On January 15, the Santander Scholarships & Students Initiatives Recap 2024 ceremony was held at the Técnico Innovation Center.

The event aimed to celebrate the various initiatives and support promoted by the Santander Foundation, in partnership with Técnico, with a main focus on the areas of Education, Entrepreneurship and Employability. The ceremony featured the award of scholarships and support for teachers and researchers, as well as support for student groups.

During the event, the Santander Foundation and Técnico awarded the Técnico-Santander Educação scholarships, aimed at students with socio-economic needs, and the mobility scholarships, which enable study experiences outside Portugal.

The event included two central panels. The first, moderated by Professor Pedro Brogueira, was dedicated to support for students and teachers, highlighting the testimonies of beneficiaries of different grants, such as PAX-IAX, Técnico-Santander Mobilidade and Técnico-Santander Educação. The second panel, moderated by Professor Pedro Amaral, dealt with support for student groups, with the participation of representatives from projects that won awards in the CA2ECTécnico competition.

The ceremony was also marked by the awarding of prizes to 27 student branch projects, such as FST Lisboa, NEEGI and TSB. With the support of the Santander Foundation, groups such as Game Dev Técnico, IEEE IST Student Branch and many others can continue to develop their projects and activities.
