of Soil Bioengineering EFIB. His work, with his great knowledge and scientific rigour, contributed to the consolidation and dissemination of Bioengineering in Southern Europe, with emphasis on the botanical aspect. He taught several subjects related to the Environment, Characterization and Assessment of the Territory, Assessment of Environmental Impacts, Sustainability and Bioengineering Techniques.
