Universidade da Beira Interior (UBI) announces the opening of the postmaster (Humanitarian) Architecture, Infrastructure and (Incremental) Housing for Crisis, a course focused on some of the central crises affecting the world today.
The postmaster, meant for professionals acting in the humanitarian response such as architects, civil engineers or medical doctors, mainly concentrates on the problems experienced by the most vulnerable people and communities affected by climate change, extreme weather events, and disasters in general, including biological ones.
During the first day of the postmaster, roundtable discussions will take place and the Module coordinators will showcase information about their modules.
The online opening session will commence at 9:30 AM and continue until 6:30 PM, with a one-hour break between 1:00 and 2:00 PM.
