ISEG Lisbon School of Economics & Management

ISEG Achieves four Palmes of Excellence in the Prestigious Eduniversal Ranking.

ISEG - Lisbon School of Economics & Management, increased its ranking from three to four Palmes of Excellence in the prestigious Eduniversal ranking. This distinction recognises the best business schools in the world and places ISEG in an elite group of global universities, reaffirming its place among the best in the world among the 1,000 of the Best Business Schools in 153 countries.

This milestone reflects the joint efforts of the entire academic community - faculty, non-faculty staff, students, alumni, and institutional partners. Together, we have worked towards achieving international recognition, the design of innovative degrees, impactful research and an ever closer relationship with the business sector.

The award of 4 Palmes d'Excellence is a commitment to excellence. This recognition challenges us to expand ISEG's global impact and to strengthen our position as a leader in education in management and economics and in preparing leaders who can transform the future.

The world is changing rapidly and sharply. Population growth along with the aging of many nations, climate change, the integration of some and the disintegration of other societies, the exponential intervention of technology in our lives, the scarcity of natural resources for a more numerous but more sustainable society, the challenges democracies and totalitarian temptations, new forms of access to information and new forms of study, pose new challenges to our companies, our families and the State.

Quick changes require ISEG to adapt, transform itself, and help those who want to take a learning path with us, to change too and be agents of change. ISEG has to change, change what it investigates and the way it teaches, to help economic agents to change. Deep down, continue to do what you've done throughout these 111 years of life: Understand when the time has come to change the medicine, because the patient is no longer the same.

Only an eclectic school that challenges itself can respond to this social need. That is why this School is not and will not be a madrasa of any economic or political current, being rather a diverse collective that challenges and overcomes itself.

Faced with such challenges, ISEG assumes itself today as a school where its academics and students, supported by its body of non-teaching staff, are the basis of teaching and research based on ethical principles, innovation and entrepreneurship, where, on these, grow 3 pillars: sustainability, internationalization and service to society.

The noble mission of investigating and educating lies at the base of our building, where people are located. ISEG wants to be a school that seeks knowledge to teach it and not a school that only teaches what it already knew. That is why its definition of mission states the aim of creating knowledge, in the first place, and then transmitting it.
