Católica Doctoral School organises the exhibition "Equity" that invites to reflect on Human Rights, at the John Paul II Library, Universidade Católica Portuguesa, from 24 June to 20 September 2022.

Using a hybrid format, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect through different media. The CADOS' DHI programme researcher, Carlos Barros, adds that "visitors may interact with the works exhibited in the physical and digital spaces, so that equity is not only in the visit - rather, in the exchange they can bring to the pieces and spread the discussion to more people".

The visit includes photographic works of the Duarte Tarré Association and testimonies from CADOS' Integral Human Development team, as a reflection on the need for engagement in Human Rights for an Integral Human Development. For the researcher, this path translates a World with a connection and peace.

In efforts to support the academic activities of UCP's graduate school, CADOS, along with three other collaborators, has developed a series of workshops called "Professionalization Workshop Series" on a few tools to be offered in the month of May 2023 to the whole UCP doctoral and post-doctoral community. These are deemed important to future academic and professional success and are meant as resources and starting points for discussion, not the definitive source of all knowledge.

The session dedicated to the theme "How to Build a Scientific Poster? Visual Editing Techniques", at 18h00, in online format.

The goal of the CADOS "Handling Frustration, Regulating Emotion & Fostering Wellbeing" is to endow doctoral students with evidence-based knowledge to regulate their motivation and emotions, handle negative events and setbacks in their work and life and regulate stress in a manner that is more consistent with their academic and personal goals.

The structure of the course encompasses lecture-type sessions, practical seminars, and “hands-on” exercises and challenges as follow-up coursework. The course will be available for all interested doctoral students at the Lisbon campus.
