Founded in 1911, ISEG is a research-oriented institution, whose mission is to instruct capable business and economics students and to train the most skilled managers, providing each with cutting edge knowledge in the corresponding areas of interest. ISEG is one of the top prestigious and experienced business and economics schools based in Portugal, one of the three top-ranked providers in these fields of education at undergraduate, graduate and executive training levels.
ISEG distinguishes itself from its competition through a clear focus on top quality research and teaching, and through an intense relationship with the most important public and private Portuguese Institutions and Corporations as well as with the development of long-term relationships between ISEG and its alumni. Its facilities were totally renovated recently providing a top-quality and stimulating academic environment to the personal and professional development of future managers and economists.
ISEG looks forward to continue to educate, train and prepare the requisite human resources to ensure that the country continues to modernise and develop in every way, while pursuing the path of scientific research and providing the range of services to meet the future demands of the knowledge economy and the needed skills in top-corporations, in the Civil Service or in any other institutions, either in Portugal or abroad
