Professor Guilherme Spinato Morlin, from the Ecohesion Collective research center at the University of Pisa, took part in the DESK – Developing Shared Knowledge in Innovative Materials and Digital Transformation for Sustainable Economy and Green Transition project, carrying out an academic mission in Paraguay at the Universidad Nacional de Itapúa.
During the mobility period, he delivered a series of lectures on Ecological Macroeconomics, addressing the links between climate change and the economy and introducing scenario analysis tools applied to ecological and social policy frameworks.
The activities also included a seminar for Master’s students on academic writing and scientific publishing practices, an interactive workshop supporting individual research projects, and several sessions of dialogue with faculty and local institutions.
Beyond teaching, Professor Morlin met with civil society organizations and regional institutions such as the Planning Secretariat of Itapúa, fostering exchanges between academic research, public policies, and the local community. The mission further strengthened the cooperation between the University of Pisa and the University of Itapúa, laying the foundation for future joint initiatives.
