The aim is to create a space for debate and exchange of experiences in which students can deepen their knowledge and skills, enjoy the presence of renowned experts from prestigious universities, and promote an interdisciplinary look at the chosen topic.

The Autumn School is structured around theoretical sessions followed by spaces for debate, research workshops with an eminently practical nature and a study visit to the Historic Center of Castelo de Vide.

Students will also be able to present their research topics and work methodologies in poster format to be discussed during the School, in a session dedicated to this purpose.
