Launch of the NAU Project

The NAU Project is a public administration initiative for distance learning and training for large audiences. The project's launch session will take place on September 27, at 9:30 a.m., at the Pavilhão do Conhecimento, 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 make online courses available in various formats, on multiple topics and to a large number of users. This project arises from a need to aggregate the efforts of the Public Administration into a high-capacity infrastructure for making online courses available.

The project, initiated by the FCT, through its FCCN unit, and which already involves the participation of various ministries, will make it possible to develop training courses for a greater number of officials and citizens with greater frequency and quality, while reducing costs. It will be a pioneering platform at 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 multiple and may also include content in MOOC format - Massive Open Online Course.

This protocol ceremony at the Pavilion of Knowledge will feature two keynote speakers, who will frame this initiative from a broader perspective. Catherine Mongenet, CEO of France Université Numérique and head of the "France Université Numérique" project, will give her account of 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.
