Written by anamourato on . Posted in Notícias

The HYGIEIA Project aims to design an innovative Erasmus Mundus Master’s degree, providing applicable skills in strategies ensuring health and well-being through non-pharmacological approaches – using cosmetics, food supplements and nutrition and lifestyle education. HYGIEIA is designed to be attended in mobility at the Universidade Lusófona and at the universities of Belgrade and the Balearic Islands.

The Project Follow-up meeting took place in Mallorca on the 6th and 7th of June. It was part of a Focus Group with the participation of stakeholders representing higher education institutions in Spain and Latin America, as well as pre and postgraduate students, which made it possible to capture new elements for the consortium and collect contributions that will be applied, for example, in the design of the study plan and complementary teaching activities.
