Workshop CTAC | Cidades e Território - Desafios e Oportunidades

No quadro da sua política de interação e cooperação estreita com a sociedade, o CTAC elege a partilha do conhecimento científico produzido e a auscultação dos seus parceiros principais (empresas, autarquias e outras entidades públicas), como metodologia prática para o estabelecimento dos seus programas de investigação futuros. Por isso, o CTAC promoveu o Workshop “Cidades e Território – Desafios e Oportunidades” que teve lugar no campus de Azurém da Universidade do Minho em Guimarães, no passado dia 28 do mês de abril do corrente ano.
