- IX Regional Helix'25: Book of Extended AbstractsPublication . Fernandes, Paula Odete; Duarte, António; Vaz, Roberto; Scalabrini, Elaine C.B.; Lopes, Isabel Maria; Ferreira, Jessica; Leite, Joaquim; Alves, Jorge; Moutinho, Nuno; Cardim, Sofia; Ferreira, João José de Matos; Farinha, Luís; Ranga, MarinaOn behalf of the Organising Committee, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the IX International Regional Helix’25 Congress, held from 26th to 28th June at the School of Technology and Management of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB), and organised by the Applied Management Research Unit (UNIAG). The event demonstrated the essential role of collaboration among the four key actors of the Quadruple Helix model - academia, industry, government, and civil society - as a driver of sustainable regional development. We were especially pleased to count on the participation of members from the STARS EU consortium and the Thematic Interest Group (TIG) on Entrepreneurship & Innovation, whose contributions to the organising and scientific committees, as well as to the scientific programme, reflected a strong commitment to cooperation and innovation. A particularly memorable moment of the congress was the round table "Transforming Regions through Innovation, Sustainability and Collaboration", which fostered critical dialogue on the challenges and opportunities of collaborative innovation and the role of the Quadruple Helix in regional transformation. We thank all speakers for their valuable contributions and for enriching this important session with meaningful perspectives. The programme also included a Doctoral Forum, offering PhD students a valuable platform to present their research and receive feedback from experienced academics. This initiative supported scientific quality, intergenerational exchange, and the visibility of emerging researchers in an international context. A total of 62 papers were submitted, representing over 150 authors and addressing a wide range of themes, including management, digital transformation, tourism, cultural heritage, entrepreneurship, regional economics, sustainability, and green transitions. Eleven of these papers were recognised during the closing session for their scientific excellence. The quality and impact of the congress are a direct result of the outstanding work presented and the depth of discussion led by all participants, researchers, keynote speakers, and moderators. With participants from Albania, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal, the congress reinforced its international dimension and its role as a platform for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and regionally focused innovation. We are grateful to the Presidency of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, the Management Board of the School of Technology and Management, the Vice-Presidency for Communication, and the IPB Image Services and IT Technical Services for their support, as well as to the Foundation for Science and Technology, UNIAG, and all sponsoring organisations, both public and private, for making this event possible. A special thank you goes to the Scientific Committee and the Steering Committee, whose valuable guidance and support were instrumental to the success of Regional Helix'25. Last but not least, heartfelt thanks to the Organising Committee and its dedicated team for their commitment, professionalism, and enthusiasm throughout what was both a challenging and rewarding mission. As this chapter closes, we reaffirm our belief in the relevance and future potential of the Regional Helix initiative. We hope it continues to inspire reflection, foster meaningful debate, and open new paths for cooperation, knowledge transfer, and shared development.

- 2nd. International Workshop on Additive Manufacturing and Sustainability (IWAM): book of proceedingsPublication . Rocha, João; Ribeiro, J.E.; Santos, Jorge; Lima, Rui A.In recent years, the manufacturing processes have undergone a profound transformation, driven by the rapid evolution of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. What began as a tool primarily for prototyping through stereolithography has now expanded into a versatile and innovative field capable of producing functional, end-use components across a wide range of industries. From fused deposition modeling (FDM) to selective laser melting (SLM) and beyond, AM has unlocked new possibilities in design, material utilization, and production efficiency. Today, additive manufacturing encompasses an extensive array of materials, including metals, polymers, paper, and even biological tissues, enabling applications that span from the mechanical industry to the biomedical sector. One of the most compelling aspects of additive manufacturing is its potential to drive sustainability in modern production processes. Unlike traditional subtractive methods, which often generate significant material waste, AM builds components layer by layer, minimizing excess material and promoting resource efficiency. Furthermore, the ability to use eco-friendly and recyclable materials aligns with global efforts to reduce environmental impact. AM also supports the production of complex, customized parts on demand, reducing the need for large inventories and long-distance transportation, thereby lowering carbon emissions. By optimizing resource use and enabling more efficient production cycles, additive manufacturing is emerging as a cornerstone of sustainable manufacturing practices. This proceeding book arrests the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities in the field of additive manufacturing, with a particular focus on its transformative potential and contributions to sustainability. The works presented here reflect the interdisciplinary nature of AM, showcasing innovative techniques, materials, and applications that are shaping the future of manufacturing. From cutting-edge research to real-world case studies, this collection aims to inspire further exploration and collaboration, driving the adoption of additive manufacturing as a key enabler of sustainable industrial progress. We invite readers to probe into these pages and discover how AM is not only redefining manufacturing but also paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient future.
