IEP ALUMNI CLUB |
---|
The main objective of the IEP Alumni Club is to create lasting relationships by supporting the insertion in the job market, mentoring, collaboration among alumni, and through the organization of academic, cultural, social and recreational activities. It is our belief that this will contribute to the recognition of the IEP as an institution of excellence and the quality of its students.
Read the President's full message here.
IEP Alumni Weekend - "Autumn Classics"
A book, Antigone; fifteen people chatting aroung a table in two-hours sessions, led by the creator of these programmes, Miguel Monjardino; walks, the surrounding sea and the charm of the Arrábida Convent, where the Institute began. This was the first activity of IEP Alumni Club, exclusively for its members. In a weekend we returned to some of the best traditions of IEP: a civilized conversation between people and different ideas. The first edition of the Autumn Classics went so well that it will (maybe) come back in other seasons.
The programme took place at the Arrábida Convent from November 16 to 18.

HIGHLIGHTS |

New | "Palestra Anual Alexis de Tocqueville 1998-2018" (Alexis de Tocqueville Annual Lecture 1998-2018) Book

Essentially, the book brings together the Alexis de Tocqueville Annual Lectures, which began in 1998. These are formal ceremonies to award diplomas which are preceded by a lecture by a distinguished guest speaker and followed by a formal dinner.
The name Alexis de Tocqueville may not be widely known, but it was -and continues to be- a name that expresses with particular elegance and distinction the project dreamt by IEP-UCP: a project of university autonomy, of orderly and quiet defense of freedom, of refusal of what Tocqueville called a "sterile conflict between Old Regime and Revolution" or "perpetual oscillation between serfdom and abuse".
