Álvaro Rocha, Full Professor at Lusófona University’s Porto University Center and President of ITMA (Information Technology Management Association), has achieved the top global ranking (#1) in the field of Maturity Models.

On September 10th, the "Criar Ciência" event served as a vibrant meeting point for ULusófona’s scientific community with the Science and Innovation Exhibition.

ULusófona reaffirms its international prestige with the inclusion of thirteenresearchers 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.

ULusófona participated in the 2026 European Researchers’ Night and shared its research and innovation with the public through a series of experiments, demonstrations, and interactive activities.

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.

On 8 September, the ROBO-KNOT project’s Consortium Meeting took place in Budapest.

On 10 September, Lusófona University hosted the 6th edition of ‘Criar Ciência & Fazer Inovação made in Lusófona’, an initiative dedicated to promoting scientific research, pedagogical innovation and the connection between science and society.

The European REMARKABLE project, developed with the participation of ULusófona, was highlighted on the official website of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) as an example of cooperation between academia and industry.
