Federação Académica do Porto, Student federation in Porto, Portugal.
The Federação Académica do Porto is a student federation representing over 70,000 students through 27 student associations across higher education institutions in Porto Metropolitan Area. It manages the Pólo Zero space, which offers study areas and meeting rooms for students from different institutions.
The federation was founded in 1989 and first established its headquarters on Rua Miguel Bombarda. It later moved to permanent facilities on Rua do Campo Alegre.
The federation shapes student life by organizing lectures, art exhibitions, and music events throughout the year that bring students from different institutions together. These gatherings create spaces where people discover common interests beyond their own studies.
The Pólo Zero space is accessible to students during semesters and offers flexible study options in a shared environment. Visitors should check what services are available at different times of the academic year.
The federation represents students from four distinct educational systems: public universities, public polytechnics, private cooperatives, and church-affiliated institutions. This diversity makes it a unique organization bringing together students from different academic backgrounds.
