Goals / Remit
Founded in 1911, the University of Porto (U.Porto) is a benchmark institution for Higher Education and Scientific Research in Portugal and one of the top European Universities according to the most relevant international ranking systems.
U.Porto combines high quality education focused on individual vocations and talents as well as market needs with the claim to being the greatest birthplace of science and research in Portugal.
Indeed, it is the umbilical relationship between learning and creating knowledge that justifies the classification of the U.Porto as a Research University.
Being open to the community and business is the main trademark of the U.Porto. The U.Porto creates leaders, promotes innovators and encourages entrepreneurs. In short, it trains people who can make a difference in their communities.
Currently, the U.Porto is the most international of Portugal’s universities thanks to its active cooperation with hundreds of higher education institutions worldwide.Main EU files targeted
U.Porto currently follows a myriad of EU initiatives in diverse domains such as agriculture, environment, energy, culture, education, health, transport, science and technology.

At an European level, U.Porto shows an important track-record and participation in R&D projects funded by the European Commission as well as mobility and lifelong programmes (Erasmus+, Erasmus Mundus, and other). Since 2014, U.Porto’s participation in EU projects and initiatives has increased and widened, covering different programmes like H2020, Horizon, Erasmus+, Justice, Rights, Equality and Citizenship, Third Health, Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), Internal Security Fund – Police, Union Civil Protection Mechanism, in a total over 180 projects (data march 2022).
