A while ago I joined Jannsen Santana and Flavia Cardoso in a fascinating research project: We are studying mega-events, such as the World Cup, Olympic games, music festivals or religious pilgrimages, to try to understand what could make these events more sustainable.

Here is a 6-minute video that presents the project:
