Lisbon is a historical city full of stories to tell, where the sun shines 290 days a year and the temperature rarely drops below 15ºC.

A city where you feel safe wandering around day or night, where the cuisine is dedicated to creating over a thousand ways to cook the beloved bacalhau (salted cod), and where you’ll find hotels and restaurants to suit every taste, budget and requirement.

Discover Lisbon, a city full of authenticity where old customs and ancient history intermix with cultural entertainment and hi-tech innovation. Lisbon is ageless, but it loves company, as you’ll find out if you meet someone and ask them to explain, with lots of gestures and repetition, where the best place is to listen to Fado.

After all, Lisbon is famous for its hospitality and the family-like way it welcomes visitors.

Faculty of Sciences, one of the largest faculties at Portugal’s biggest and most prestigious university - the University of Lisbon (ULisboa).

We fulfil our mission on a daily basis: expanding the boundaries of knowledge in science and technology, spreading this knowledge to society and enhancing our students’ education through research and by fostering a culture of lifelong learning, promoting critical thinking and intellectual independence.

We strive to give life to the words of Garcia de Orta, written over 450 years ago, that we have adopted as our motto:

What we do not know today, we will tomorrow.

Come and meet us!
