In 2025, the researchers of the Centre for Intercultural Studies (CEI/ISCAP-P.PORTO) strengthened their international presence by joining new COST Actions — European research networks funded by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).
These new collaborations expand the internationalization, diversity, and impact of CEI’s research, connecting it to emerging and transversal themes: sustainability, digital democracy, critical pedagogies, the blue economy, active ageing, inclusive arts, linguistic plurality, and climate resilience.
