At the press conference, the President of IPV, Jos\u00e9 Costa, emphasized the importance of the meeting in the context of strengthening local territories and their institutions:<\/p>\n
\u00abWe are here to discuss issues that are important to the regions we are part of. Higher education is at the core of this journey, with permanent working groups dedicated to research. Ultimately, we are looking for new development opportunities, involving institutions that represent around 300,000 students and thousands of faculty members. The goal is to project these territories, which are essential to the progress of their populations.\u00bb<\/p>\n
During the meeting, the role of CRUSOE as a driving force for cross-border integration and collaboration was highlighted. CRUSOE President, Conchi Lopez, reinforced this vision by stating:<\/p>\n
\u00abAt the European level, CRUSOE is the foundation of what will become the future university network of the Atlantic Arc. We are also advancing in the management of the working groups \u2013 there are already eight, established over the years in response to the regions\u2019 interests and their research and development priorities. Universities are applying their knowledge to directly contribute to these regional strategies.\u00bb<\/p>\n
CRUSOE currently has eight active working groups \u2014 including Digital Cultural Heritage, Smart Mobility and Transport, Sustainable Energy, Water and Sustainable Development, Competitive Agri-food Systems, Digital Society, Healthy Living, Ageing and Longevity, and Ecological Transition and Global Change. It was agreed, in collaboration with governments, to define the types of support to be provided to the various observatories within these groups, as well as support for applications to European projects.<\/p>\n
In this context, new working groups are being established within CRUSOE and will begin their activities shortly. \u201cWith this, we will complete the 10 groups that will form the pillars of the structure we are building,\u201d said Salustiano Mato de la Iglesia, Executive President of the General Technical Secretariat of CRUSOE.<\/p>\n
The Ordinary General Assembly also included activities outside the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu, such as a reception at the City Hall, another in Lamego, and a visit to a winery.<\/p>\n
The CRUSOE General Assembly at IPV thus stood out as a key moment for consolidating academic cooperation within the RESOE (Southwestern European Region), affirming the role of higher education institutions as active agents in the transformation of the territories they serve.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=\u00bbin_container\u00bb full_screen_row_position=\u00bbmiddle\u00bb column_margin=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_direction=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_direction_tablet=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_direction_phone=\u00bbdefault\u00bb scene_position=\u00bbcenter\u00bb text_color=\u00bbdark\u00bb text_align=\u00bbleft\u00bb row_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb row_border_radius_applies=\u00bbbg\u00bb overflow=\u00bbvisible\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3″ gradient_direction=\u00bbleft_to_right\u00bb shape_divider_position=\u00bbbottom\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb][vc_column column_padding=\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00bb column_padding_tablet=\u00bbinherit\u00bb column_padding_phone=\u00bbinherit\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00bball\u00bb column_element_direction_desktop=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_element_spacing=\u00bbdefault\u00bb desktop_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb tablet_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb phone_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ background_hover_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ column_backdrop_filter=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb column_position=\u00bbdefault\u00bb gradient_direction=\u00bbleft_to_right\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3″ width=\u00bb1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=\u00bbdefault\u00bb animation_type=\u00bbdefault\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb border_type=\u00bbsimple\u00bb column_border_width=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb][vc_gallery css=\u00bb\u00bb type=\u00bbflickity_style\u00bb images=\u00bb54592,54582,54562,54572″ flickity_spacing=\u00bbdefault\u00bb flickity_controls=\u00bbpagination\u00bb flickity_overflow=\u00bbhidden\u00bb flickity_wrap_around=\u00bbwrap\u00bb flickity_desktop_columns=\u00bb1″ flickity_small_desktop_columns=\u00bb1″ flickity_tablet_columns=\u00bb1″ flickity_phone_columns=\u00bb1″ flickity_box_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb image_loading=\u00bbdefault\u00bb onclick=\u00bblink_no\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
