SUMMARY:Metagenomic and bioinformatic tools for deep-ocean observation and diversity studies
DESCRIPTION:It will be a four-day event taking place on 5-8 May 2026. \nDESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the past couple of decades\, the development of high-throughput sequencing technologies has enhanced our capacity to study biodiversity and ecosystem functioning across multiple habitats. The generation of large amounts of data\, however\, requires specific bioinformatic and statistical tools to contribute to marine ecosystems observation and management. This workshop aims at providing an overview and practical application of current methodologies\, such as eDNA metabarcoding\, metagenomics\, and associated bioinformatic tools to analyze next-generation sequencing data and to make insightful interpretations in the context of marine ecology and biodiversity. There will be a focus on microbial communities\, but the workshop will cover the two major biological groups (prokaryotes and eukaryotes) and it will explore biodiversity concepts that encompass larger organisms as well. This 4-day workshop will comprise keynote lectures by invited speakers as well as theoretical and practical lectures by CIIMAR and external instructors\, and hands-on sessions for the implementation of bioinformatic workflows. We will make use of open-source tools available in R and Python environments for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of large sequence and environmental data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTarget audience: MSc/PhD students to established researchers\nRequirements: Basic knowledge in programming environments (e.g. R\, Python) is desirable\, but not mandatory.\nLocation: FCUP (Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto)\nRegistration is free for all participants\n\nRegistrations are open until 21 April 2026. \nNOTE: \nA maximum of 25 participants will be selected for the workshop\, considering their motivation and the potential impact of the workshop in their careers. \n\nWorkshop Instructors: \nDr. Catarina Magalhães \nDedicated to understanding how microscopic life shapes natural environments and responds to ecosystem functioning\, from the icy waters of the Arctic and Antarctica to the deep sea and coastal ecosystems. Catarina Magalhães works as a researcher at CIIMAR and teaches at the University of Porto. Catarina also serves on the coordination committee of the Portuguese Polar Program. In her research\, she combines oceanographic expeditions\, laboratory experiments\, and advanced genomic approaches\, such as metagenomics and metatranscriptomics\, to investigate how these invisible communities respond to environmental change. Catarina is actively involved in several national and international marine microbiome monitoring programs\, contributing to global efforts to standardize microbiome research and data sharing. She particularly values collaborative work and the opportunity to bring together multidisciplinary teams to address key challenges in marine science.  \nDr. Miguel Semedo \nMiguel Semedo received his PhD in Marine Sciences from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science\, College of William and Mary (2019)\, and he is currently a junior researcher at CIIMAR and co-PI of the Microbiome Ecology and Biogeochemistry group. As a microbial ecologist\, Miguel is interested in investigating the diversity and function of microbial communities across multiple environments and their roles in biogeochemical processes\, especially the nitrogen cycle. For his research\, he applies molecular\, bioinformatic\, and biogeochemical methodologies to connect the dots between microbial community composition and biological activity. \nDr. Alessandro Vezzi \nAlessandro Vezzi obtained his PhD in Biotechnology from the Department of Biology at the University of Padova\, Italy\, in 2003\, and he is currently a researcher in the same Department. As a molecular biologist\, Alessandro has always focused his research on genome sequencing and analysis of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms\, applying various laboratory protocols and surfing through different sequencing platforms. In recent years\, Alessandro has increasingly focused his expertise on the study of environmental microbial communities through metagenomic and metatranscriptomic approaches\, while continuing to engage in a broader range of research areas. \nDr. Adriana Rego \nAdriana Rego is a junior researcher on the Cyanobacterial Natural Products (CNP) team at CIIMAR\, working at the interface of microbial and chemical ecology fields. During her PhD studies\, completed in 2023\, Adriana assessed the biosynthetic potential of Earth microbiomes through bioinformatic analysis of biosynthetic genes within metagenomic datasets. Adriana’s research is driven by her interest in bacteria and their potential as biosynthetic machineries. She combines laboratory and bioinformatic approaches for the bioprospection of environmental microbiomes\, aiming to understand chemical interactions across the environment. \nDr. Francisco Pascoal \nFrancisco Pascoal holds a PhD in Biology\, from University of Porto\, and is currently a researcher at CIIMAR. His research focuses on the development of data science tools\, including machine learning\, to analyse microbiome datasets. He is an expert on the prokaryotic ecology of the Arctic Ocean and on the microbial rare biosphere topic. Recently\, Francisco developed an unsupervised learning strategy to define the microbial rare biosphere\, and is currently working on rule-based and supervised machine learning to uncover the complexity of microbiome datasets. \nNicola Gambardella \nNicola Gambardella graduated in Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics at the University of Padova and he is currently a PhD researcher in Biology at CIIMAR. As Bioinformatician and microbiologist\, Nicola is interested in developing bioinformatic tools and study microbial communities in extreme and rapidly changing environments. His PhD\, funded by the competitive “LaCaixa” Foundation INPhINIT fellowship\, focuses on the role of prokaryotic communities in mercury transformations in permafrost degrading environments. For his research\, he uses multi ‘omics techniques and ad-hoc bioinformatic pipelines to connect biogeochemistry and microbial ecology.

SUMMARY:Multivariate Statistics with R for Biological Sciences
DESCRIPTION:20 hours course \nThis course will focus on the most useful techniques of multivariate statistical analysis in Biological sciences. These will be principal component analysis\, canonical correspondence analysis\, multidimensional scaling\, discriminant analysis and cluster analysis. Other techniques\, such as correspondence analysis and factor analysis will be approached in a simpler way. Lastly\, some techniques will be approached in a very introductory way\, as it will be the case of canonical correlation\, and redundancy analysis. A brief introduction to parametron and non-parametric techniques for hypothesis contrasts (Hoteling test\, MANOVA\, PERMANOVA) will also be part of the first session. \nAlthough this course uses the R programming language as the basis for the examples and exercises\, which will undoubtedly help the student to become more familiar with it\, learning this language is not an objective of this course. \nGOALS/SKILLS \nThe general aim of the course is to become familiar with the basic concepts of multivariate statistics and to know in detail the main techniques. The methodology to do it consists of exemplified theoretical explanations\, for which the open source programming language R will be used. Students will receive the course lesson material in pdf format\, which contains the theoretical explanations together with worked examples. The examples will also be provided as scripts in R language. In addition\, students will be provided with data files\, which will be used to perform a series of exercises during class hours. These exercises will also be reviewed during class hours. \nPrerequisites: Basic knowledge of R \nINSTRUCTOR \nAldo Barreiro Felpeto is a researcher at Centro Interdisciplinar de Investigação Marinha e Ambiental (CIIMAR) associated to the University of Porto (Porto\, Portugal). His research career has focused in plankton ecology. He defended his Ph.D. dissertation in 2007 in the Department of Ecology at the University of Vigo (Vigo\, Spain) about interactions between zooplankton and toxic phytoplankton species from the Spanish NW Atlantic coast\, southern Baltic sea and southern Tirreno coast. In 2008-2010\, he performed a post-doctorate in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University (Ithaca\, New York\, USA). Since 2011 he is a researcher at CIIMAR.

SUMMARY:From Question to Measure: Designing a Good Questionnaire
DESCRIPTION:Questionnaires are among the most widely used data collection tools in scientific research. However\, their apparent simplicity conceals a set of methodological decisions which\, when not properly grounded\, can compromise the validity and reliability of the data collected and\, consequently\, the conclusions of the research.   \nThis training adopts a strongly practical orientation: it starts from the most common errors observed in questionnaire design in research settings and\, through group-based exercises\, develops the skills required to produce rigorous\, clear\, and study-appropriate measurement instruments. \n  \n\nGENERAL INFORMATION:\nThis workshop will be a two-day event\, taking place on May 18 and 21\, at IPMA\, Matosinhos\, from 9:30am to 1pm. \nThe sessions can be held in portuguese or english\, depending on the preferences indicated in the registration. \n  \nRegistrations are open until May 15. \n\nCIIMAR & IPMA members: free\nStandard: 100€ (CCMAR members have a 50% discount)\n\n  \nNOTE: The attendance certificate will be issued if the trainee attends at least 80% of the total course time. \nIf tickets are sold out\, you can sign up for the waiting list through this link (you will be notified in order of registration). \n  \n\nDESCRIPTION:\nBy the end of the training\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the principles that distinguish a well-designed questionnaire from a problematic one; \nSelect the appropriate scale type and response format for different variables and research objectives; \nFormulate clear\, unambiguous items free from wording bias; \nStructure and order a questionnaire to minimise context effects and respondent fatigue; \nCritically review questionnaires produced by others (and by themselves)\, identifying areas for improvement; \nApply these principles to develop a questionnaire tailored to their own field of research.\n\n  \n Programme: \n1st day (May 18th) \n\nFoundations\n\nWhat is a good questionnaire?;\nTypes of variables and measurement scales. Common research errors;\n\n\nItem Construction\n\nWriting clear and valid items;\nWording and response biases;\nQuestionnaire structure and format.\n\n\n\n2nd day (May 21st) \n\nPractical Exercise (I)\n\nGroup work: participants design a mini-questionnaire relevant to their field;\nCritical analysis;\n\n\nPractical Exercise (II)\n\nPeer review of questionnaires;\nGuided discussion: what to improve and why;\n\n\nClosing Session\n\nKey principles summary;\nRecommended resources.\n\n\n\n  \nTrainer: Virgínia da Conceição \nVirgínia is a clinical and health psychologist and researcher at the Health Policy and Systems Lab of the Institute of Public Health of the University of Porto (ISPUP – EpiUnit/ITR). She holds a PhD in Public Health from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto and is the Principal Investigator of the BRIDGE-MH project (2024.15502.PEX)\, which focuses on the evaluation of mental health promotion programmes in higher education.  \n

SUMMARY:From Question to Measure: Designing a Good Questionnaire
DESCRIPTION:Questionnaires are among the most widely used data collection tools in scientific research. However\, their apparent simplicity conceals a set of methodological decisions which\, when not properly grounded\, can compromise the validity and reliability of the data collected and\, consequently\, the conclusions of the research.   \nThis training adopts a strongly practical orientation: it starts from the most common errors observed in questionnaire design in research settings and\, through group-based exercises\, develops the skills required to produce rigorous\, clear\, and study-appropriate measurement instruments. \n  \n\nGENERAL INFORMATION:\nThis workshop will be a two-day event\, taking place on May 18 and 21\, at IPMA\, Matosinhos\, from 9:30am to 1pm. \nThe sessions can be held in portuguese or english\, depending on the preferences indicated in the registration. \n  \nRegistrations are open until May 15. \n\nCIIMAR & IPMA members: free\nStandard: 100€ (CCMAR members have a 50% discount)\n\n  \nNOTE: The attendance certificate will be issued if the trainee attends at least 80% of the total course time. \nIf tickets are sold out\, you can sign up for the waiting list through this link (you will be notified in order of registration). \n  \n\nDESCRIPTION:\nBy the end of the training\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the principles that distinguish a well-designed questionnaire from a problematic one; \nSelect the appropriate scale type and response format for different variables and research objectives; \nFormulate clear\, unambiguous items free from wording bias; \nStructure and order a questionnaire to minimise context effects and respondent fatigue; \nCritically review questionnaires produced by others (and by themselves)\, identifying areas for improvement; \nApply these principles to develop a questionnaire tailored to their own field of research.\n\n  \n Programme: \n1st day (May 18th) \n\nFoundations\n\nWhat is a good questionnaire?;\nTypes of variables and measurement scales. Common research errors;\n\n\nItem Construction\n\nWriting clear and valid items;\nWording and response biases;\nQuestionnaire structure and format.\n\n\n\n2nd day (May 21st) \n\nPractical Exercise (I)\n\nGroup work: participants design a mini-questionnaire relevant to their field;\nCritical analysis;\n\n\nPractical Exercise (II)\n\nPeer review of questionnaires;\nGuided discussion: what to improve and why;\n\n\nClosing Session\n\nKey principles summary;\nRecommended resources.\n\n\n\n  \nTrainer: Virgínia da Conceição \nVirgínia is a clinical and health psychologist and researcher at the Health Policy and Systems Lab of the Institute of Public Health of the University of Porto (ISPUP – EpiUnit/ITR). She holds a PhD in Public Health from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto and is the Principal Investigator of the BRIDGE-MH project (2024.15502.PEX)\, which focuses on the evaluation of mental health promotion programmes in higher education.  \n

SUMMARY:Reuniões doutorais eficazes e feedback eficiente na supervisão doutoral
DESCRIPTION:A supervisão doutoral é uma dimensão central da carreira académica\, envolvendo não apenas o acompanhamento científico\, mas também a gestão eficaz do processo de orientação do desenvolvimento do/a doutorando/a. As reuniões de orientação constituem um espaço privilegiado para este acompanhamento\, podendo representar uma parte significativa da agenda dos orientadores\, quando estes orientam múltiplos estudantes. \nNo entanto\, estas reuniões nem sempre são utilizadas de forma estratégica. A pressão de múltiplos compromissos\, a ausência de referenciais claros e a tendência para substituir encontros por comunicações assíncronas (como o email) podem comprometer a sua eficácia. Acresce que\, muitas vezes\, não existem diretrizes institucionais claras para a condução destas reuniões (Coutts & Marshall\, 2019; Woods & Berger\, 1988). \n  \n\nINFORMAÇÕES GERAIS:\nO workshop ‘Reuniões doutorais eficazes e feedback eficiente na supervisão doutoral‘ será realizado no CIIMAR\, dia 29 de maio\, das 9h30 às 12h30. A sessão será dinamizada em português. \n  \nAs inscrições estão abertas até dia 20 de maio.\n\n\nMembros do CIIMAR e IPMA (prioridade para doutorados): gratuito\nStandard: 100€ (membros do CCMAR têm desconto de 50%)\n\n\n  \nNOTA: O certificado de participação será emitido caso o formando compareça a\, pelo menos\, 80% do tempo total do curso. \nCaso os tickets estejam esgotados\, pode inscrever-se na lista de espera (será notificado por ordem de inscrição). \n  \n\nDESCRIÇÃO:\nEsta formação tem como objetivo apoiar orientadores no desenvolvimento de práticas de supervisão mais estruturadas\, intencionais e eficientes\, potenciando o impacto das reuniões de orientação. \nSerão abordados os seguintes tópicos: \n\nReflexão sobre os objetivos das reuniões;\nApresentação das mais-valias dos diferentes formatos;\nLei de Yerkes-Dodson;\nUtilidade das reuniões coletivas e das reuniões 1-1;\nO que abordar na 1ª reunião;\nEstrutura das reuniões;\nFeedback.\n\n  \nFormadora: Ana Freitas \n\nLicenciatura em Educação (IE-UMinho); Mestrado em Ciências da Educação (IE-UMinho); doutoranda em Ciências da Educação no tema ‘Educação Doutoral’ (FPCEUP).\nCertificada como formadora de professores (CCPFC/RFO-16273/03) e como formadora de formadores (EDF-42336-2003).\nÉ atualmente assistente convidada na Universidade do Porto (Faculdade de Engenharia e Faculdade de Ciências) e doctoral research fellow no CIIE – Centro de Investigação e Intervenção Educativas\, na FPCEUP.
