KreativEU took part in the 2026 edition of the Festa Templária in Tomar, held from 9 to 12 July.

The seminar "The Foundation of the Castle" brought together academics and experts to discuss topics related to medieval history, cultural heritage and European cooperation. The opening session featured Célio Gonçalo Marques, Secretary-General of KreativEU and the Vice-President of the Polytechnic University of Tomar.

The alliance's international dimension was reflected in the participation of academics from KreativEU partner institutions. Among the invited speakers were Silviu Miloiu, Professor at Valahia University of Târgoviște (Romania), and Lucia Nováková, Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Classical Archaeology at Trnava University (Slovakia). Through their presentations, they contributed to the exchange of knowledge and perspectives on history, archaeology, cultural heritage and European cooperation.

Throughout the festival, visitors also had the opportunity to learn more about KreativEU at the exhibition stand, where the Polytechnic University of Tomar presented the alliance's activities, educational opportunities, collaborative projects and international initiatives.
