The new level, entitled "Professional Mentoring", represents a strategic investment by ISEG in supporting the growth and career transformation of its former students.
Developed by ISEG Alumni Económicas, the objective of this new initiative is to accompany alumni at a critical stage in their careers, providing them with personalised guidance from mentors with more than 20 years' experience and consolidated career paths. All the mentors are also ISEG alumni, thus creating a bridge between generations that strengthens the School's network as an asset of lasting value.
"It's about creating a bridge between generations of alumni and strengthening the ISEG network as an invaluable asset throughout their careers", says Sandra Alvarez, a member of the Management Board and head of the ISEG Alumni Económicas Mentoring Programme.
Professional Mentoring offers individual and confidential sessions, tailored to the challenges and professional ambitions of each mentee. Mentors are selected on a personalised basis, reflecting the profiles and objectives defined by the participants.
The programme officially starts on 1 July and is available to all ISEG alumni who are members of the ISEG Alumni Económicas association -- a condition that can be met at the time of registration. With this new programme, ISEG strengthens its position as a business school of excellence committed to the success of its students and alumni, promoting opportunities for continuous development in an increasingly demanding and volatile job market.
ISEG Alumni Económicas is the official alumni community of the Lisbon School of Economics & Management. With the objective of strengthening ties between generations of alumni and promoting professional development, networking and knowledge-sharing initiatives, it is a dynamic space that accompanies its members throughout their professional journey.
The new permanent exhibition is housed in the emblematic building of the Quelhas Convent, in the heart of Lisbon, and is a journey
in time.
Through a carefully curated exhibition trail, the 'Memory Space' introduces us to the major milestones in ISEG's history, from the building's beginnings in the 16th century -- when it served as a shelter for foreign refugee nuns -- to its transformation into one of Europe's most prestigious economics and management schools. The project highlights the evolution of the School as a direct heir to the Aula do Comércio, the oldest public school of economics and management in the country.
The exhibition includes historical pieces, emblematic documents, images from each era and multimedia resources that help put the different periods through which the School passed into context.
More than a chronology of facts, the project engages in a lively, sensory and engaging narrative that seeks to bring the academic community and the general public closer to ISEG's rich heritage and symbolism.

The inauguration included speeches by the Dean of ISEG, Professor João Duque, and retired professor Carlos Bastien, the exhibition's scientific curator. This was followed by the unveiling of the inaugural ribbon, in a symbolic moment that brought together various personalities linked to ISEG, including João Duque, Cândida Mourão (School Board representative), Eduardo Catroga (former student), Carlos Bastien, Joaquim Miranda Sarmento (ISEG professor and current Minister of State and Finance) and António Viana, who was responsible for designing and the execution of the project. Also present were dozens of current and former members of our School community - including students, professors and staff - who joined in for this milestone in the School's history.
The 'Memory Space' stands as a living testimony to ISEG's transforming role in Portuguese society, reflecting the political, social and educational changes
that have marked the country for more than a century. By opening the doors of this new space to the public, ISEG emphasises its commitment to the preservation of memory,
and with the enhancement of its legacy in the education of economics and management.
