Inaugurated on November 6, 2000, the campus symbolizes the realization of an innovative vision for the teaching of engineering, science and technology that emerged in Portugal at the end of the last century: the link between the University and Companies.

Every year, its anniversary is celebrated with enthusiasm by the academic community, through various activities involving all its members. Traditionally, congratulations are sung and the birthday cake is cut, a moment of fraternization between students, teachers and staff.
