UNIVERSIDADE NOVA DE LISBOA
Universidade NOVA de Lisboa was founded in 1973
and has currently more than 19500 students, 1591
teachers and researchers, and 679 non-faculty staff.
Proud of its youth as one of the most recent public
universities within the Lisbon metropolitan area, NOVA spans through three municipalities, shortly, in four.
NOVA integrates 41 research units, 37 of which are funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia
- FCT (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology), including 3 associated laboratories (in
partnership with other Portuguese research institutions).
The excellent quality of research in many areas is also a cornerstone in the international culture of NOVA.
Besides intense exchanges in the European space, NOVA also develops cooperation ties with Brazil and
Portuguese-speaking countries, Latin-American countries as well as other regions of the world.
The university is also actively involved in cooperation actions promoted by the Portuguese Government, in
particular with North-American universities, such as the University of Texas at Austin (UTA), the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), namely in
master’s courses and doctoral and research programmes.
The singularity of the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa project lies in its respect for the individuality of each
Academic Unit, each having acquired its image and prestige within the freedom, diversity and tolerance that
have been the guidelines of NOVA. One further aim of the project is the strengthening of the cohesion
between units in order to take the best possible advantage of the synergies that can thus be generated and
developed.
This clear option for a unique but diversified identity, working not only as a network of institutions but also of
projects, people and resources, characterizes NOVA as a university that is open to the world and willing to
take part in the challenges presented by the 21st century.

THE CITY OF LISBON
HISTORY
Legend tells us Lisbon was founded by Ulisses during one of his famous journeys, but science has proved
that as far back as Neolithic times it was already well populated, and to this day the footprints of one of the
region’s first visitors – the dinosaurs – still stand proud. The name comes from “Olissipo”, which has its
origins in the Phoenician words “Allis Ubbo”, meaning “enchanting port”.
Lisbon is the capital city of Portugal and lies on the north bank of the Tagus estuary where it broadens to
enter the Atlantic Ocean. It is the westernmost city in mainland Europe and lies more or less in the centre of
the country: approximately 300 km from the Algarve in the south, and 400 km from the northern border with
Spain. Approximately 600 000 people live in Lisbon. However, if one includes the various satellite towns,
Lisbon is Portugal’s largest city and its cultural, administrative, commercial and industrial hub.
Built on seven hills overlooking the Tagus river, the very soul of the city, Lisbon, the muse that inspired the
great maritime discoveries, stands proudly at the Atlantic Ocean. The memories of this golden age – when
Lisbon became the capital city of the realm and one of the most famous and cosmopolitan centres of 16 th
century Europe, are etched in stone, in the Torre de Belém, Mosteiro dos Jerónimos and Padrão dos
Descobrimentos, which have perpetuated the memory of that period and been classified as world heritage
sites.
Either in or near Lisbon you will find whatever you are looking for: beaches, countryside, mountains and
areas of historical interest. Lisbon is a historic capital, a potpourri of unusual character and charm, where
800 years of cultural influences mingle with modern trends and life styles creating spectacular contrasts.
