Summary: The aim of this study is to update previous analyses on academic failure in the 1st cycle at ISEG, developed within the scope of the Observatory for Pedagogical Action and Innovation. To this end, a longitudinal analysis is carried out of the administrative records relating to the number of students enrolled, assessed and passed in the different curricular units, covering the period between the academic years 2015/2016 and 2023/2024.
The analysis is structured around three key indicators - non-participation rate in assessment, effective failure rate and school failure rate - which are used to identify and quantify persistent patterns of failure. These indicators are disaggregated by course, department, curricular year and type of curricular unit, making it possible to isolate critical factors and structural heterogeneities in academic performance.
In addition, the study seeks to evaluate the impact of the measures implemented in recent years to mitigate school failure, contributing to a more in-depth understanding of their effectiveness and to inform future interventions in the context of higher education.
The seminar will be delivered in Portuguese.
We are counting on your presence to make the session more dynamic and to share experiences! A light meal will be served.
Free admission.

The Portuguese Embassy in Paris hosted an unprecedented meeting on 24 March which brought together more than a hundred graduates from four of Portugal's leading higher education institutions: Católica Lisbon, Instituto Superior Técnico, ISEG and Nova SBE.
Promoted by the Portuguese Diaspora Council and AICEP, with the support of the Portuguese Embassy in Paris and Caixa Geral de Depósitos, the purpose of the event was to strengthen links between highly qualified Portuguese professionals working in France and to boost their contribution to Portugal's economic development.
From investment banking to large luxury houses, from strategic consulting to artificial intelligence, Portuguese talent is now positioned where decisions are made. The alumni present represent a qualified and transversal presence in some of the most relevant sectors of the global economy, including financial institutions, consulting, consumer and luxury goods, industry, energy, technology and entrepreneurship.
The meeting took place in an informal atmosphere:
The representatives of the four institutions highlighted the importance of this initiative as a platform for connecting talent, knowledge and opportunities, underlining the potential of the diaspora as an engine for innovation, growth and internationalisation.
The institutions also agreed to replicate this meeting model in other strategic geographies, strengthening a global network of highly qualified Portuguese alumni and promoting more coordinated action at an international level. This event marks a significant step towards building a global community of Portuguese talent, capable of generating economic impact and strengthening Portugal's presence in the main centres of international decision-making.
“More than preparing excellent professionals, today we have a responsibility to maintain an active connection with the talent we have helped to develop. This global network of alumni is a strategic asset that can, and must, be mobilised to create value for Portugal,” says the Dean of ISEG, Professor João Duque.
The ISEG student, Agate de Sousa, won the gold medal in the long jump at the World Indoor Athletics Championships, achieving a historic feat for Portuguese sport.
The athlete won the event with a high jump, confirming her status among the world's elite in the sport. Born in São Tomé and Príncipe and naturalized Portuguese, she currently represents Portugal in international competitions.
This excellent result is a source of great pride for ISEG, demonstrating the ability of its students to combine academic success with sporting performance at the highest level.
