The University of Algarve (UAlg) is set to make a splash at Expo Osaka 2025 in Japan on June 26 and 27, with an anime-style animated video highlighting the Ria Formosa Natural Park. This innovative project blends science, art, and intercultural dialogue, offering a unique and bold approach to environmental storytelling.
A Fusion of Cultures and Science
The video, inspired by Japanese visual aesthetics, incorporates traditional elements like panel compositions, decorative patterns, and cinematic landscapes, reminiscent of anime and manga. This creative endeavor aims to introduce the Ria Formosa Natural Park and UAlg's research projects to a global audience, merging scientific production with a universal visual language.
Strengthening International Ties
By participating in Expo Osaka 2025, UAlg underscores its commitment to internationalization and expanding its global footprint. The video, produced by Fly Moustache, a studio born out of UAlg Tec Campus, exemplifies the university's dedication to fostering connections between education, research, and the creative industry.
A Creative Approach to Science Communication
This project reflects UAlg's innovative spirit, combining storytelling, Japanese visual culture, and scientific communication to engage diverse audiences, from laboratories to the general public. It's a testament to the university's role in shaping the future society through creativity, innovation, and knowledge.
Portugal's Blue Dialogue at Expo 2025
Portugal, one of 160 participating countries, will focus on the theme "Ocean: Blue Dialogue", positioning itself as a global leader in ocean protection. The national pavilion's exhibition will explore Portugal's deep connection with the ocean, past, present, and future.
The Ria Formosa Natural Park
Spanning 18,400 hectares across five municipalities in the Algarve, the Ria Formosa is a stunning wetland area, stretching 60 kilometers from Ancão Beach to Manta Rota Beach. This participation is part of a broader initiative led by the Algarve Business Association (NERA), supported by European funds.
