Filipa Ferreira

Filipa Ferreira is a Researcher at the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, FCT NOVA, and a PhD candidate in E-Planning at the same institution. She completed her Integrated Master's in Environmental Engineering at FCT NOVA with a thesis focusing on 'Urban Parks: Socio-ecological and Economic Assessment'—proposing a multi-dimensional evaluation framework. Her professional experience includes an internship at the National Council for the Environment and Sustainable Development (CNADS) in environmental policy evaluation.

As a member of the H2020 'UrbanWINS' project team and collaborator with the wTeamUP group, Filipa works at the intersection of environmental science and sustainable urbanism. She is affiliated with the Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre (MARE), a leading research center in marine and environmental studies, and participates in the Network of Environmental Studies of Portuguese-Speaking Countries.

• Current Role: Researcher at FCT NOVA
• PhD Research Area: E-Planning
• Key Projects: UrbanWINS (H2020), wTeamUP
• Research Center: MARE

Her research interests span social-ecological systems, biosphere reserve management, environmental policy evaluation, and marine biology. Filipa applies interdisciplinary methodologies to address urban sustainability challenges and environmental conservation.

Filipa's publication record demonstrates expertise in both theoretical frameworks for biosphere reserve management and applied physiological studies on aquatic species. Her work bridges the assessment of environmental policies with hands-on research on species' responses to pollutants like atrazine and adaptation to salinity changes.

She is actively engaged in collaborative research within FCT NOVA's environmental engineering department, contributing to sustainable urban planning initiatives and participating in international projects. Filipa's research combines fieldwork in marine biology with policy analysis, reflecting her dual focus on scientific rigor and societal impact.
