Technical University of Porto is 'historic moment' for the North and higher education

RTP Notícias1 September 2026 at 16:00

The Technical University of Porto (UTP), which results from the transition of the former polytechnic, saw its management bodies take office today, in a milestone that marks a new phase for the institution.

Rector Paulo Pereira classified this moment as 'historic', highlighting the importance of this transformation both for the North region and for Portuguese higher education in general.

The UTP emerges as a higher education institution that assumes a new statute, representing a significant change in the structure of the educational system of the region.

This event reflects the changes in the higher education landscape in Portugal, with the creation of a technical university that aims to strengthen the educational offerings and research in the North of the country.

Dark Horse: Vorcaro would have transferred US$ 1.6 million to film about Bolsonaro, magazine says

Businessman Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master, would have transferred more than US$ 1.6 million to the production of the film "Dark Horse," a biopic about former President Jair Bolsonaro. The payment was made on September 16, 2025, according to a report from Coaf obtained by Piauí magazine. The documentation indicates that the financial relationship between Vorcaro and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro extended longer than the parliamentarian had previously admitted. The new transfer occurred eight days after Flavio sent messages demanding overdue installments for the film's production. When commenting on the story, Flavio stated that the questions should be directed to the project's funder.
