Title - Tourism: legal and economic analysis
Coordinators - Bárbara Magalhães / Francisco Nicolau Domingos / João Assis / José Lucas Cardoso
Abstract - This study aims to understand, in a transversal and interdisciplinary way, the evolution of the legal regulation of the tourism sector during and after the pandemic period.
In particular, the tax mechanisms specifically used in tourism will be reviewed, as well as the effects/impacts of the application of economic policies aimed at dealing with a generalised pandemic situation from a national and international perspective.
Finally, the legal mechanisms aimed at standardising tourism as a sector of activity will be critically analysed from a national, European and transnational perspective.

Ongoing project
Title - Sustainable Development in Higher Education
Coordinators - Ana Sotomayor / Fernando Miguel Seabra / Jorge Rodrigues
The imperative of pursuing a Sustainable Development, providing an adequate reconciliation of the triple economic, environmental and social dimensions imposes different challenges to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) located in different geographical locations, as well as in the various areas of activity with regard to teaching, research and services they provide to the community. Lecturing in these different contexts plays a leading role in this regard, by incorporating the conceptual framework of sustainability into teaching, research and community support.
The aim of this project is to understand how HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) and their lecturers are responding to this imperative.
Different contexts will be studied: Portugal, Spain and South American countries.
