    I have been invited in the project by Michela Mangas a member of President von der Leyen's New European Bauhaus High-Level Round Table to act as the coordinator for an interdisciplinary partnership, called the satelite Labs; this involved eight HE international institutions working collaboratively under the sustainability themes 'Just Ocean'(2021) and 'Ecosystems Living'(2022). The externally funded £175.000 project (over 2 years) represented a total of 26 countries, 50 industry experts and the 8 global HE institutions from Computing, Biology, Neuroscience, Art, Music and Media departments. This 175.000 Euro in kind investment funded by the MTF and the city of Aveiro benefited students and staff across levels at LCC and resulted in curriculum development for cross level trans-disciplinary collaborations. The results have beendisseminated (online and within reports) and the Just Ocean project was followed with establishing and running a further international mentorship scheme for staff and students. The universities included student participants (across levels from foundation to postdoc) from York University in Toronto, Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, Arte and Ciencia Bioscénica in Mexico City, Labatier Cymatics in Rio de Janeiro, London College of Communication - University of the Arts in London, MPLab from Liepaja University in Latvia, Raster-Media in Chemnitz and the University of Aveiro in Aveiro.
