Intensive courses on biodiversity surveys (RAS), data analysis (e.g., R tools), ecological modelling (Ecopath with Ecosim), and observational oceanography (e.g., satellite remote sensing).
Disseminate the project’s results at international and national conferences and seminars.
Contribute to scientific support in the area of ecosystem monitoring methods and indicators, based on the publication of a series of science-indexed articles and the preparation of comprehensive publications under the LUANDAWATERFRONT logo, to be jointly developed for by all project partners.
