– AlWaste Project (Eduardo Cardadeiro): completion of the national model for quantifying the impact of tourism on urban waste generation; continuation of collaboration with the Algarve Tourism Region (CEU–RTA protocol); submission of the article “Tourism-Driven Municipal Waste Generation in Portugal” to an international journal by the end of 2026; development of the information model for the waste component of the Observatory for Sustainable Tourism in the Algarve and support for the international certification of the region as a sustainable destination. The pace of the project is hampered by a lack of external funding (fieldwork on best practices in waste management would involve a dedicated researcher).
– Sustainability in consumption and brands (José Magano): conclusion of the review process of four articles — a model of the dynamics of moral licensing systems induced by brands (Frontiers in Sustainability), “The Liability of Foreign Greenness” (International Marketing Review), internal communication of sustainability in projects (Journal of Project Management), and organizational maturity and measurement of the impact of sustainability in projects (Systems, with Cláudia Sousa Silva and Gilbert Silvius); submission of “Between mandate and backlash: sustainable marketing innovation under directionally incompatible regulation” to the Journal of International Marketing, in conjunction with line 9.
– Sustainable project management: chapter “Sustainable Project Management as a Catalyst for Innovation and Productivity: An Integrative Literature Review” (Springer, Productivity and Innovation, under review).
– Longitudinal mapping of sustainability research in leading management journals (Sérgio Pontes, Carlos Freire, with ISEG/ADVANCE-CSG): conclusion of the text mining analysis of the corpus of 40,664 articles (2000–2025), typology of research flows and article submission.
– Natural capital and impacts of climate change (Rui Neves, with IDL and the University of Algarve): identification of key natural capital sectors and their vulnerabilities, econometric modeling of tourism demand and calculation and mapping of climate impact indices on tourism at the national and regional levels; conclusion of the review processes of the article on teaching coastal management with GIS (Journal of Geography in Higher Education) and the chapter on StoryMaps and sustainable tourism (Edward Elgar).
Objectives: to consolidate AlWaste as the basis for the Observatory for Sustainable Tourism in the Algarve, to publish the works under review, to expand research on sustainability signals in an international and regulatory context, and to produce a reference map of sustainability research in management.
