"Porto City Hall is a unifying force within the city, which holds culture and knowledge as the main factors towards a civic experience that is open and world driven".

The municipality was awarded the Merit Medal by the Polytechnic of Porto. Mayor Rui Moreira received the medal on behalf of the City Hall, in the context of the celebration of the 33rd anniversary of the Higher Education Institution, which took place at the Superior Institute of Engineering of Porto.

The outgoing President of this institution, Rosário Gamboa, has highlighted the significant role of Porto City Hall as a "unifying force within the city", and a partner that stood out in the past eight years, at all times and in various areas, namely Culture, Environment, Entrepreneurship and R&D.

Rosário Gamboa stressed that the "greatest win" of the Polytechnic of Porto throughout these years was the fact that it was able to build a strong network of partners, and together they have carried out relevant projects and initiatives regarding policy implementation, support to cultural activities, knowledge transfer and entrepreneurship or R&D.

"Porto City Hall is a special partner in this path of revamping the institution's role in society, foreseeing partnership opportunities and new projects to build a new future".
