Portuguese government renews partnerships with US universities after positive audit report

    Members of Portugal’s Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation are shown the facilities and labs at the Cockrell School of Engineering at UT Austin on November 8, 2024.

    The Portuguese government has approved the renewal of the three partnerships with US universities – including the University of Texas at Austin – for another six years, from 2025 to 2030. The decision comes after a positive opinion resulting from an independent audit process, which also culminated in a recommendation to renew the partnerships.
