On National Student Day, 24 March, Universidade Europeia de Lisboa hosted a special live broadcast by NOW Television Channel, transmitted directly from the University’s new sustainable campus, the Oriente Green Campus, in Moscavide.
Throughout the day, the campus welcomed several distinguished guests who shared important reflections on higher education and the role of students in shaping the future. Among those interviewed were the Minister of Education, Fernando Alexandre, and the University’s Rector, Helia Gonçalves Pereira, who highlighted key perspectives on education within an open and engaging dialogue with the academic community.
This initiative marked National Student Day in a meaningful and visible way, celebrating the talent, commitment, and diversity of the University’s students — who stand at the very heart of the mission of Universidade Europeia de Lisboa. The Oriente Green Campus was also showcased as a symbol of innovation and sustainability, reflecting the University’s commitment to forward-looking education, social responsibility, and strong connections with society.
More than a symbolic celebration, the day served as a source of inspiration to continue striving for excellence, reinforcing the belief that students are always at the centre of the University — at the core of learning, innovation, and the development of an active, inclusive, and global academic community.
Celebrating National Student Day in this way reaffirms the University’s purpose: to educate engaged, critical, and future-ready citizens in an environment that values knowledge, people, and positive social impact.
