Welcome to the School of Economics and Management of the University of Porto!

The start of a new academic year is always a time of renewal, marked by the promise of new opportunities, stimulating challenges, and, above all, personal and professional growth.

This year, we have chosen diversity and inclusion as the fundamental pillars that will guide our activities and initiatives. We live in an increasingly interconnected world where cultural, social, and intellectual differences not only enrich us as individuals but also drive us to innovate and achieve collective success. At FEP, we firmly believe that diversity is essential to academic excellence and to building a fairer and more equitable society.

With this in mind, we are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued, regardless of their background, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or any other characteristic that makes them unique. For us, inclusion is more than just a concept; it is a living practice that requires the commitment of every member of our community. This year, we invite everyone to embrace this mission, promoting mutual respect, empathy, and collaboration in every action, both inside and outside the classroom.

We are confident that, together, we will make this academic year a period of enriching learning, continuous innovation, and genuine unity. We count on each of you to make FEP an increasingly inclusive space, where every voice is heard and every perspective is valued.

Let us, with enthusiasm and determination, make this year a milestone in the history of our school.
