On April 12, the Universidade Europeia de Lisboa, through its Campus Life initiative, brought together health, well-being, team spirit, and community engagement by taking part in the 26th Milha Urbana de Moscavide, one of the most emblematic running events in the region.
The initiative brought together members of the academic community, including students, academic staff, and professional staff, reinforcing the University’s commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles and encouraging moments of connection beyond the academic setting.
More than just a sporting event, this participation provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen bonds among colleagues, foster a sense of belonging, and celebrate the University’s close relationship with the local community. By proudly wearing the University’s colours, participants highlighted the strong link between the institution and the city that hosts the Oriente Green Campus.
The presence of Universidade Europeia de Lisboa at the Milha Urbana de Moscavide reflects the Campus Life mission to promote initiatives that combine physical activity, well-being, and community involvement, contributing to a more balanced, inclusive, and enriching academic experience.
Events such as this underline the importance of creating shared moments where the University is recognised not only as a place of learning, but also as an active contributor to health promotion, social cohesion, and civic engagement.
