NOVA School of Science and Technology

NOVA School of Science and Technology is a technical university in Caparica, about 30 kilometers south of Lisbon, with a sprawling campus across suburban grounds. The grounds house teaching buildings, research facilities, and student amenities spread throughout the property.

The school was founded in 1977 and introduced Portugal's first computer science degree program. It has since grown by continuously adding new engineering disciplines and research areas.

The school serves as a meeting place for students from different backgrounds who work together in laboratories and research groups while building connections with Portuguese industries and researchers.

The campus offers extensive facilities including laboratories, sports areas, a small supermarket, and parking spaces on the grounds. Direct transport connections link the campus to central Lisbon for easy commuting.

The school operates research centers focused on marine energy and finding ways to extract renewable power from the ocean. This specialized work sets it apart from most other institutions in the region.
