The cooperation protocol with the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora [Saint Vincent Outside the Walls] was mediated by its governing body, the Lisbon Patriarchate, and signed on 30 March 2020. It is primarily aimed at the cooperation in common activities and projects related to research in Art History, and particularly on azulejos; the joint organization of scientific and cultural outreach activities, such as conferences, colloquia, tours, book publications or even exhibitions that are in the interest of both parties; and the collaboration and mutual support in publicizing activities aimed at the preservation of tile heritage. 

All activities undertaken in the context of this protocol will be mediated by specific agreements, which will establish the details of the cooperation. The first of these agreements focused on the inventory of the lower cloisters, in the context of an MA research project.
