Study & Research in Portugal, “Country of Knowledge, Space for Innovation”

Portugal's commitment to knowledge, creativity, and innovation broadens horizons with the launch of Study & Research in Portugal – "Portugal, Country of Knowledge, Space for Innovation," a new platform for the internationalization of higher education, science, and technology, dedicated to foreign students and researchers, companies, and science and technology institutions.

In Portugal, higher education and the science and technology system have undergone an unprecedented process of internationalization in recent decades, both in terms of the mobility of foreign students and researchers, and in terms of scientific production and activity and the transfer of knowledge to leading international networks, such as the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The Study and Research in Portugal Portal is a fundamental tool for promoting and internationalizing the country in areas such as scientific diplomacy, tourism, mobility, economy, heritage, language, and culture.

Study and Research in Portugal has a promotional video and a portal with additional information, which will be progressively enriched. The initiative is promoted by the government department for science, technology, and higher education, in conjunction with the Directorate-General for Higher Education, the Foundation for Science and Technology, the Secretary of State for Tourism, and Turismo de Portugal.
