Research Summit 
2023
23
Under the theme “Inclusive, innovative and sustainable societies”, 
the 2023 edition of the Research Summit has once again brought 
together faculty, researchers and students at the Universidade de 
Aveiro, strengthening networking among all, fostering sustainable 
research partnerships, and providing a forum for sharing of know-
how and expertise.
The research community was challenged to critically reflect on the 
university’s contribution to inclusiveness, innovation, and the way 
forward towards more sustainable societies, through research as 
well as through action, setting our university as an example. 
On the 1st day of the event, 12th July, Maria Lúcia Leitão, from the 
Banking Conduct Supervision Department at Banco de Portugal, 
delivered a very interesting presentation entitled “Inclusive, innovative 
and sustainable societies – the contribution of financial consumer 
protection and financial literacy”. The presentation focused on how 
financial consumer protection took the stage with a global financial 
crisis and the subsequent development of new policies aiming at 
protecting consumers of financial services, increasing consumer 
trust and confidence in the financial system and contributing to 
fairer, more sustainable and inclusive growth and financial system 
stability. In the midst of an ever-increasing digital world, ideas on 
digital financial literacy and its role on consumer decision, choices and 
behavior, ultimately promoting financial resilience, were discussed.
The 20 research units of the Universidade de Aveiro had the 
opportunity to showcase the most recent research carried out under 
the theme of the Research Summit 2023, ranging from extended 
reality, responsible electronics, sustainability challenges or healthy 
aging to food additives and insects and sustainability.
The event also counted on the participation of Laura Roman, Policy 
Officer at the Industry 5.0 Unit, Directorate-General for Research and 
Innovation of the European Commission. The presentation “Invited 
systemic change in the research and industry environments from 
the lens of adoption of AI and new technologies and the industry 5.0 
human-centric, resilient and sustainable approach” focused on how 
Artificial Intelligence is paving its way in research, as well as the role 
of Industry 5.0 in leading industry to achieve societal goals beyond 
jobs and growth, to become a resilient provider of prosperity, by 
making production respect the boundaries of our planet and placing 
the wellbeing of the industry worker at the center of the production 
process, while providing an overview of the European Commission 
policies and engagement opportunities in these topics.
Following the plenary session, days 2 and 3 were highly attended. The 
PhD pitch sessions aim at providing PhD students the opportunity to 
pitch their work, encouraging them to improve communication and 
networking skills. Apart from the hundreds of PhD pitches, through 
12 parallel sessions, around 20 students pitched the activities 
developed under the scope of PIIC@UA (Scientific Research Incentive 
Program) to promote their enrolment in science during the 1st and 
2nd cycle of training.
The expected outcomes of this Research Summit shall be reflected 
on the institutional engagement towards an Inclusive, innovative and 
sustainable society, shedding light on the significant contribution 
of our university’s community to current and future challenges 
and existing divides. The projects and outputs discussed under the 
Research Summit 2023 are the display of how a customized and 
adaptable pooling of the best people and resources, provided by the 
university’s underlying matrix structure, contribute to tackle ever-
evolving research challenges.

The world faces severe environmental threats, namely 
climate change and the biodiversity crisis. Mitigating 
environmental degradation requires collective action, 
reliant on thematically and geographically comprehensive 
scientific datasets. States must rep ort environmental data 
on the areas under their national jurisdiction to comply 
with their environmental commitments. However, this 
process is often costly and time-consuming, resulting in 
heterogeneous data availability.
Citizen science (CS) is a powerful tool fostering large 
datasets (through continuous, cost-effective data 
collection and processing over large area extensions), data 
transparency, and public engagement and participation. 
However, engaging and retaining citizens in long-term 
voluntary participation poses challenges. This study 
addresses this issue by unveiling the drivers of the adoption 
of CS apps, focusing on coastal environment monitoring, 
an activity supported by numerous CS initiatives.
Our methodology combined four theories in a tailor-
made conceptual model for investigating the adoption 
and use of CS apps for coastal environment monitoring: 
UTAUT 2, Citizen Empowerment, Green self-identity 
and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions (described in 
Cardoso-Andrade et al., 2022). The research design is 
presented in Figure 1.
The findings of our conceptual model, which were based 
on responses to an online questionnaire addressing the 
constructs of the model, highlight key drivers such as 
habit, citizen empowerment, facilitating conditions, 
and environmental performance expectancy (Figure 
2). Moreover, collectivist societies and individuals with 
a green self-identity (who adopt pro-environmental 
behaviors) are more prone to adopt these apps. Based 
on these findings, we propose guidelines to improve 
citizen engagement and retention in CS projects for 
coastal environment monitoring through their apps 
( Cardoso-Andrade et al., 2022).

methodology used to perform 
qualitative and quantitative 
characterization of different chemi- 
(A, B and C) and physisorbed 
(D, E and F) CO2 species formed at 
different gas partial pressures 
in APTES@SBA15.
Our group has recently explored solid-state (ss) NMR 
methodologies to collect adsorption data, profiting from 
the numerous advantages offered by standard high-
resolution ssNMR techniques, such as high-field magnet 
and Magic-Angle-Spinning (MAS). These features 
are crucial for recording comprehensive adsorption 
isotherms of confined non-protonated gas molecules, 
such as CO2. This work gathers all methodologies 
developed in our previous studies, wherein we applied 
variable pressure ssNMR for assessing CO2 adsorption 
mechanisms on mesoporous silicas. Altogether, these 
ssNMR methodologies allow the acquisition of CO2 
adsorption isotherms enabling the identification and 
quantification of distinct chemisorbed and physisorbed 
CO2 species.
Figure 1 contains a schematic illustration of the various 
methodologies applied to record full gas adsorption 
isotherms, using 13CO2 adsorbed on amine-modified 
mesoporous silicas (APTES@SBA-15). Our approach, has 
the advantage to differentiate between physisorbed and 
chemisorbed CO2 fractions, allowing the identification 
of six distinct types of confined CO2 species. This work 
represents a major contribution to the adsorption 
research community, as traditional techniques 
like volumetric or gravimetric adsorption can not 
distinguish between different CO2 species. Moreover, 
it seamlessly integrates spectroscopic and gas 
adsorption measurements, enabling a comprehensive 
characterization of the CO2 adsorption processes in 
porous materials at the molecular scale. Our group 
is currently applying this methodology to a wider 
range of materials, including zeolites, porous carbons, 
covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and metal-organic 
frameworks (MOFs), demonstrating its potential to 
obtain deeper structural insight into gas adsorption 
mechanisms and separation processes, which will 
ultimately contribute towards the development of 
improved solid adsorbents.

in Brazil in 2019.
This article explores the relations between W.E.B. Du 
Bois’s concept of “double-consciousness” and the gutter, 
a specific component of the language of comics and 
graphic narratives in general, in order to read the graphic 
novel Rosebush, Medal, Plantation and Other Stories by 
the Brazilian author and illustrator Jefferson Costa. To 
make the connection, the article further uses the themes 
of a “crossroads” and “spiraling time” associated with 
the Brazilian theorist Leda Maria Martins, Homi Bhabha’s 
espousal of “in-between spaces,” and Umberto Eco’s 
notion of the “unsaid.” Bringing these conceptual areas 
together helps to approach Costa’s work in terms of its 
support for his Afro-Brazilian roots, and in such a crossing, 
the gutter becomes a metaphor for counter-hegemonic, 
identity-producing discursive practices associated with 
Afrofuturism. In this way, the text plays with the power of 
graphic strategies, both brought together and separated 
by the gutter, in the service of leading the reader through 
the various time periods which make up the narrative. As 
with all stories, it has been constructed in constant tension 
between what Costa has decided to show and what he 
hopes may be imagined by the reader. This link, between 
what is shown and what might be perceived, complies 
with a point of view proposed by Afrofuturist thought, in 
that it does not situate time as linear – past, present and 
future – but rather as circular and interdependent. Time 
is also both continuous and discontinuous, performing 
an erratic relation which approaches the constructions 
of identity as mixture and indeterminacy explored by 
Homi Bhabha. Indeed, graphic narratives in general may 
be said to evidence well this ambivalent relation with 
discourses of identity, emerging out of the dynamic flows 
and tensions among their basic mixture of graphic and 
verbal resources.

FlavourGame (http://flavourgame.web.ua.pt) is a project 
in the intersection of arts, technology, communication, 
and health [1]. It is aimed at kids aged 10-12, the age at 
which food neophobia (resistance to new foods) is most 
prevalent. The hybrid game comprised one table board, 
a digital application, real food, and smart tweezers, 
mixing fictional and digital worlds through merging 
physical interactions and rich sensory experiences in 
search of behavior change.
FlavourGame is a cooperative hybrid board game 
for up to 3 players. Kids work together to explore a 
fantastical world, encountering challenges and learning 
about healthy eating through the story and special 
food-themed cards. Players choose characters with 
unique abilities and travel across hexagons representing 
different environments (Figure 1). They might taste real 
food during their journey and earn rewards, but will also 
face setbacks they must overcome together [2].
The research team worked on the creation of a hybrid 
game model based on a TUI — tangible user interface. 
 The tangible object created was the Smart Food Tweezers 
(national patent application No. 118774) which has 
sensors to recognise food in hybrid ludic environments 
(Figure 2). The Smart Tweezers were invented for new 
mechanics involving tasting real food. The research for its 
creation was grounded in the need for a new interaction 
approach, requested by the game hybridity.
The DigiMedia research unity coordinated the project 
in collaboration with a team on Nutrition from 
the Portuguese Catholic University (Porto) and a 
Communication team from the University of Minho. All 
the user-centered experiences with kids to evaluate the 
hybrid game were conducted at PROBRANCA-CATL (a 
Leisure-time Activities Center in Albergaria-a-Velha) 
and College “Paulo VI” (Porto).

FIGURE 1
Potential for resource circularity 
of Technology-Critical Elements 
(TCEs) recovery through sorption-
based methodologies (synthetic 
sorbents and biosorbents).
The scientific advancements achieved during 2023 
strongly contributed to improving resource recovery and 
circular economy practices. Using sorption-based methods 
for retrieving Technology-Critical Elements (TCEs) from 
electronic waste (e-waste) addresses the critical shortage 
of TCEs but also helps mitigate the environmental and 
health risks associated with conventional mining and 
e-waste disposal. The use of sorbents such as synthetic 
materials, biosorbents derived from plants, algae, or 
agricultural waste, coupled with recovery optimization 
through surface response methodology, can significantly 
reduce the EU’s dependence on imports and promote 
resource recycling (Figure 1). In 2023, we have successfully 
published works on these topics in high-impact journals 
(IF > 14) [1, 2], demonstrating the relevance of this 
research. Studies on the recovery and recycling of 
natural resources, especially those whose supply chain is 
at risk (such as TCEs), represent a major contribution to 
sustainable management and development. Additionally, 
our work on the ecotoxicological impacts of e-waste 
and TCEs also provided relevant information for 
policy makers on the impacts of unregulated disposal 
of e-waste in aquatic systems, especially under the 
influence of other anthropogenic pressures such as 
climate change (in collaboration with Rosa Freitas 
from UAveiro’s Department of Biology). These were 
also published in renowned specialist journals (IF > 10) 
[3]. Overall, these advances pave the way for a more 
sustainable approach to resource management, aligned 
with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Promising 
results have been achieved by our research group, 
which is now dedicated to improving the selectivity of 
these materials to facilitate post-sorption refinement 
procedures and improve the purity of the elements for 
reuse. Once achieved, sorption-based TCEs recovery will 
be an important factor in reducing constraints on the 
supply chain of these elements and lessen the reliance 
on primary ore mining.

Memory Correct Responses for 
Animate and Inanimate Targets, 
Across Studies. Error Bars Represent 
Standard Errors of the Mean.
The animacy effect describes a memory phenomenon 
where animate entities (e.g., animals, people) encoded 
in a past event are remembered better than inanimate 
things (e.g., objects). This effect has been widely 
replicated in multiple languages, encoding procedures, 
and to-be-remembered materials (e.g., words, pictures). 
It was hypothesized that, from an evolutionary 
perspective, it would have been adaptive for humans 
to better remember animate (vs. inanimate) things, as 
animates have a higher potential to influence survival and 
reproductive success (e.g., animates can be predators, 
prey, potential partners). Although it is widely assumed 
that memory primarily concerns past events, memory 
functioning is foremost future-directed. Indeed, most 
daily tasks involve future-oriented intentions, such as 
remembering to deliver a message to a friend or to 
take medication at the appropriate time. This type of 
memory is known as “prospective memory”. Following 
the same evolutionary framework, we hypothesized 
that prospective memory should also be sensitive to 
the animacy dimension of targets (i.e., those that signal 
the need to implement an intention). Across a series 
of three studies, participants engaged in an ongoing 
task while being presented with words corresponding 
to animate and inanimate things; however, whenever 
specific animate and inanimate words were presented 
(e.g., bottle and dancer), participants should remember to 
undergo a specific task (i.e., to press a different keyboard 
key; prospective memory task). These studies were 
conducted with both Portuguese and English participants 
and used various procedures. Our findings revealed, for 
the first time, that animate targets also improve the 
execution of future intended actions (Figure 1). Besides 
the theoretical importance of this novel finding, potential 
applications are to be explored. Who knows whether 
using animate (vs. inanimate) cues in our daily lives would 
improve our prospective memory performance?
