Last June, two representatives from Carinthia University of Applied Sciences (CUAS), in Austria, visited the Santarém Polytechnic University (IPSantarém), in Portugal, within the framework of the ACE²-EU Alliance. The two Programme Directors affiliated with CUAS School of Management were invited by the Director of IPSantarém’s School of Management & Technology (ESGT) to explore opportunities for future joint initiatives, such as joint courses, short learning opportunities and the potential for joint degree programmes. During their visit, they had the opportunity to meet and engage with several ESGT and other IP Santarém colleagues and tour the school’s facilities.
The ACE²-EU Alliance aims to strengthen ties between partner institutions and promote the co-creation of educational, research, and societal initiatives. Building meaningful interpersonal connections between staff from across the alliance is at the heart of these efforts, and visits like this one play a crucial role in achieving that goal.
