ULusófona reaffirms its international prestige with the inclusion of ten researchers in the Stanford–Elsevier Top 2% Scientists ranking, which recognises scientists with a high level of scientific impact worldwide. This recognition highlights not only individual achievements but also the institution’s significant contribution to science.

COFAC, through ULusófona, works closely with CascataChuva on the development of high-impact research and innovation projects. One such project is CATCHER – Creation of innovative ‘humidity to electricity’ renewable energy conversion technology towards sustainable energy challenges, a project funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC Pathfinder).

Universidade Lusófona is part of InDEEP, a European research initiative under the Marie-Curie Doctoral Network aiming to better understand the factors influencing physical activity levels in young adolescents aged 12 to 14 and their families (including the youth and at least one parent or guardian).

ULusófona and its R&D Units (UI&Ds) participated in European Researchers' Night (NEI) 2026, hosting a diverse range of interactive activities and scientific outreach initiatives open to the public.
