University of Evora
The University of Évora is one of the universities belonging to the Portuguese public higher education system. As such, its mission involves the production of knowledge through scientific and artistic research, experimentation and technological and humanistic development; the socialization of knowledge, providing the traditional student population, as well as the working population, with academic qualification through undergraduate, master's and doctoral courses, ad hoc training courses and informal training throughout life; and the transmission of knowledge to the community, fostering innovation and business competitiveness, the modernization of public services, as well as the social and cultural development of the broader community. The vision of the University of Évora favors the region’s background, choosing it as the preferred target of its effort to socialize knowledge; shares identical human, cultural and scientific values with the European Community; prioritizes strategic alliances with the neighboring regions; seeks to expand its mission into the Portuguese-speaking countries, not forgetting, at the same time, the current challenges related to a global “world” for which the students must be well-prepared.
