IEP Alumni Weekend - "Autumn Classics II"
A book, History of the Peloponnesian War; fifteenpeople chatting around a table in two-hour sessions, led by Miguel Monjardino and hosted by Henrique Burnay, president of IEP Alumni Club; walks, the surrounding sea and the charm of the Arrábida Convent, where the idea of the Institute for Political Studies began, back in 1993. This was the second 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 second edition of the Autumn Classics went so well that it will come back in 2020!
Save the Dates for the third edition: 4 to 6 December 2020.
The programme took place at the Arrábida Convent from November 22 to 24. You can find here the article about the event that João Carlos Espada, IEP’s director, published in Observador on Monday.
All Alumni are invited to join the IEP Alumni Club – please click here to register.

"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".
