Internationalisation is one of the strategic and transversal commitments of the Faculty of Law of the University of Lisbon. As a pioneer and leader in Portugal in the field of legal cooperation with the Portuguese-speaking world (Brazil, Africa, Goa and East Timor), the Faculty of Law also has a significant network of partners among the most important Law Faculties and Research Centres in Europe, either through bilateral agreements or through membership of global networks and organisations of Law Faculties.

The strategy for the future in this area is based on two pillars: scientific research and teaching. In this context, the mobility of students from the three teaching cycles, teaching staff and non-teaching staff is a fundamental strategic component. The continued deepening of exchange and co-operation ties with the Portuguese-speaking world and the expansion of its network of partners beyond the European continent are also priorities. Within the framework of the European Union, and particularly in the context of the Horizon2020 programme, we also intend to participate in transnational consortia for research projects. Finally, the conditions have been created for students to take part in the largest and most prestigious internationalmoot court competitions, representing Portugal and the University of Lisbon Law School.
