IPAM and Universidade Europeia launch initiative to boost academic success

This partnership gave rise to the SuPERA programme - Support for Promoting and Stimulating Academic Achievement, which has been supported under the Recovery and Resilience Programme (PRR) and will therefore be developed at the three institutions between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2026. Among the expected impacts will be an increase in the percentage of students who complete their studies and the prevention of academic dropouts. In addition, there will be various actions aimed at strengthening self-learning and teamwork practices.

SuPERA will cover the entire student community, which will have access to an Office for Supporting Diversity and Promoting Academic Success and a team of Pedagogical Tutors who will be supported by innovative software for controlling and monitoring academic success and dropouts. These strategies will consolidate the U.E's and IPAM's commitment to academic integration, as well as pedagogical innovation and modernisation.

This initiative seeks to respond to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, contributing to quality education (SDG4), reducing inequalities (SDG10), as well as valuing peace, justice and effective institutions (SDG16).

The SuPERA project has received funding of 588,739.00 euros from the Recovery and Resilience Plan through the Impulso MAIS Digital programme, the physical and financial implementation of which is the responsibility of the Direção-Geral do Ensino Superior.
