Summary
The University of Coimbra – Alta and Sofia was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on June 22, 2013, marking a significant milestone in its centuries-long history. This recognition was the result of a meticulous process led by two key projects under the Rectorship: the Gabinete Paço das Escolas and the Gabinete de Candidatura à UNESCO, established in March and October 2004, respectively. These initiatives played a pivotal role in shaping the university's candidacy, drawing on extensive documentary and bibliographic research to highlight its historical significance and cultural influence. The study delves into the contributions of political-conceptual protagonists, theorists, and decision-makers who were instrumental in this endeavor.
