New course coordinators take office

The swearing-in ceremony of the new course coordinators and assistant course coordinators took place this Tuesday, January 12, at Alameda campus – IST Congress Centre. In order to respect the safety standards, the new members were divided into several groups. In total, more than 40 professors were inducted by the president of Técnico, professor Rogério Colaço.

“A very challenging year awaits us, but I do believe that it will not be more difficult than last year. Despite all the constraints caused by the pandemic, we have managed to maintain our activity, responding to challenges. I believe that we will continue on this path”, said the president of Técnico.
