On 24 June, NOVA University Lisbon was notified of a lawsuit and a precautionary measure relating to the rejection of a rectorial candidacy due to failure to meet statutory requirements. Following notification of the precautionary measure, the rectorial election process was suspended.
On 30 June, the university filed a reasoned resolution and opposition to the precautionary measure, as well as a response to the lawsuit.
According to doctoral and case law, submitting a reasoned resolution has the effect of lifting the suspension imposed by the precautionary measure, allowing the electoral process to resume before a final court decision is reached.
The Electoral Commission proceeded with the process and the General Council approved a new electoral calendar setting 16 September 2025 as the election date.
Applications accepted
NOVA University Lisbon announces the opening of the application process for the position of Rector, which will take place between 1 April and 2 May 2025.
