Posted date: 13 Apr 2020

The collaboration platform U!REKA is strengthening its presence in Europe with the addition of two new institutional partners: Politécnico de Lisboa (IPL) and Technical University of Ostrava (VSB-TUO). By expanding its membership to include universities of applied sciences in Portugal and the Czech Republic, U!REKA is establishing itself as an increasingly diversified and comprehensive European network for the exchange of knowledge between higher education institutions.

The Urban Research and Education Knowledge Alliance (U!REKA) is a vibrant partnership of urban-focused higher education institutions (HEIs) across Europe. Established in 2016, its ambition is to educate, shape and deliver the EU professionals of tomorrow who will be contributing to an inclusive, intercultural and open minded professional Europe.

“Joining the U!REKA consortium brings our institution strategic added value as well as smart and sustainable educational benefits for our students and staff. It will strengthen our ability to forge solutions to urban issues in Lisbon and beyond. IPL’s board is pleased to join this growing network of institutions committed to internationalisation and urban innovation,” says Ana Christina Perdigao, IPL Vice President of Politécnico de Lisboa.
