It is with great pleasure that we highlight the success of postdoctoral investigator in Education, Ingrid del Valle García, who, as a result of her research work, published a scientific article in co-authorship with researcher Elsa Estrela. The article is available in Revista Meta: Avaliação.

Ingrid del Valle García's research was marked by an innovative empirical approach, part of which was conducted at the Escola da Boa Água, a context that allowed for deeper reflections and analyses on educational practices, generating relevant contributions to the field of Education.

The published article reflects a commitment to quality and scientific relevance, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between researchers and highlighting the role of educational and research institutions in promoting significant advancements in the educational field.

Ingrid's achievement is a testament to the positive impact that postdoctoral research can have, not only on individual academic development but also in generating knowledge that contributes to more effective and inclusive educational practices.

We would like to congratulate both researchers for this publication and also thank the Escola da Boa Água for their support in the development of the empirical work. This is yet another example of how educational research can transform school contexts and positively influence the academic community and society.

We invite everyone to read the article and explore the contributions it brings to the field of Education, here.

With great enthusiasm and pride, we announce the launch of the 1st Edition of the Online Journal REME.

The Interdisciplinary Research Center for Education and Development (CeiED) announces the organization of a Cultural Circle on Doctoral Education, with 25 researchers already registered. This initiative provides an opportunity to reflect on practices, challenges, and developments in doctoral education at Lusófona University, particularly within the Doctorate in Education program.

According to the announcement, the Cultural Circle aims to discuss both structural and emerging issues, such as:

• The evolution of the Doctorate in Education, including its origins, structure, and curriculum;
• The profile of students: nationality, gender, age, and professional background;
• Dissertation topics and their connections with Research and Learning Communities (ReLeCo);
• The selection of methodological manuals suitable for different research fields;
• Proficiency in languages such as English and other research languages;
• Critical aspects of supervision, including problem definition, hypotheses, and methodology;
• Participation in conferences and international mobility;
• Supervision practices and styles;
• Academic fraud, including plagiarism and the use of artificial intelligence;
• Experiences from the Writing Workshop and the Doctoral College;
• The selection of supervisors and the composition of examination committees.

The event will follow an adapted Cultural Circle model, with collective organization among participants and the possibility of inviting experts for specific topics. Five online sessions are planned, to be held between January and May 2025 via the Zoom-Colibri platform. The sessions will take place from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM on the following dates:

• January 13
