On the 25th, the School of Engineering hosted the SRH University Heldelberg of Germany, which was represented by Belen Zevallos, a scientific staff at that institution, and Sylvia Schneider, dual-degree coordinator. The German delegation was received by the Vice-President of EEUM, António Vicente, and the academic coordinators of the Departments of Industrial Electronics and Production and Systems, Professor João Sena Esteves and Professor Senhorinha Teixeira, respectively.

The visit followed the recent conclusion of an Erasmus agreement between the two institutions, involving the Department of Production and Systems. Possibilities for cooperation with the Department of Industrial Electronics and the ALGORITMI Center were also discussed, based on the interest of both universities.
