The IEP-UCP Open Day is, since 2013, organized under the format of a simulation of a “Summit of Democracies” led by the event's Director, Prof. Mónica Dias, and Co-Director, Prof. Orlando Samões. This is an initiative that invites secondary school students to debate the current political situation and democracy worldwide. In 2020, due to the impossibility of bringing together students, professors and guests in person, the Open Day was held in an online format, joining us through the Zoom platform. Click here to read the Summit of Democracies 2021 Programme.
The Summit of Democracies 2021 was attended by 34 teams of Secondary Schools from North to South of the country, as well as several students and professors from schools without a team. More than 300 participants joined the Opening Session.
The Opening Session was presided by José Manuel Durão Barroso and counted with the presence of Elisa Ferreira (Commissioner at the EU), Ambassador Nuno Brito (Permanent Representative of Portugal at the EU), Isabel Capeloa Gil (UCP's Rector) and João Carlos Espada (IEP-UCP's Director). Click here to watch the Opening Session's live stream on IEP's YouTube channel, which counts now with more than 1000 views.
The Summit also had the presentation of the IEP-UCP's Director, Prof. João Carlos Espada, and the Coordinator of the BA Programme in Political Science and International Relations, Prof. Orlando Samões, during the Open Class. Click here to watch the Open Class' live stream (from 6:37:42) on IEP's YouTube channel.
The Institute for Political Studies is very grateful to the European Parliament Representation in Portugal for its kind support, in the person of Dr. Pedro Valente da Silva, Head of the European Parliament's Office in Portugal, who will award the EUROSCOLA Prize. The prize consists of a trip from the selected school to Strasbourg, to participate in the Euroscola Sessions that take place the following academic year.

"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".
