Culture

A Faculty is a privileged space for the intersection of experience and knowledge. In 2002 FEUP’s government established the Cultural Commissariat, in order to provide this community with culture and art.

Activities are regulary programmed, ranging from the theatre and cinema exhibitions, music and debates. Some of these activities are organized in co-operation with cultural institutions.

Library

The Library of FEUP is another point of access to culture, with several activities for the community.

As a way to encourage reading habits in the community, the Library created FEUP’s Reading Club, presenting sessions that encourage discussion about authors and literary works.

Alongside these sessions, is also launched a plan of Training for the community, whose goal is the development of information literacy skills.

In addition are regularly presented lectures, exhibits and sessions celebrating special dates.

The Library is also responsible for the FEUP Museum, created in order to inventory, conserve and promote the collection of artifacts and equipments of the institution.
