UTAD Vila Real (PRT)
The University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro became a fully-fledged University in 1986. Today, after years of commitment to high quality teaching, research and community extension, UTAD has earned its rightful place among the new generation of Portuguese universities, and is striving to make a name for itself at both national and international levels as a centre for academic excellence and innovation. UTAD is a high level institution oriented towards the creation and dissemination of culture, knowledge and science by merging teaching, scientific research and experimental development. Its core objectives are high quality Teaching, Research and Community Outreach, achieved by developing scientific activity that seeks to address issues of global, national or regional scope.
