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.

IEP Alumni Weekend - "Clássicos de Outono"
“Clássicos de Outono” is a programme entirely thought for IEP-UCP alumni. Functionning as a seminar, but not with the same formalities as an academic programme, the idea is to revisit the classics in a relaxed environment, in which the reading and conversation will be directed by Miguel Monjardino.
The programme will take place during the weekend from November 16 to November 18, at Convento da Arrábida.
Registrations are limited to 16 Alumni.
IEP-UCP is proud to let you know that Bernardo Ribeiro, IEP Alumnus 2017, finished his Master Programme in War Studies at King's College with Distinction.

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".
