The Municipality of Porto has presented the Porto University District, an ambitious initiative aimed at strengthening the city’s position as a recognised university hub that attracts and retains talent. The project seeks to create a common policy and identity for Porto as a university city, bringing together higher education institutions, students and the wider urban community in a shared ecosystem of knowledge and innovation.
Developed in collaboration with the city’s higher education institutions and the Academic Federation of Porto (FAP), the initiative will establish a unified brand and foster closer cooperation between academia and the municipality. According to city officials, the project goes beyond occasional collaboration, aiming instead to build a lasting collective identity that generates shared value and encourages systematic interaction between all stakeholders. Pedro Duarte, President of the Porto City Council, has argued that the collaboration between institutions is key to strengthening Porto’s role as a hub of talent.
