In 2007, a group of students passionate about case studies participated in their first international case study competition, representing FEP in Seattle. Three years later, and with the precious guidance and knowledge of two FEP teachers, we officially became FICT - FEP International Case Team, based in the School of Economics and Management of the University of Porto. Since then, the group has participated in dozens of case study competitions all over the world, representing our university and showing true commitment and hard work.
Our club’s activity mainly consists of solving case studies: regularly, teams of 3-4 students meet to solve a company’s real-life business issue by providing realistic solutions that consider logistical and financial aspects. We follow this resolution with the presentation of the case to our FICT Coordinators, who analyze and comment on each team, giving us the opportunity to improve our case and resolution analysis, as well as our presentation skills.
Alongside this training, FICT also provides us with training sessions, workshops, contact with FICT Alumni and an extensive network of companies, helping us improve our soft and hard skills, such as teamwork, proactivity, critical thinking, and many consultancy skills.
Mission
To prepare our members to thrive in consultancy and beyond. We focus on developing problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and the soft skills that matter most in real life. By combining training, mentorship, and hands-on challenges, we aim to help our members grow and strengthen the culture of case study solving at FEP and across Portugal.
Vision
We see FEP becoming a global reference in case solving: a place known for creativity, excellence, and real impact. Our vision is to inspire students to go further, challenge themselves, and build solutions that can make a difference well beyond the classroom.
Values
At FICT, we strive for excellence and turn every challenge into an opportunity for growth. By combining diverse perspectives with innovative problem-solving, our teamwork drives strong outcomes. Ultimately, we create a lasting impact that extends beyond our members to FEP and society.
FEP U.Porto ICC occurs every two years.
