RESEARCH

NOVA contributes significantly to the research into the area of SDG10. Learn more about the following research projects:

Identify the schools with the highest percentage of students of immigrant origin and their nationalities and explain the difference of results between students of immigrant origin and native students. Identify the factors that contribute to differences between schools in this phenomenon that can be considered as potential targets for intervention and produce recommendations for schools and educational policies.

This project experimentally evaluates the impact of an active immigrant integration program using a randomized controlled trial implemented among immigrants residing in the Greater Lisbon area and their relatives in Cape Verde.
