The University of Évora is a center for the creation, transmission and dissemination of culture, science and technology, which, through the combination of study, teaching and research, is integrated into the life of society.

The University of Évora is oriented towards the region in which it is located – the Alentejo -, defining it as the preferential target of its effort to socialize knowledge; the European Union, with which it shares similar human, cultural and scientific values; the neighboring regions, with which it will primarily establish strategic partnerships; and the Portuguese-speaking countries to which it will seek to extend its mission, keeping in mind, at the same time, that the preparation of students must always take into account the global “world” in which we live today.

With the mission of transmitting and producing knowledge, and basing its strategies on the regional context in which it operates, the University of Évora structures its performance on 4 anchor areas that distinguish it from other Portuguese public higher education institutions: Mediterranean and Environment; Material, Intangible and Human Heritage; Pathways of Life and Well-Being; Aerospace and Digital Transformation.
