T4EU Week "Beyond Borders" Selected Students Announcement

After a rigorous selection process from the applications received for the Transform4Europe Week "Beyond Borders" (call nº001/2024), the Transform4Europe at UCP has the name of the five students chosen to participate in this enriching experience.

The application process for this activity was initiated by UCP on March 11th, with applications open until April 8th. The jury was overwhelmed by the response, with nearly 60 candidates demonstrating not only their academic excellence but also the quality of their proposals for research projects to be undertaken during the event. Their innovative ideas and commitment to knowledge entrepreneurship stood out, promising to enrich the Transform4Europe experience for all participants. The selection committee faced a challenging task due to the high quality of applicants and the diverse backgrounds and interests they represented.

Despite the difficulty in choosing, we are delighted to introduce the five selected students who exhibited exceptional potential and a keen interest in embracing the opportunities presented by the Transform4Europe initiative.
