Election process for the position of Rector (update)

23 de April, 2026

NOVA UNiversity Lisbon informs that, in the context of the interim relief proceedings currently pending before the Lisbon Administrative Court, the corresponding reasoned resolution has been submitted.

According to doctrine and case law, the submission of a reasoned resolution has the effect of lifting the suspension previously ordered in the context of the interim proceedings, thereby allowing the resumption of the electoral process, even before a final judicial decision is issued.

In this context, the electoral process continues its normal course, with the holding of the election confirmed for tomorrow, 24 April 2026.

The University will continue to monitor the development of the process, ensuring, in defence of the public interest, strict compliance with the legal and statutory provisions in force.
