The Universidade Nova de Lisboa (UNL) is a higher education institution with internationally recognized research and quality teaching that ensures high levels of professional success to its students and provides essential services to the community, at both national and international levels. Established in 1973, the University adopted a new model within the Portuguese system that stressed interdisciplinary approaches, technological developments while, at the same time, safeguarding offerings in traditional academic domains including medicine, sciences, and humanities. Since its inception, NOVA has aimed to innovate higher education in Portugal and to contribute to the social and economic development of the country. Nova School of Business and Economics provides an excellent level of higher education and research. We aim to produce graduates and postgraduates equipped for the marketplace. Our high-quality and innovative courses are geared to providing the knowledge and skills required and are regularly reviewed to aim at best practices. Our teaching is rigorous, and benefits from the stimulus of a wide range of electives, international recruitment, and exchange programs. Our intellectual environment will attract and stimulate both Faculty and students. Serve the wider community and advance knowledge. We influence economic policy and improve business practice, through the provision of executive education, and consultancy services. We conduct pure and applied research, which is scholarly, relevant, and rated internationally. Profit from our strengths. As a combined school of Economics, Finance, and Management, we benefit from the synergy between these disciplines. Our research underpins the quality of our teaching. By embracing international perspectives and harnessing the local experience, we create a positive environment for education and research. The vision states how the School would like to see itself as an organization in a near future. “Our vision is to be among the best in Europe” The School has strived since its beginning, almost 30 years ago, to serve the local market, benchmarking international standards and practices. This was also always regarded as the only way to fulfill our mission to prepare our students to compete with graduates from international schools, and to transfer scientific knowledge to our corporate and government clients. More broadly, this was always regarded as the only way to overcome the predicaments of Portugal’s regional, cultural and economic confinement – located at the southwest tip of Europe, landlocked from continental Europe by a powerful and aggressive neighbor and relatively poor. Presently, the School is in the process of moving from the “import model” of the past (“providing local students with the best methods and practices the world had to offer”) to an “export model”, where the key challenge is to compete in the market of “tradable” (internationally mobile national and international) students. Overall quality is critical but a distinctive value proposition will certainly result from leveraging on assets that are unique to a Business and Economics school in Portugal: the Portuguese culture and language -dominant in countries with global importance such as Brazil and Angola.

Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Lisboa –ESEL- (Lisbon School of Nursing) was set up by Decree Law no. 175/2004 of 21 July and stems from the merger of four public higher schools of nursing in Lisbon – Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Artur Ravara Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Calouste Gulbenkian de Lisboa Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Francisco Gentil and Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Maria Fernanda Resende. Its statutes were approved by Regulatory Order no. 16/2009 of 7 April (Government’s Official Gazette, 2nd Series – No. 68 - 7 April 2009), and its first management bodies – Governing Council, Pedagogical Council, and School Assembly - took office on 24 September 2007. The origin of this process dates back to 2001 with the publication of Decree-Law no. 99/2001 of 28 March as a result of the need to address the necessity to articulate synergies essential to the development of nursing education and the profession itself. The decision to set up a single school was made freely and involved making a shared development plan and implementing several joint projects. The School inherited a unique heritage from the four prestigious institutions that were behind its genesis, which underpins its references: - Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Artur Ravara, formerly called Escola Profissional de Enfermeiros (1901) and Escola de Enfermagem de Artur Ravara (1930), was the first public school of nursing in Portugal. Its origin dates back to the 19th century, with the creation, in 1886, of the first course for the training of nurses at S. José Hospital. For over 120 years, it was an irrefutable reference in the history of Portuguese nursing. - Escola Superior de Enfermagem Francisco Gentil was set up in 1940 and was then known as Escola Técnica de Enfermeiras do Instituto Português de Oncologia. It was directed by Doctor Francisco Gentil, who was committed to ensuring the training of qualified nurses in Portugal to contribute to the improvement of health care with their scientific and human skills. Sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation, it was under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education. - Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Calouste Gulbenkian, in Lisbon, originated in 1957 with the name Escola de Enfermagem do Hospital de Santa Maria and was established at the opening of the Teaching Hospital of Lisbon, currently Santa Maria Hospital. In 1968, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation funded the construction and the equipment of the buildings of the Calouste Gulbenkian School of Nursing of Lisbon and the Female Students Residence, which opened in 1972. It pioneered students associations in nursing and its 50 years of existence, aiming at offering quality initial training, it graduated about 5,000 nurses. - Escola Superior de Enfermagem Maria Fernanda Resende was the name adopted in 1986 by the then Escola Pós-Básica de Lisboa, in memory of nurse Maria Fernanda Resende (1923-1988), whose work greatly marked the teaching and development of nursing in Portugal. The Escola Pós-Básica de Lisboa came into operation in 1984 to optimize postgraduate training resources that were dispersed among several institutions and brought together three sections that corresponded to the former Psychiatric Nursing School of Lisbon, Teaching and Administration in Nursing, and Public Health Nursing, respectively. With the integration of nursing teaching in Polytechnic Higher Education in 1989 (Decree-Law no. 480/88, of 23 December), all the aforementioned schools began to teach the Degree in Nursing, which awarded the academic degree of Ordinary Bachelor, except ESE Maria Fernanda Resende, which offered specialized degree courses in nursing. In 1999, the Licenciatura degree in Nursing was created (Decree-Law no. 353/99, of 3 September), and all schools started to award the academic degree of Licenciado (Bachelor with Honours) and offer postgraduate training. With Decree-Law no. 99/2001, of 28 March, these schools became the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and, subsequently, of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education. The merging process started in 2004, and to that end, a monitoring committee was set up to lead the process of creating the statutes of ESEL and electing the first management board. The Unit of the Documentation Centre and Library of ESEL specialized in nursing science, health sciences, and social and human sciences, aims to support all ESEL’s activity sectors, providing, in the best use conditions, the bibliographic resources necessary for teaching, researching, continuing education, and cultural extension activities. ESEL’s collection has about 17 000 titles (monographs, reference works, theses, dissertations, and audiovisual materials), around 80 paper periodicals, and approximately 2 500 periodical publications in full-text digital format and e-books.

The mission of Universidade NOVA de Lisboa is to serve society on a local, regional and global level. As a university institution that wishes to be a reference, it is focused on the following plans. An international profile with an emphasis on second and third cycles, but founded on solid first cycles, focused on its students and providing them rigorous knowledge, creativity, critical spirit, and sense of citizenship and justice that enables professional success and leadership. Collaborative research, responsible and internationally relevant, concentrating on interdisciplinary areas and including an investigation targeting the resolution of problems that affect society. A service that promotes solidarity and sustainable development in the health, economic, technological, cultural, and social plans, founded in the region of Lisbon and compromised on a national and international level, dedicating special attention to the countries where the Portuguese Language is spoken. A wide base of inter-institutional participation, oriented to the integration of different scientific cultures to create innovative synergies for teaching and research. Universities in Portugal have an old tradition. The first University was founded in 1289 in Coimbra, as a response to the growing need for education, dissemination of knowledge, and exchange of ideas, as well as communication with other European Universities. This tradition has remained to this day in which universities are fundamental institutions in Portuguese society. Universidade NOVA de Lisboa was founded on the 11th of August 1973 and is the youngest of Lisbon’s three state Universities. Integrated within a framework of expansion and diversification of higher education, the University adopted a new model within the Portuguese system that stressed interdisciplinary approaches, technological developments while, at the same time, safeguarding offerings in traditional academic domains including medicine, sciences, and humanities. The founding of NOVA was a response to an ever-increasing demand for higher education in Portugal, in general, and in the city of Lisbon, in particular. Since its inception, NOVA has aimed to innovate higher education in Portugal and to contribute to the social and economic development of the country. Following its first four years of existence, the initial model was adapted to carry out the University’s commitment towards excellence in teaching and research. During its first years, the University cantered its offerings mainly on graduate and specialist programs, but since the end of 1977, NOVA has been steadily expanding its offerings. The name Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (NOVA) stands for creativity and innovation. Proud of its youth, as one of the most recent public universities within the Lisbon metropolitan area, NOVA spans through three councils: Lisboa, Almada, and Oeiras. NOVA integrates 41 scientific research centers 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 institutions). In the last assessment by FCT (2007-2008), 25 of these centers were graded as “Excellent” or “Very Good”, accounting for 75%. 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. It is our short-term goal to also cooperate with Higher Education institutions from Latin America. The university is thus 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 programs. 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 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.
