The University assumes Lusófona with the institution responsible for scientific, cultural, social and economic space of geographically and linguistically with over 200 million inhabitants.
Civil society and citizens in general expect the universities and institutions of higher education in general are one of the poles of the central development of their countries and their culture.

Today, the search for a tertiary level reaches levels not seen in the past and the higher education institutions find themselves confronted with public increasingly varied and diverse. Many of these students represent different audiences, such as mature students or foreign origin, the institutions that put new and exciting challenges.

Thus, in addition to students and teachers, unique objects of activity of universities in the past, companies and other organizations are increasingly emerging as a central activity of the vertices University and a nuclear pillar of its growth and sustainability. Massification, internationalization, innovation and entrepreneurship, so are terms that have become part of the vocabulary of university life and what matters to each institution able to internalize the activities of your day to day. The changes in the profile of the target groups of institutions have been accompanied by profound changes in teaching and training models, particularly those that resulted from implementation of the Bologna Declaration. Above all, today's higher education institutions are required to define clearly what they want is for their role in society and what is its contribution to social, economic and social community in which they operate.
