Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning - University of Lisbon
After the recent reorganization of the University of Lisbon, the recently created Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning (IGOT) has incorporated the Centre for Geographical Studies (CEG).
The CEG, founded in 1943, is the largest R&D unit for geographical research in Portugal, comprising almost 160 researchers. Through their high quality scientific investigation and participation in national and international scientific cooperation networks, these scholars have given an essential contribution to elevate the CEG-UL into a research unit of excellence in the domains of theoretical and applied Geography.
The recognition of the R&D activity is also perceptible by the numerous consultancy contracts in Portugal and abroad, as well as international projects, networks of excellence and partnerships with public entities.
