Professors from Universidade Lusófona, Ana Loureiro, Sílvia Luís, and Samuel Domingos, attended the XVII Environmental Psychology Congress (PSICAMB), which took place at the University of Málaga from 3rd to 6th February 2025. The event brought together over 300 authors from 11 countries, presenting the findings of 165 research studies.

At the congress, Sílvia Luís and Samuel Domingos, researchers from the Behaviour and Social Change in Context Laboratory at HEI-Lab, presented the papers "Biopolymer production: Market opportunities, challenges and consumer acceptance” and "Portuguese media representations of sustainable products: The case of bioplastics. Their presentations highlighted the main challenges in the production and commercialisation of bioplastics, offering recommendations to overcome them. They also emphasised the need to clarify definitions and dispel common misconceptions consumers have about these products, which are often reinforced by the media.

Research from the Be Green (Erasmus+) and BiolaMer (Horizon) projects was also presented. The scientific journal PsyEcology will publish a special edition featuring selected papers. During the congress, the Rocío Martín Award was granted to Sofía Moreno, a PhD student at the University of La Laguna, for her poster "Dime qué es la naturaleza y te diré quién eres”.

Additionally, members of the Environmental Psychology Association (PSICAMB) ratified the new Executive Board, led by Professor José Antonio Corraliza from the Autonomous University of Madrid, who aims to strengthen the internationalisation of the association and enhance the communication of research findings. Among the members of the new board is Professor Ana Loureiro from Universidade Lusófona.

The next congress will be held at the University of the Basque Country in 2027.
