I have led the study on UK-Portugal TNE partnerships and co-authored the report in collaboration with Professor Amélia Veiga from the University of Porto. Delighted to see the findings contribute to this inspiring event co-organised on 10-11 Feb 2026 by British Council and British Embassy Lisbon, bringing together 30 Portuguese and British higher education institutions, national agencies, and business partners. The positive energy and engagement from all delegates strongly suggest very promising outcomes ahead - looking forward to seeing these collaborations flourish. Education connects cultures, builds trust, shapes values, and helps create brighter futures for all.
