Abstract (EN): The Universidade do Porto is dedicated to T&L and R&D and, of course, to the whole training of individuals, with respect for they rights and active participation in the progress of the community. Like other colleges and universities around the world, Porto is working to change academic practices that have remained unchanged for centuries. The office of support for the new technologies in the education is trying, since 1999, to implement strategies that raise the teaching staff awareness towards new technologies in T&L. In 2003, the Institute of Common Initiatives and Resources of UP, through the GATIUP (Office of Faculty Support for the use of ICT) started a brand new project: E-learningUP|2003. This project is to be developed and followed from the perception phase of what e-learning is, passing to the development of contents, until the evaluation of the final results. This short paper will present this pilot project in several different perspectives: motivations, needs, procedures, partial results, obstacles and difficulties and also future expectations.
