On 30 September, NOVA University Lisbon received the Higher Education Student-Athlete Seal, awarded by the Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth (IPDJ), at a ceremony held at the Constantino Nery Theatre in Matosinhos.
The Student-Athlete Seal, created in 2022, distinguishes Higher Education Institutions or Organic Units that promote sports participation in higher education, recognising good practices and encouraging the compatibility between sports representation and academic requirements.
The award of the seal, valid for the 2024-2026 biennium, is an incentive for the ongoing work of all those who promote sport in higher education, in particular student-athletes, whose dedication and effort are fundamental to building a more inclusive, dynamic and balanced university.
