Dear colleagues,
Consider participate in a unique opportunity for PhD students, postdocs,
early-stage and established researchers in STEM and Social Science and
Humanities (SSH) fields.
This Advanced Certificate Course, taking place from April 2-4, 2025, in
Coimbra, Portugal (in-person with remote participation available) and
additional online-only sessions in May, focuses on fostering deep
interdisciplinarity in biotechnological research and innovation.

In recent years, European Commission funding calls, including Horizon
Europe, have increasingly emphasized the integration of social sciences
and humanities (SSH) into STEM-based research and innovation projects.
SSH scholars are not just "add-ons" but key contributors in shaping
interdisciplinary research that tackles Europe's most pressing
scientific and societal challenges.
This course brings together participants from STEM and SSH backgrounds
to critically engage with interdisciplinary collaboration, using the
Horizon Europe-funded BioAssembler project [2]--which develops
next-generation multiplex biosensors--as a case study.
Through eight dynamic sessions, participants will:
✅ Explore real-world examples of STEM-SSH collaboration in cutting-edge
biotech research
✅ Identify best practices, methods, challenges, and new approaches for
interdisciplinary work
✅ Engage across disciplinary boundaries, bridging gaps between SSH and
STEM perspectives
✅ Learn strategies for integrating SSH into EU R&I proposals and grant
applications
This course is ideal for PhD students, postdocs, and researchers at all
career stages with an interest in:
🔹 Interdisciplinary research at the SSH-STEM interface
🔹 Science, technology, and society studies (STS)
🔹 Science communication and policy
🔹 Biotechnology and emerging technologies
Participants seeking certification will have the opportunity to present
their work, workshop research proposals, or discuss career pathways in
this evolving field.
Please feel free to reach out to Rita Campos (ritacampos@ces.uc.pt) or
Kristen Connor (kristenconnor@ces.uc.pt) if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Rita
