MIT and Portugal to launch major research and education initiative

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Portuguese Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education today announced plans to enter into a long-term collaboration to significantly expand research and education in engineering and management across many of Portugal's top national universities. [...] the excellence of the research identified in Portuguese research centers throughout the assessment exercise recommends that MIT foster joint ventures with Portuguese institutions. [...] The educational and research initiatives will give MIT an opportunity to gain insight into the planning, design and implementation of transportation, energy, manufacturing and bioengineering systems in Portugal, all critical sectors of the global economy. Faculty will be encouraged to make new educational material publicly available through MIT OpenCourseWare.
