NOVA IMS

NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS) is a leading school of NOVA University Lisbon in data science, artificial intelligence, and information management. Founded in 1989 in response to the growing need for new information technologies, it prepares professionals and researchers to turn data into valuable knowledge, creating tangible impact in society, businesses, and public policy.

• With more than 4,300 students from 100 nationalities, 30% of whom are international, NOVA IMS is recognized for innovative teaching, scientific excellence, and a close connection to industry. It maintains strategic partnerships with leading universities in the Americas, Asia, and Europe, strengthening academic mobility and collaborative research.

• Its Data Visionaries identity reflects this ambition: seeing beyond the surface, finding clarity in complexity, and transforming data into knowledge with real impact.

• NOVA IMS intends to increase the number of high level researchers, both assistants and full time, in its research centre. 
• This objective can be achieved by expanding the Doctoral Programme and by incentives that encourage excellence in investigation. These two initiatives will contribute to a greater visibility of the research in recognized international scientific publications. The research centre will seek to increase the financial return from investigation and development contracts.
