Participate in the Transform4Europe (T4EU) Chair Programme

Professors from the Universidade Católica Portuguesa can take part in the Transform4Europe Chair Programme, an initiative that promotes academic mobility and international collaboration.

Under this programme, guest lecturers have the opportunity to teach, participate in innovative pedagogical activities and establish partnerships for research projects at any of the nine partner universities of the T4EU alliance.

Participants will benefit from logistical and financial support from the host universities, including accommodation and additional support, depending on the specifics of each institution. Teaching and extracurricular activities will be defined individually by each partner university.

The programme is structured around three main themes:

  1. Social transformation, community building and inclusion
  2. Digital transformation and the development of smart regions
  3. Environmental transformation and sustainability


In addition, participants can use the Connect for Research tool, which facilitates the search for partners and the identification of research themes being worked on by the partner universities, promoting more effective and targeted collaboration.

This is an excellent opportunity for lecturers who want to expand their academic network, share knowledge and take part in research projects with an international impact.
