General Council approves integration of ISPA into NOVA

10 de October, 2024

On the proposal of the Rector of NOVA University Lisbon, the General Council of NOVA approved on 23rd September the integration of ISPA – University Institute of Psychological, Social and Life Sciences into NOVA. 

Recognised as one of the best psychology institutions in the country, ISPA has a solid and long tradition of collaboration with NOVA. 

Its integration comes in response to an area that NOVA did not yet have in its curriculum and reinforces its path of affirmation and development as a global and civic university. 

This step will increase synergies with existing organic units and strengthen NOVA’s capacity to provide psychological support and clinical psychology and mental health services to the community. 

“This integration is of strategic importance”, stresses João Sàágua, Rector of NOVA.
