The name Universidade Nova de Lisboa (UNL/Nova) stands for creativity and innovation. Proud of its youth, as the most recent public university within the Lisbon metropolitan area, UNL/Nova extends through three municipalities: Lisbon, Almada and Oeiras. Despite its youth, the thirty four years of existence in the Metropolitan area provide a solid experience, and, nowadays, the University has over 14000 students, 1500 teachers and 800 employees.

The singularity of Universidade Nova de Lisboa's project depends on its assumed dispersion in the city, characterized by two main campi: Campolide (Rectory Building, Economics and Management, Law, Statistics and Information Management) and Caparica (Sciences and Technology), as well as several locations where the remaining teaching and research units are installed: Social Sciences and Humanities, Medicine, Public Health, Tropical Medicine, Technological Biology and Chemistry.
