On April 14, a group of 20 students and 12 professors from the ISEL Chemical Engineering Department carried out a study visit to the industrial unit of The Navigator Company, located in Setúbal. This factory, one of the most modern in Europe, is dedicated to the production of pulp and writing and printing paper, occupying a prominent position in the Portuguese industrial sector.

During the visit, participants had the opportunity to closely monitor the production process, from receiving the raw material to obtaining the final product. The initiative allowed for deeper knowledge about process technologies, environmental control and sustainability practices implemented by the company, reinforcing the connection between academic training and industrial reality.

The activity proved to be an enriching experience, contributing to the technical and professional development of students, and encouraging direct contact with one of the main industries in the sector in Portugal.
