Launch of the NAU Project

The NAU Project is a public administration initiative for distance learning and training for large audiences. The project launch session will take place on September 27, at 9:30 a.m., at the Pavilion of Knowledge, with the presence of the various entities that make up the consortium.

NAU is a platform through which the Public Administration and Higher Education will offer online courses in various formats, on multiple topics, and to a large number of users. This project arises from a need to combine the efforts of the Public Administration in a large-capacity infrastructure for the provision of online courses.

The project, initiated by FCT through its FCCN unit, already involves the participation of several ministries and will enable the development of training activities for a larger number of employees and citizens with greater frequency and quality, reducing costs. It will be a pioneering platform at the national level, based on the Portuguese language, which will cross seas and be a point of reference for Portuguese culture in the digital space. The training offer will be diverse and may also include content in MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) format.

This formal ceremony at the Pavilion of Knowledge will feature two keynote speakers, who will provide a broader perspective on this initiative. Catherine Mongenet, CEO of France Université Numérique and head of the France Université Numérique project, will share her insights on the French experience in this area, and Pedro Guedes de Oliveira, Coordinator of INCoDe.2030, will discuss how the NAU Platform can be integrated with the national digital skills initiative.
