PAFSE

About the Project

Partnerships for science education

The EU-funded PAFSE project will engage schools, universities, enterprises and non-formal education providers in building science clusters that boost young people's awareness of public health challenges, protective factors and patterns of risky behaviour, and the role they can play in their community preparedness. School-based activities will contribute to students’ and citizens’ literacy concerning public health threats that need to be approached by concerted action, with a focus on epidemics. Challenges such as child obesity, chronic illness, climate change and vaccine hesitancy will be included in the educational provisions. PAFSE will strengthen populations’ literacy and mitigate risks, having students play a central role as public health ambassadors, early adopters and spreaders of scientific knowledge.

Associated Centres

Human-Centered Computing and Information Science

The Centre for Human-Centered Computing and Information Science (HumanISE) brings together engineers, scientists, and designers with expertise in Human-Centred Computing (HCC), Computer Science (CS), and Information Science (IS). Interdisciplinarity, one of the Centre’s defining features, fosters the development of software systems, methods, and tools designed to empower individuals and their communities. The excellence and impact of HumanISE’s research, innovation, and consultancy activities allow addressing increasingly complex, volatile, heterogeneous, ambiguous, and uncertain challenges, while ensuring compliance with legal, ethical, and organisational standards and frameworks. Value transfer is achieved through close collaboration with academia and industry partners. HumanISE’s core research areas include Human-Computer Interaction; Computer Graphics and Interactive Digital Media; Information Management and Information Systems; Software Engineering; and Large-Scale and Special-Purpose Computing Systems, Languages, and Tools; as well as Computing for Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems. HumanISE also explores innovation domains like Earth, Ocean and Space Sciences; Personalised Health Research; Geospatial Information Systems Engineering; and Applied Information Systems and Computing.
