Moreover, Tânia is leading a research team (REDeEM), co-supervising 4 Ph.D. thesis and 5 MSc dissertation (completed 4 and 1 ongoing), and 2 research assistants. Her dedication to nurturing emerging researchers is further demonstrated by her successful guidance of 4 master’s students who have completed their degrees. In addition to her research and teaching activities, Tânia has a solid international collaborative profile, enabling her to share and exchange knowledge with other researchers and practitioners interested in evidence-based interventions. As a result, 81% of her work is co-authored with researchers from various countries. In September 2022, Tânia was afforded the opportunity to participate in a research stay abroad, enabling her to enhance her skills and competencies while fostering synergies with other research groups through establishing international collaborations and networks. Additionally, Tânia was selected as an outstanding professional affiliated with one of the 8 European Universities that partnered with the International Mentoring Foundation for the Advancement of Higher Education (IMFAHE). This program is designed to facilitate effective networking that promotes global collaborations and knowledge exchange while providing essential tools and insights to excel as a researcher and educator.
