Welcome to LusoGlobe: Advancing Global Understanding through Research

LusoGlobe aims to critically understand and confront in innovative ways global challenges, as once prevailing concepts of development, democracy, citizenship, identity, and sovereignty are confronted with the emergence of new approaches and actors, in a context of accelerated change and inevitably new demands.

In this dynamic context, LusoGlobe is dedicated to fostering scientific development through advanced research and graduate training. Our mission is to unravel the impact of global challenges on societies, states, and the international community.

Our Unique Identity and Academic Vision

The uniqueness of LusoGlobe as a research centre within the Portuguese university environment demands concerted efforts to strengthen institutional relations with other organizations. This collaboration is essential for the interdisciplinary research necessary to comprehend complex social and international phenomena in today's world.

Our academic project, inspired by the European Space for Higher Education, is built on forging new alliances that facilitate knowledge cooperative construction and transmission. Our mission encompasses a comprehensive analysis of social phenomena and involves a diverse array of internal and international partners, both individual and collective.

Simultaneously, we are committed to enhancing our governance structure ensuring swift and transparent decision-making processes, as well as guaranteeing the various layers of participation from scientific initiation to research senior leading.

We strategically leverage research to benefit civil society and transfer knowledge beyond the university setting, be it in political, economic, or social contexts.
