🌍 Connecting ideas, building partnerships and creating opportunities. The Centre for Intercultural Studies (CEI) of Porto Technical University (TU Porto) took part in the EEA Grants Roadshow 2026 in the North Region of Portugal.
📍 On 30 September, the event brought together institutions, research centres, public organisations, businesses and cultural stakeholders at LIPOR, in Gondomar, to explore the opportunities offered by the new EEA Grants 2021–2028 funding cycle. 🌍🤝
🔗 The session provided a valuable opportunity to learn more about funding priorities in areas such as culture, green transition, blue growth, and gender-based violence prevention, while fostering dialogue, exchanging ideas and establishing new connections with potential partners and Programme Operators.
💡 CEI’s participation provided an excellent opportunity to strengthen its institutional network, explore potential avenues for international research collaboration and identify new opportunities for projects at the intersection of cultural heritage, intercultural studies, sustainability and gender equality.
🌱 Building meaningful connections and fostering new collaborations are essential to advancing research, innovation and knowledge exchange across borders.
