College of Chemistry of ULisboa (CQUL)

The College of Chemistry of ULisboa (CQUL) brings together professors and researchers from the various Schools of the University of Lisbon (ULisboa) with activity in Chemistry, contributing to the cohesion and better use of the University's human and material resources within the scope of teaching and research.

The College should be able to articulate the multiple competences in the area of ​​Chemistry at the ULisboa, creating new inter-School dynamics that will lead to the multiplication of joint and innovative initiatives in doctoral programs, research projects, technological development, etc., which may contribute towards the competitiveness of an area with a long tradition at this University and of recognized international merit. It is hoped, therefore, to consolidate the ULisboa's reference position in the field of Chemistry at the national level and also to expand its role in international consortia.

The proposal for the creation of the College was elaborated by a commission that integrated professors from the Faculties of Sciences (FC), Pharmacy (FF), Medicine (FM) and Human Motricity (FMH), Instituto Superior de Agronomia (ISA) and Instituto Superior Técnico (IST).

Aims

The general aims of the College of Chemistry concern to promote:

  • Cohesion at the ULisboa and the best use of its human and material resources
  • Collaboration among ULisboa Schools in teaching and research
  • Collaboration between ULisboa Schools and external institutions, particularly with regard to upper and lower secondary education and the business sector
  • Chemistry in all its scientific and technological aspects
  • The interdisciplinarity of the various fields of Chemistry
  • The transdisciplinarity of Chemistry with other sciences in which it plays a key role, such as materials, biological, pharmacological, medicinal, agronomic, forestry and environmental sciences
