Praia, October 31 (Inforpress) – Uni-CV today launched the Center for Research in Business and Governance (CING), a unit that aims to transform scientific knowledge into direct support for the formulation of public policies and the strengthening of the Cape Verdean business sector.
In statements to the press, on the sidelines of the presentation ceremony, promoted by the School of Business and Governance of Uni-CV, the director of CING, António Baptista, explained that the center arises within the framework of ongoing reforms at the university to consolidate "a robust and articulated research ecosystem" aligned with the challenges of national development.
