Anabela Marisa Azul is a Researcher at the Center for Neuroscience and

Cell Biology (CNC) and the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research of the

University of Coimbra (UC, Portugal). She holds a Ph.D. in Biological

Sciences, specializing in Ecology (2002, UC), and pursued her investigation

on biology and ecology of fungi to pinpoint the role of mycorrhizal symbiosis

for sustainability of Mediterranean forests under different land use scenarios at

the Centre for Functional Ecology (CFE-UC), where she became an Associate

Researcher (from 2009 to 2014). At CFE-UC, Marisa Azul developed a

holistic approach that combined innovation in food production with sustainable

development and public scientific awareness to multiple actors. At CNC,

from 2014 on, Marisa Azul focuses her investigation on basic research

and participatory research dynamics to pinpoint links between metabolism,

health/disease, and sustainability. She has broad academic experience as a

researcher working in participatory research and interdisciplinary that link

biomedical and life/environmental sciences, social sciences, science education, science communication, and artistic forms. Her research interests

also lie in bringing together the academy and social/economical players. She

has been successful in attracting national and international funding, coordinating

projects, and mentoring young researchers on the topics mentioned. She

has co-authored over 40 scientific publications and book chapters, co-edited

4 books on Climate Change Management Series and 1 onWorld Sustainability

Series published by Springer, co-authored 4 books for children and 2 comics,

and co-produced 1 animation.

Luciana Brandli, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the University of Passo

Fundo, Brazil, working in the Ph.D. Program in Civil and Environment

Engineering. Her current research interests include sustainability in higher

education and green campus, management of urban infrastructure and sustainable

cities, and the Agenda 2030 for sustainable development. She supervises a

number of Master’s and Doctoral students on engineering and environment

and sustainability issues and has in excess of 300 publications, including

Pinar Gökçin Özuyar is a Faculty Member of Faculty of Economics,

Administrative and Social Sciences at Istinye University, Istanbul, Turkey.

She received her B.S. degree in Environmental Engineering from Istanbul

Technical University in 1992 and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Bogazici

University Institute of Environmental Sciences, Istanbul, Turkey. Her Ph.D. thesis was based on the “Thermodynamic Analysis of Treatment Plants for

Producing Energy from SolidWaste” which she conducted in Germany with a

joint scholarship from Forschungzentrum Jülich and TUBITAK (National

Science Foundation of Turkey).

Defining herself as a pracademic, she has more than 25 years of experience

not only in academia but also in the private sector working on environment and

sector-specific activities in Turkey and Dubai (UAE). She has extensive

expertise specifically in environmental auditing according to World Bank

Standards which is required for international financing especially during

company mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and greenfield projects. Working

over the years in projects involving different stakeholder groups with different

priorities, she has the proven capacity for establishing a dialogue between such

stakeholder groups. Although coming from a technical background, her academic

work focuses on involving sustainable development into the strategies

of corporations including higher academic institutions. Currently, she teaches

and leads funded research on sustainability/sustainable development especially

focusing on industrial ecology and regional development.
