The rector of the Polytechnic University of Portalegre, Luís Loures, defended the importance of coordination between academia and municipalities to support local strategic decision-making. During his interventions, Loures emphasized that this cooperation is today decisive for territorial development.
The rector believes that the joint work between the university and the municipalities can generate differentiating choices for the territory. This collaboration aims to strengthen the region through joint initiatives that benefit both parties.
The presented context indicates that the Portalegre region continues to be accustomed to facing greater difficulties, which reinforces the need for strategic partnerships between academic and local institutions to overcome the economic and social challenges of the area.
