TERRARE: action research for eco-social regeneration

The research project "TERRARE: action-research for eco-social regeneration", coordinated by Oriana Rainho Brás (SOCIUS), involves the creation and maintenance of an urban mini-forest at ISEG. TERRARE aims to reflect on the eco-social processes involved in the creation of an urban mini-forest with the participation of the university community, and on research around soil regeneration through community reforestation. A forest for the university, a university for the forest. Positive values and actions in the present and for the future. This project is supported by ISEG Sustainability.
