Raquel Barata

I am a Biologist (1996) and received a Ph.D. in Psychology from the ISCTE – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa in 2014, about the factors contributing to pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours. I am currently working in the Natural History Collections & Systematics Group of CE3C, within the goal for the development of non-formal and informal education on biodiversity conservation. I coordinate the communication and the education offices at the National Museum of Natural History and Science (MUHNAC) of the University of Lisbon, being responsible for the creation, management and delivery of MUHNAC educational projects (national and European). I also work as a mediator of inquiry-based activities at MUHNAC, particularly at the Botanic Garden, since 2003.
