University of Évora, Portugal

We are currently a modern University, with quality Research Centres, evaluated by international panels of the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT), with highly qualified teachers, integrating international networks and mobility programs that provide its students and professors with opportunities to contact other countries. We have a strong relationship with businesses and industries, always trying that the produced knowledge does not become confined to our historical walls. The knowledge of the various areas of our activity should be a tool for economic and social development. In a permanent process of transferring knowledge and technology, our students are able to establish profitable relations with the productive fabric and with culture, preparing them for the demanding challenges of a society in an accelerated process of structural transformation. All this together with a good human and affective environment, where it is easy to make friends and enjoy an intense cultural life, where study is joined by pleasure, where teachers are easily reached and helpful in answering questions and coaching all training pathways. Due to all these aspects, fundamental to any integrated education, today the University of Évora strengthens its position, more than ever, as a genuine academic community.
