In addition to the Partner Days held from September 15 to 17, University of Pau and Pays de l’Adour (UPPA) hosted a delegation from Universidade Federal de Viçosa on September 17 and 18, consisting of three representatives from this Brazilian university, a member of the GEMINAE network: Raul Guedes, Odemir Baeta, and Karla Damiano.
During their visit, these professors met with leaders of the Global Health and Cultural Heritage thematic hubs, the Directors of various colleges, the leaders of Work Package 4 (WP4), and several members of the teaching staff. They also had the opportunity to explore the CHORAL program in greater depth.
Potential avenues for collaboration were identified on the Basque Coast campus, particularly with the MIAL Master’s program. Throughout these enriching and intensive discussions, the three researchers reaffirmed their commitment to intensifying collaboration with the UPPA and continuing the existing partnerships. Viçosa is already a partner of the UPPA in an Erasmus Mundus Design Measure project on the didactics of Romance languages, as well as in a Capacity Building initiative, which builds on the CONNECT-UNITA cooperation partnership. Additionally, an interuniversity cooperation agreement is currently being developed.
The UPPA is pleased to see this partnership continue to flourish.
