The city of Penafiel, right in the heart of the Douro Litoral, has a relevant geographical position, close to the main historical centers in the north of Portugal. Penafiel is a municipality with a strong tourist vocation and appeal. Its expressions of interest span several areas, such as its heritage, gastronomy, natural landscapes, traditions, fairs and festivities, to which are added the built tourist structures. For all this, Penafiel is part of the Castros and Verracos Route of the Hispano-Lusa Border, the Romanesque Route, the Lamprey Route and the Vinho Verde Route. |  |
 | In Penafiel, ISCE Douro has been training citizens since 2015 and we are a reference higher education institution throughout Tâmega e Sousa, and Douro, actively contributing to local and regional development, in partnership with partner entities, retaining people, producing new dynamics social and making this region more attractive on a daily basis. An institution dedicated to teaching, guided research and the provision of services, it develops its activity in the areas of Education, Social, Tourism, Sports, Arts and Multimedia. |
As it continues its activity, ISCE Douro will host CISIET 2023 on the 4th, 5th and 6th of October, an international congress that will be held this year for the first time in Europe. Our institute, which is one of the co-organizing institutions of the Congress, will be represented by Prof. Doctor Ricardo Martins, administrator and representative of the founding entity of ISCE who will be responsible for one of the conferences.
This year's edition has the participation of researchers from Portugal, Peru, Mexico, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Chile and Colombia. The congress aims to establish horizons of meaning for the transformation of practices and the dissemination of knowledge in the fields of Research-Education-Technology.
As an organizing entity, ISCE Douro offers free registration for our students and teachers, so we invite teachers and students to take advantage of this opportunity to give international notoriety to their research work and present communications for publication. Interested parties should send a summary of their communications to cisiet@pedagogica.edu.co by the end of June.
