ISEC Lisboa - Higher Institute of Education and Science

About & Mission 

Officially recognized in August 1991, ISEC Lisboa - Higher Institute of Education and Sciences, is defined as a private non-profit higher education and research establishment whose institutional mission is to provide scientific, technical, cultural, pedagogical, professional, and human training. As an institution of public interest, ISEC aims for growth driven by the national needs as well as the objectives that it statutorily pursues, thus contributing to the qualified, integrated, and harmonious development of higher education in Portugal. This mission is mainly accomplished through a training project guided by high standards and inspired by ethical and humanist principles, to prepare citizens of culture and competent professionals. The adequacy of a training project to quality professional performance depends largely on the integration of scientifically produced knowledge. This is why the learning experience marked by intellectual curiosity and the spirit of research represents, in our educational project, a strategy for integrating theoretical and practical knowledge, critical reflection and lifelong professional development.

Sustainability 

ISEC Lisboa is committed to aligning its activities and responsibilities with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), locally joining a common and global effort. To this end, it defined and implemented a Sustainability Policy, embodied in the Action Plan for Sustainability and the Strategic Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change.
