In yesterday's online conference, under the theme "The Economy of Cities in the post-pandemic", the case of the city of Porto was addressed, as well as the municipality's vision on the importance and capacity of attraction and retention of talents, as a decisive element of affirmation of the city. The conference was attended by over a hundred participants and was moderated by the Dean of FEP, José Varejão.
