Leader & coleader  :

• Mariana Muresan, UO
• Tomina Saveanu, UO: I am a researcher within the Faculty of Economic Sciences in University of Oradea. I am involved in the EU Green project from the start of its implementation in both WP2 - Education and WP3 - Research. Within WP3 Oradea team, as part of the task force, I am mainly a facilitator of the communication in Cluster 1, and also try to find matches between different initiatives across different faculties from our university. The main expectation from my participation in the staff week is to: help Cluster 1 members clarify the action plan for next year; to find potential partners for project ideas; identify means to advertise the project to other researchers that might benefit and contribute to the EU Green outcomes; and enhance involvement in research and educational activities. My personal research interests include corporate social responsibility in SMEs, and, more recently, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of students related to sustainability and the SDGs.
  During the staff week I will try to strengthen the connections between WP2 and 3, as I will present the Educational Strategy to the WP3 members. Lisa Ryan, ATU: Brain health, healthy ageing, nutraceuticals
