Lisbon hosts the "Tour de Capitales" event

The Ministry of Science, Technology, and Higher Education (MCTES), in cooperation with the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), the National Innovation Agency (ANI), and the European Commission (EC), is organizing a European-level event on knowledge valorization. The two-day event aims to bring together representatives from higher education institutions, industry, intermediary organizations, and decision-makers to discuss the challenges and opportunities in knowledge valorization and explore collaborative actions and initiatives to address them.

The main objective of Tour des Capitales is to foster a collaborative environment that promotes the valorization of knowledge, bringing together representatives from academia, industry, intermediary organizations, and decision-makers to discuss the challenges and opportunities in knowledge valorization and explore collaborative solutions and initiatives to address them. The event will contribute to the development of innovative solutions for the valorization of knowledge in Higher Education Institutions and to the establishment of a network of stakeholders interested in the valorization of knowledge.

The initiative focuses on debate and the sharing of experiences between representatives from academia, industry, and international institutions on the different mechanisms for valuing knowledge, which are fundamental for accelerating the adoption of innovative solutions, developing new technologies, products, and services, and leveraging competitiveness and impact on the economy and society.
