Member Of
The increasing globalisation of teaching, research and innovation activities has led to the development of international networks and partnerships between science and technology schools that reflect on best practice in teaching, research and innovation and provide a multinational and multicultural experience for their students. In this context, IST actively participates in several networks (e.g. CLUSTER, CESAER, MAGALHÃES, TIME) and international programmes (e.g. EIT Health, EIT Innoenergy) that aim at promoting the strategic presence of Técnico in the international sphere, the participation in projects and/or mobility in undergraduate or post-graduate programmes.
