Research Centre for Human Development (CEDH) | LinkedIn

Welcome to our Linkedin official account! We are the Research Centre for Human Development (CEDH), from the Faculty of Education and Psychology at Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP). Our Centre aims to foster research with impact on human development, from the perspectives of Psychology and Educational Sciences, and to provide the scientific framework for postgraduate training. By promoting the discussion and dissemination of scientific knowledge on human development, we expect to contribute to researchers’ training by strengthening national and international cooperation with institutions dedicated to the study and promotion of human development.

• ✨ At CEDH, we believe that research is the driving force behind knowledge and progress! Since our inception, our mission has been to bring undergraduate and master’s students in Psychology at the Faculdade de Educação e Psicologia – Universidade Católica Portuguesa (Porto) closer to the world of scientific research in Human Development. At Wednesday's Scientific Forum, we held a special event. Our researchers presented ongoing projects, giving students an exclusive opportunity to explore the impact and relevance of the research conducted at our Centre. It was a moment of inspiration, discovery, and connection, where curiosity met science, and new possibilities took shape! 🚀🔍 #HumanDevelopment #Psychology #WeAreCEDH
