With an academic tradition of almost half a century of service to the University teaching of Psychology in Portugal, ISPA incorporates in its structure an External Relations Office (gre@ispa.pt) which is a bridge that connects national and international academic, educational, political, religious, and social institutions.The Mobility Services , which are part of this Office, promote academic, scientific, educational, and wider cooperation agreements, adapting its role and importance to the constant changes that occur in contemporary society.

In this role, in addition to the establishment and renewal of multilateral relations, there is place for everyday practicalities such as the reception of Erasmus students and teachers and provision of support in the placement of students in internships in institutions of national and international prestige. Moreover, this Office is dedicated to the promotion, advertising, and movement of teachers for the purposes of scientific research and educational activity, choice and development of partnerships and encouragement and promotion of intellectual mobility. It is also dedicated to the collection, systematisation and dissemination of all information related to the national and international movement of teachers and students.

We, at ISPA, will all do our best to make you feel warmly welcomed and, above all, we will help you to embark on an inner journey that will assist you to understand the multiple diversity of the united European space, thus reaffirming Steiner’s Idea of Europe. Come and discover ISPA, Lisbon, and Portugal with the same spirit with which the Italian navigator Americo Vespucci on 13thMay 1501, in the service of the King of Portugal, left for the discoveries: “We set off from Lisbon with three armed ships, and we went looking for the new world”.
