Amélia M DELGADO holds a PhD in Microbiology & Biochemistry (2007) from Nova University of Lisbon with a background in Biotechnology & Food Engineering from University of Lisbon; Researcher at MED (Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development ¿ University of Algarve), since 2017, with the Food Science and Technology group. She completed specific training courses in science communication, and sustainability (industrial green transition and sustainability indicators) from UN Institute for Training and Research and with FAO (food loss & waste). Besides academic experience in student supervision and lecturing, she also has hands-on experience in assessing the feasibility of innovations (food & biotech) and in project monitoring at the national (RRP of PT and CY) and at European levels (Horizon Europe, and EASME-EIC). She was involved in several international projects both purely academic as well as transdisciplinary and involving multiple stakeholders (e.g., MD.net, time for future & BioGov.net), contributing to the SDGs 2, 3, 12, 13, and 15. She is interested in sustainable foods, food cultures and their linkage with landscapes and biodiversity. At a molecular level, she is interested in knowing more about phenolics and other bioactive compounds in foods and their impact on nutrition, food safety and more. She has editorial roles with MDPI, Frontiers and Springer, and regularly co-edits and co-author books (4) and book chapters (58), as well as research papers in Q1 and Q2 journals (23), all cited (including those published this year). In addition, she also published articles in technical magazines, blogs, and sites to reach a wider audience. She co-organised international scientific events, in the scientific committee of 3 international congresses, designed and/or implemented workshops with multiple stakeholders, has been a committee member of 3 working/discussion groups, and has been invited to round tables & panels (7), as well as dissemination activities, and stakeholder’s engagement with respect to leveraging knowledge, tradition and innovation for climate adaptation. In her curriculum Ciência Vitae the most frequent terms in the context of scientific output are: food quality; food safety; sustainable foods; food waste; food processing; circular bioeconomy; Sustainable foods; agrobiodiversity; environmental impact; bioactive molecules in food; fermented foods; food analysis; rapid testing; quality control;
