This partnership will allow FCT and IGFEJ to share resources, namely in the areas of communication and systems. At the signing ceremony, which took place at FCT, the president of the Foundation's Board of Directors, Paulo Ferrão, recalled that this protocol is "a good example of public cooperation." On the other hand, Nuno Fonseca, Director of IGFEJ's Support Services Department, welcomed the signing, stating that "there are many areas of mutual interest" to both institutions.
