From May 5 to 9, 2025, the Students' Association of the Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa organized, at the ISEL Sports Fields, the well-known Sports Week, with the aim of promoting sports practice, fair play, health, friendship and integration, having registered an excellent atmosphere and student spirit.Every year, AEISEL aims to provide the greatest number of sports activities to its students. This is due to the fact that AEISEL is aware of the importance of sports practice and the benefits it brings to the health and socialization of students.With the support of ISEL and the Social Action Services of the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon, AEISEL once again had the opportunity to hold Sports Week. This edition of the event had the participation of more than 100 athletes, where it was possible to fulfill the stipulated objectives, reinforcing companionship, friendship, integration, fair play, sports practice and health.During this week, we give special emphasis to the Futsal Tournament, where we were able to count on 14 teams registered. This tournament, and due to its participation, took place on May 6th and 7th, allowing those registered to make the most of the event.Over the course of these two days, we were able to observe the student environment, from which we can, with conviction, state that it is a good, pleasant and beautiful environment to witness.Since we were able to do something so enjoyable, with the help of ISEL and SASIPL, we would like to thank everyone who participated, in every way, and we hope that in the near future we can repeat the event, and provide sports and health in more ways. Imagens AEISEL

On May 7, 2025, ISEL's Civil Engineering undergraduate students made a technical visit to the National Civil Engineering Laboratory (LNEC), as part of the course's curricular activities.The visit began with a brief institutional presentation, followed by a guided tour of several research and testing centers, namely:Water Resources and Hydraulic Structures Unit (Hydraulics and Environment Department),Ports and Maritime Structures Unit (Hydraulics and Environment Department),Seismic Engineering and Structural Dynamics Center (Structures Department).The activity was accompanied by professors Maria do Carmo Conde and Maria Idália Gomes, both from the Civil Engineering Department (DEC) at ISEL.ISEL would like to thank Dr. Daniela Ferreira (LNEC) for her availability and collaboration, who accompanied the entire visit, as well as Engineers Sílvia Amaral (DEC/ISEL professor), Luís Silva and Fernando Oliveira (LNEC), who kindly presented and explained the work developed in their respective centers

The "Lusa Yearbook 2024" exhibition was inaugurated on April 29th, in the main hall of ISEL, a photographic exhibition that brings together some of the most memorable moments of the last year, captured by the lenses of photojournalists from Agência Lusa. This is the second time that ISEL has hosted the exhibition, reinforcing the connection between the institution and the world of journalism and visual communication.The opening session was attended by the President of ISEL, Professor José Nascimento, who welcomed the guests and thanked Lusa for its continued collaboration. In his speech, he referred to the agency as a “communication vehicle synonymous with credibility”, highlighting the importance of quality journalism in a context of great fluidity and information overload.The event also included a round table moderated by António Teófilo, promoter of the World Action ISEL group, a group dedicated to promoting active citizenship and critical reflection at ISEL. The conversation brought together prominent professionals from Agência Lusa: Joaquim Carreira, Chairman of the Board of Directors; Maria de Deus Rodrigues, Deputy Director of Information; Paulo Carriço, Multimedia editor; José Sena Goulão, photojournalist; and Sofia Cadete and Inês Cordeiro, from the Commercial and Marketing Department.During the session, Joaquim Carreira highlighted the increasingly relevant role of information verification in the current media landscape. “We are trying to show, beyond what is more or less known, what our work is — that is our objective with the yearbook and our presence here,” he said, adding that it is also a way of “stopping a little between what is digital and what is physical.” He also called for critical reflection: “The world today is in a hurry and has little patience. What I ask is: read the book, stop and think about the quality of journalism in practice. The news on the website soon disappears. Reading the book forces us to remember.”In an audience made up of students, teachers and non-teaching staff, the panel reflected on the challenges of contemporary journalism, the power of the image and Lusa's mission as a national news agency. There was space for questions and for guests to share personal experiences, in an environment marked by closeness and open dialogue.The exhibition represents not only a tribute to the work of Lusa professionals, but also an opportunity for the ISEL community to reflect on the role of journalism in building collective memory and informed citizenship.The exhibition will be open to the public until May 23, 2025.[flickr-photoset:id=72177720325886902, size=q, num=10]Ver no flickr
