The NAU platform is a service developed and managed by the FCCN Unit of the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) that allows the creation of courses in MOOC format (Massive Open Online Course), that is, courses open and accessible to all, produced by recognized and relevant entities in society, with the participation of thousands of people.
This platform is part of the transversal actions of the Portugal INCoDe.2030 initiative by promoting digital development, digital inclusion and literacy, education and qualification of the active population. INCoDe.2030 finds in NAU a tool that contributes to greater access to knowledge and to the development of skills, making the population more qualified.
The funding for the NAU project comes from the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union and the COMPETE 2020 Community Operational Program, within the framework of the Portugal 2020 Framework, with project number 02 / SAMA2020 / 2016.
