COFAC has been validated for registration in the European Union Transparency Register

The Cooperative for Cultural Training and Activities, C.R.L. (COFAC), the founding entity of Lusófona University, recently had its official registration in the European Union Transparency Register validated under registration number REG 5395322104596-56.

This validation, issued by the Transparency Register Secretariat, represents an important milestone for our academic and scientific community. By joining this public and mandatory register, COFAC formally demonstrates that it carries out legitimate activities aimed at constructively influencing the policy-making and decision-making processes within European institutions.

What does this entry mean?

The Transparency Register is a database that lists organizations seeking to engage with the European Parliament, the Council, and the European Commission. Effective immediately, the community of researchers and administrators at COFAC/Lusófona University now has official credentials to:

• Participate in public consultations organized by the European Commission, shaping the future of science, education, and culture in Europe.
• To interact directly with European decision-makers, presenting scientific opinions and recommendations based on the research conducted at our institution.
• Ensure streamlined accreditation for events and official delegations at the European Parliament.

With this step, COFAC reaffirms its position as an active and transparent player on the international stage, ensuring that the knowledge generated within the Lusophone ecosystem contributes directly to the European Union’s policy agenda and development.
