The signing of the Protocol, which took place alongside the Open Day programme, aims to strengthen training for careers in the engineering sector. With this partnership now formalised, degrees taught by Ciências ULisboa may, subject to assessment by OEng, receive the EUR-ACE seal, which serves as a European benchmark for professional accreditation.
The Protocol now signed also provides for many other measures relating to accreditation, training and professional qualifications.
OEng was present at the Open Day of Ciências ULisboa, with a information point to answer questions and register new members.
