Centro de Investigação de Políticas do Ensino Superior

The Centre for Research in Higher Education Policies (CIPES) was created in 1998, and is the only entity of its kind in Portugal. Its mission then and now has always been to engage in scholarly research in order to advance critical thought and promote informed understanding about the vital policy issues confronting higher education in both the national and international arenas. The breadth and depth of projects and publications encompasses the full tapestry of higher education policy issues and reflects the wide diversity of academic backgrounds of the researchers at the Centre.
