Support and promotion of cultural reference platforms, namely:
Plataforma 9
The cultural portal publishes news about training, research, conferences, publications, project funding, and employment opportunities related to Portuguese-speaking cultures.
The portal was launched in 2014 by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the International Association of Lusitanists to enable the networking of national and international institutions and programmes dedicated to the Portuguese language and to the diversity of cultures in Portuguese.
Hpip
This portal functions as an inventory of the architectural and urban heritage of Portuguese influence existing in several parts of the world. The project was set up in 2007 by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation under the direction of José Mattoso, and has been managed by four Portuguese universities on a rotating basis: Universidade de Évora, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Universidade Técnica de Lisboa and Universidade de Coimbra.
