In the last years, the University has been focusing in providing greater economic value to its scientific production and recent partnerships with the Portuguese industry leaders have already resulted in several innovations with proven success in the national and international markets.

Research & Development

The innovation produced by the University of Porto has also led to the start-up of several new businesses. The institution is responsible for 116 patents, 84 of which were recorded during the last five years.

Internationalization is one of the main vectors on U.Porto development, as is evident through the implementation of numerous international initiatives. This approach allows to: (i) develop the existing cooperation; (ii) start and set up innovative cooperation activities through the establishment of cooperation protocols with universities from all over the world; (iii) integrate several international inter university cooperation networks and groups; and (iv) actively participate on a significant number of international education, training and research programmes.

A significant number of these activities are specially developed within university networks in which U.Porto participates, and also through the 650 bilateral cooperation agreements signed with partner universities from all continents, particularly Europe, South America, Asia and Portuguese-Speaking countries (e.g. Brazil and Angola).

International Cooperation

U.Porto cooperation with foreign universities is also visible through the establishment of joint degrees, highlighting the U.Porto participation in several European masters, as well as the signature of numerous agreements with European and Latin-American institutions to grant double degrees, joint supervision doctoral thesis and also European doctoral degree.

In fact, the University of Porto welcomes every year more than 3,000 students from 98 different countries. Similarly, several hundred students and researchers from the U.Porto use the unique opportunity provided by the international cooperation agreements at their disposal in order to study outside of Portugal.

Porto, Portugal

In Europe’s westernmost country, between the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean and the slopes of the river Douro, lies the city which gave its name to the University of Porto, the country’s second largest city and its traditional economic and industrial heart.

Porto is a globally known touristic destination, renowned for the charm of its Historical Centre (classified as UNESCO World Heritage), for its famous Porto wine, for the generosity of its cuisine and the hospitality of its people.

Full of green areas and sports venues, with a revitalized public transport net-work and the culture and nightlife one might expect from a region of 70,000 undergraduates, Porto is a city which opens its arms to students, particu-larly to international students.

Although Portugal is one of the countries that introduced the Euro as their currency, it is still seen as having a relatively low cost of living. Some reference values for monthly ex-penses: accommodation between 150 EUR and 250 EUR, meals for about 250 EUR and transportation around 25 EUR.

Upon arrival at the University of Porto, all international students are welcomed with a city tour and a information kit about the location of the University services (Faculties, Canteens, Medical Services, Halls of Residence, Sports Centres, Libraries, etc.), and detailed information about the city points of interest and the public transports system.
