NOVA School of Science and Technology (FCT NOVA) announced today the launch of the first school of Executive Education in Technology in the country. From Tech to Value is the signature of this new Executive Education school whose main mission is to provide technological education created to generate impact and value for society.
The NOVA School of Science and Technology, one of the main faculties of Engineering, Science and Technology in Portugal, believes that society and the world economy are increasingly looking for technology and science, and that the challenge created by the current rapidly changing environment requires greater agility of companies and their leaders. It is in this sense that the Executive Education in Technology School has a teaching approach that aims to improve reflective, critical and collaborative systemic thinking. The programmes taught aim to create and shape the leaders of the future, using innovative teaching methods, based on technology as an accelerator for economic and social development.
The School is inspired by leading colleges such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Stanford and Cranfield universities. The training is practical, oriented to the needs of companies, with the academic staff of the faculty and speakers from companies and national and international institutions. FCT NOVA professors Elvira Fortunato and António Grilo, among others, are part of the academic team that are coordinating and developing the first programmes at this new Executive Education school.
The programmes will be taught in a face-to-face and hybrid format, on the Caparica campus and on the Campolide campus, using whenever necessary the more than 100 laboratories of the School so that the participants can experience the laboratory process inherent to technological and scientific innovation.
The School started with an already complete programme - the post-graduation ‘Lean for Operational Excellence’, which returns for a new edition in October 2021.
