The researcher from the School of Health and Life Sciences Tatiana Irigaray through PUCRS’s CAPES-PrInt Program (PUCRS-PrInt). She met with professors and research groups, and developed joint scientific projects with the Universitá degli Studi di Roma Sapienza, seeking new co-tutelle agreements with double degrees and mobility opportunity.
The partnership exists since 2021, when Tatiana went to the Italian university and visited professors Franco Giubilei and Francesco Della Gatta, with professor from the Universidad Católica de Valencia (Spain) Carmen Moret-Tatay. On this mission, the researcher from PUCRS completed the study titled Lifestyle changes in elderly during COVID-19 pandemic: Effects on wellbeing, mental health and loneliness, published in the Aging and Mental Health journal.
Among the activities, the professor visited the Dipartimento di Neuroscienze Salute Mentale e Organi di Senso (Nesmos), coordinated by Della Gatta, where she could present the PUCRS-PrInt initiatives as well as the projects developed in PUCRS’s research group Assessment, Rehabilitation and Human-Animal Interaction (Ariha). During the mission, Tatiana was able to plan new joint research projects and discuss the themes from the fields of aging, assessment and neuropsychological rehabilitation.
According to the researcher, the main purpose of this partnership is signing co-tutelle agreements with double degrees. In addition, to begin the process of co-authorship of scientific articles and the development of joint research projects between PUCRS and Sapienza. “We want to create opportunities for professor, researcher and student mobility from PUCRS to Sapienza, at the Nesmos, and from Sapienza to PUCRS,” she concluded.
