The Universidade Nova de Lisboa (UNL) was founded in 1973, and it is the youngest of Lisbon’s three state Universities. The founding of UNL was a response to an ever-increasing demand for higher education in Portugal. UNL consists of five Faculties, three Institutes and a School which offer a wide variety of courses in all areas of knowledge. It offers 29 graduate courses (1st cycle), 89 masters (2nd cycle) – 3 of which are Erasmus Mundus – and 7 integrated master’s programmes, beside doctoral (3rd cycle) and post-graduate courses. Presently, it has 14200 students, of whom 1400 are enrolled in graduate programs. The Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia (FCT), located in the Campus of Caparica, is today one of the most prestigious schools of Engineering and Science in Portugal. The focus of FCT on academic research is expressed by the increasing impact that FCT publications are obtaining in recognized national and international journals, as well as the number of successful spin-off companies launched in the last 10 years.
