Education and Pedagogical Innovation
Programme Introduction
The study cycle aims at developing skills that allow students to update, reflect, intervene and innovate in diverse educational contexts, taking into account differentiation, equity, transversality, quality and inclusion. The skills developed in this EC make it possible to reinforce the contribution to regional and national development, in an integrative, inclusive and quality strategy, which promotes educational success, serving both school networks and education and training establishments, non-formal and informal education , or national and international partners, providing new innovative opportunities for education training and research.
It aims to promote collaborations with other study cycles, with ongoing institutional projects and a close articulation with the Centro de Estudos em Educação e Inovação (CI&DEI), research unit of the school, through linking students to research projects in the field of education.
