Shaping the future since 1911.

There is always room for new ideas at ISEG. We are the first school of economics and management to be founded in Portugal and are now an integral part of the country's largest university, Universidade de Lisboa. We have a high standard of teaching, which is recognised by international education bodies and rankings such as the Financial Times, EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA, based on a culture of permanent innovation and continuous collaboration between students and faculty. This strong reputation comes from the quality of our graduates, faculty, and research, as well as the impact of our activities on the community.

We are an eclectic school, open to the world, which challenges itself to respond to changes in the various areas of society.
Today we are a school that is based on ethical principles, innovation, and entrepreneurship, where three pillars grow from these: sustainability, internationalisation, and service to society.
