A delegation from the University of Coimbra (UC), headed by the Pro-Rector for Sustainability and Planning, Patrícia Pereira da Silva, participate in the 14th annual conference of the Portuguese-speaking Higher Education Forum (FORGES), which is taking place until November 28 at the Polytechnic University of Macau.

The FORGES conferences, which bring together teachers, researchers and other representatives of higher education institutions from Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Macau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe and Timor-Leste, aim to promote close connections between academic communities in Portuguese-speaking countries and encourage reflection on some of the main structuring themes of higher education, making it a space for cooperation, sharing, learning and research. This 14th edition is dedicated to the theme “Innovation for Development in Portuguese-speaking Countries and Regions”.

The Pro-Rector of the UC said that the UC's presence at the 14th annual conference of the FORGES network was very rewarding in terms of consolidating partnerships and gathering good practices from other institutions in geographies so different from the UC.
