Why is it important?

The cultural diversity and the different specialization backgrounds, allied to different concerns on sustainability issues and a totally student driven integration have shown the strength and the weaknesses of the school towards the internationalization.

Perspectives

An intensive 2 weeks summer course, when a team of selected professors and Portuguese students worked together to make the Korean students stay in Porto something memorable. Besides the (not so) formal teaching activity, social activities were provided. The farewell session was the cherry on the top of the cake, with everyone feeling happyness for the good time spent, although some sadness for having to depart.
