ESTBarreiro/IPS has worked in partnership with the International Labour Organisation in providing online expertise for their
CIARIS initiative, a Learning and Resources Centre on Social Exclusion built by the
STEP/ILO Program with the support of the Portuguese Government.
A CIARIS training course for online facilitators in
Portugal,
Cape Verde and Guinea Bissau was run in 2005 along with an online course for NGO staff in Guinea Bissau. In 2006 a similar CIARIS course was provided in
Maputo in collaboration with the Centre for African Studies of the
Eduardo Mondlane Universidade.
Under the Socrates Program there has been student and staff exchange with the Politech-Lille of the Université des Sciences e Technologies de Lille. Staff exchange with the
École Centrale de Paris has taken place under the auspices of the GRICES-CNRS.
The college has collaborated with the
Institute of
Education of the
University of London since 2004 in the coordination of Portuguese candidates on its
Online Education and Training course.
