Manuela Ramos
(Co-organizer)

Straight from the 60’s generation, graduated in Chemical Engineering at FEUP (Oporto University), even though from engineering what she remembers the most is mathematical thought and the will to new challenges.

Her career was built upon Quality and Environmental areas. In 2006 she established her own company, Siqas, Lda., where she performs the function of manager and also technical functions as consultant and auditor. She believes that sustainable practices are the future and to teach and incentivate them is her contribution to a better world.

She is a volunteer in her area of work, helping some social organizations in implementing quality procedures.

She likes the night and a good reunion with friends. Nature, specially, the sea, helps her balance her natural anxiety.

Dreamer and persistent, she believes in people and considers new projects and team work as a vitamin.

Da geração de 69, licenciou-se em Engenharia Química na FEUP, mas da engenharia o que permanece é o raciocínio matemático e o gosto pelo desafio.

A carreira foi construída nas áreas da Qualidade e Ambiente, tendo constituído a sua própria empresa em 2006, onde acumula as funções de Direcção da Siqas, Lda. com as de consultora e auditora. A sua aposta actual é fomentar práticas direccionadas à sustentabilidade, sobretudo porque acredita que esse pode ser o seu contributo para um mundo melhor.

Faz voluntariado na sua área de actividade porque é onde acha que pode ser mais útil.

É noctívaga e adora um bom convívio com amigos. A natureza e, em particular, o mar ajudam a equilibrar a ansiedade natural.

Sonhadora e persistente, acredita nas pessoas e considera novos projectos e trabalho em equipa uma vitamina.
