Infosession | Portugal - Cork Biodesign: Creative Approaches to Desertification in Southern Portugal

In this 3-week, 3-credit summer course, we will learn about environmental issues related to water scarcity, ecological destruction and soil dilapidation, which are particularly visible in the regions south of the Tejo River basin, which traces a long diagonal line separating the semi-arid south from the still dry but sub-humid north. The course will focus on the region around Évora, one of the most important rural and educational hubs in the south, and explore how cork can be used in creative practices engaged with digital and biomaterial fabrication
