ULISSES - University of Lisbon Interdisciplinary Studies on Sustainable Environment and Seas aims to raise awareness among students and society, favoring a deeper understanding of issues related to the oceans.

The initiative is aimed at university students who are looking to take part in an interdisciplinary and international project, who want to deepen their knowledge of the ocean and its importance for the sustainability of the planet, and who are looking to explore different career prospects. It will take place over several weeks, with an online component between January and April 2025, and a face-to-face component in Lisbon from 7 to 25 July 2025.

The selected students will take part in an international team and supported by researchers and experts will be challenged to design the most innovative solution to the problems facing the oceans in a collaborative environment.

Ulisses is a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) funded under Erasmus+ KA131. It consists of an intensive learning programme, offered by three partner institutions, combining virtual learning activities with physical mobility activities. ULisboa will be the receiving institution, where the learning activities during the physical mobility will occur. 

The programme is free and completion confers 6 ECTS credits. Students may apply for Erasmus grants at their home university, to participate in the physical mobility part of the Blended Intensive Programme. More information here on the Erasmus grant and how to apply it.
