The announcement was made at the Guarda Polytechnic Institute at the formal opening of the 2021/22 academic year.
The Secretary of State for Science, Technology and Higher Education, José Sobrinho Teixeira, announced Friday that the Portuguese government would provide 375 million euros for student residences, according to an article in the Observador.
According to Mr Teixeira, applicants may submit bids beginning later this week. These may include higher education institutions, municipalities, solidarity institutions, and consortiums.
The announcement was made at the formal opening of the academic year 2021/22 at the Guarda Polytechnic Institute. The Observador reported that the university president, Joaquim Brigas, was aware of the significant difficulties in finding affordable, high-quality accommodations and that many students who choose that university are forced to go to other places due to the scarcity of student residences.
