Publication date: 16 January 2025 | Report language: EN
The purpose of this report is to present the findings of the international partnership’s programmes established with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin), aiming to provide evidence, a reasoned analysis of the results, and a perspective on future development options to inform a position on the possible renewal of the international partnerships agreements. Established in 2006, the international partnerships programmes evolved and adapted over three distinct phases:
- Phase 1 (2006-2012): Part of the Portuguese government’s strategic plan to enhance national scientific and technological capacity.
- Phase 2 (2013-2017): Expanded its focus on entrepreneurship and innovation, despite Portugal’s financial and economic crisis.
- Phase 3 (2018-2024): Operated under the GoPortugal framework, despite pandemic related disruptions.
