The work on G&G I have been involved with builds on the results of the program of work I managed at the OECD Development Centre in 2001-2003. A special emphasis on the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP, aka lusofonia), follows from the protocol of collaboration between IICT and CPLP, signed on 10 March, 2004.

On 18 February the Faculty Council restricted to Associate and Full Professors (CRAC) was briefed on CG&G.

 

Meanwhile agreements had been signed with the Diplomatic Institute, DES@IICT and the Institute for Advanced Study of the Academy of Science of Lisbon

Comittee of Lusophone Communities (CCL)

On 31 March, 2008, after eight years of interruption CCL resumed its activities at the Lisbon Geographical Society, as duly noted at the annual board meeting of SGL, on that day. At the 7 April meeting, a close collaboration was decided with the Committee on Internmational Relations, beginning with a joint initiative on Macau, featuring general Rocha Vieira, on June 2. Another dinner involved dr Mario Machungo, former prime minister of Mozambique, in the presence of students of ABC, a course offered by CG&G in January 2009
