The research work "Digitalizing the Pillars of Hybrid Civic Universities", developed by CEGIST members João Leitão and Dina Pereira, within the scope of the R&I LOOP project and funding from the Erasmus+ program, was distinguished with the Best Paper Award, at the annual conference of the Society of Open Innovation (SOI), held from July 6 to 9, at Swansea University in Wales, UK.
The paper revisits the traditional tripartite mission of Higher Education Institutions and, based on a systematic literature review, contributes, in an innovative way, to identify the pillars of Hybrid Civic Universities.
João Leitão was also appointed as a member of the board of SOI, based in Daegu, South Korea.
