The CA2ECTécnico is a competition that aims to support extracurricular activities promoted by student groups at Instituto Superior Técnico. The CA2ECTécnico awards were delivered this Wednesday, December 15, at Técnico – Alameda campus. 19 projects were supported by Santander Bank worth €20,000.
The vice-president of Técnico for Financial Management, Doctor Isabel Dias, who was part of the jury, highlighted the importance of these awards that recognise “the students’ capacity for resilience and effort”.
“Extracurricular activities allow students to develop diversified and complementary skills”, stressed the Head of Santander Universities, Dr Cristina Neves. “We consider that the activities developed by the student groups, as complementary activities to the pedagogical and scientific activity that you have in your daily life, and which is one of the most complete that exists in Europe, are key to develop skills for your future”, she added.
Beatriz Isidro, student vice president of the Pedagogical Council (CP), highlighted the exponential growth in the number of student groups, which shows that students want to innovate and to develop quality projects, and also “reflects the working capacity of Técnico students”. “It’s absolutely extraordinary to see how innovative you are. I can’t even imagine what it would be like if there were more incentives like this”, she said.
All student groups representatives thanked Santander and Técnico for their vote of confidence and support.
