Study & Research in Portugal, “A land of knowledge, a place to experience”

The launch of the initiative Study & Research in Portugal – Portugal, A land of knowledge, a place to experience, illustrates Portugal’s commitment to knowledge, creativity, and innovation. The platform is dedicated to both students and researchers, companies, and institutions of science and technology worldwide.

Higher education, science, and technology internationalization in Portugal has undergone unprecedented growth in recent decades, particularly by increasing student and researcher mobility, but also by opening up its scientific activity and knowledge production to globally recognized networks, such as the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL), the European Space Agency (ESA), and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Study and Research in Portugal is a key tool to promote the country's internationalization in terms of scientific diplomacy, tourism, mobility, economy, heritage, language, and culture.

The Study and Research in Portugal program has a promotional video and digital platform with additional information, which is being progressively updated. The program was launched by the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Higher Education, together with the General Directorate of Higher Education, the Foundation for Science and Technology, the Secretary of State for Tourism, and Tourism of Portugal.
