I am looking for a project to join
My field of expertise lies at the intersection of Consumer Culture, Tourism, Territorial Development, and Innovation. My research focuses on consumer behavior and culture, experiential design, territorial identity, sustainability, biodiversity valorization, and the development of products and experiences that create social, cultural, environmental, and economic value. I am particularly interested in understanding how consumption practices, identity, and belonging can contribute to sustainable territorial development and biodiversity conservation. My ongoing projects explore sociobiodiversity, consumer culture, territorial identity, sustainable tourism, and creative approaches to transforming local knowledge and biodiversity into meaningful products and experiences.
Management sciences
I am interested in joining this project because it strongly aligns with my research interests in sociobiodiversity, territorial identity, consumer culture, sustainability, and tourism. My background in Management and Tourism, combined with my research on consumer behavior, experiences, territorial development, and sustainable innovation, allows me to contribute a social and applied perspective to biodiversity-related research.

I am particularly interested in investigating how biodiversity can be valued not only from an ecological perspective, but also through cultural identity, local knowledge, consumer practices, tourism experiences, and innovative products and services. I believe that interdisciplinary collaboration can help bridge scientific knowledge, local communities, creative industries, tourism, and markets, contributing to conservation while generating social, cultural, and economic value.

I would be especially interested in contributing to research design, qualitative research, consumer and stakeholder analysis, territorial approaches, experience design, and the development of strategies and solutions that connect biodiversity conservation with sustainable territorial development.
keywords: consumer culture, territorial identity, sociobiodiversity, sustainable tourism, innovation.
I seek networking opportunities with researchers working on sociobiodiversity, biodiversity conservation, consumer culture, territorial identity, circular economy, sustainable tourism, and innovation. I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary collaborations, joint research and publications, academic exchanges, and projects connecting biodiversity, local knowledge, sustainable consumption, circular design, creative industries, and territorial development.
