The award of the Student-Athlete Seal, valid for two consecutive years, is the result of the evaluation of the applications submitted by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to the Portuguese Institute for Sport and Youth (IPDJ), and recognises your institution’s continuous efforts to promote excellence in the conditions for practising sport and, at the same time, for the academic development of its student athletes.
The award also reflects Universidade NOVA de Lisboa’s commitment to the integration of sport into the academic environment, creating the conditions for our students to achieve high standards both in their studies and in the sports in which they represent their university.
This recognition from the IPDJ is just one more incentive for the continued support of all those involved in the promotion of sport in higher education, especially the student athletes, whose commitment and effort are the driving force behind the creation of better conditions for the practice of sport in an academic context.
