The University of Lisbon builds bridges between institutions, sectors and borders, fostering education, research and innovation.
At the ULisboa Scientific Conferences 2026, we will reflect on how these dynamics are transforming cooperation: with whom we collaborate, how we do so, and with what objectives.
The event explores partnerships between universities, the public sector, industry and other key stakeholders, both nationally and internationally, bringing together discussions on the role of universities in R&I, the need for coherent internationalisation strategies, and ULisboa’s position in European Research Area.
Through debates and interactive sessions, we encourage the sharing of experiences and best practices, strengthening impact networks and reaffirming cooperation as a strategic driver for the future of science, innovation and shared knowledge.
