JOÃO DUQUE

The world is changing rapidly and dramatically. New challenges to our businesses, our families, and the State are posed by population growth, the ageing of many nations, climate change, the integration of certain societies and the disintegration of others, the exponential intervention of technology in our lives, the scarcity of natural resources for a larger but yet more sustainable society, the challenges to democracies and the temptations of totalitarianism, and also new forms of access to information and new ways of studying.

All these rapid changes mean that ISEG has to adapt, to transform itself, and assist those who want to follow us on learning journey who are also willing to change and become agents of change. ISEG has to keep changing, changing what it researches and how it teaches as it helps economic agents to change. Basically, it must continue to do what it has being doing all along these 111 years of its existence: to understand when it is time to change the medicine, because the patient is no longer the same.

Only an eclectic school that challenges itself can respond to this social need. That is why this School is not, and will not be not be an institution devoted to a dogmatic teaching serving any particular economic or political persuasion of any economic or political current, but rather a diverse collective that challenges and surpasses itself.

In the face of such challenges, ISEG nowadays assumes that it is a school where its faculty and students, supported by its non-faculty staff, are the basis for teaching and research that is based on ethical, innovative, and entrepreneurial principles, from which three key pillars rise: sustainability, internationalisation, and service to society.

The grounding of our School, which is made up of its people, is the noble mission of research and education. ISEG wants to be a school that seeks knowledge in order to teach it, rather than a school that only teaches what it already knows. That is why its mission statement states the aim of creating knowledge in first place, followed by its transmission. 

The urgency of the changes imposed by societies, especially regarding complying with the 17 sustainable development objectives, result in sustainability being one of the strategic pillars that influences our choices of research and teaching alike, together with how we serve society with the ambition to become a European centre of linking together knowledge and acting as a catalysis in the area of sustainable development.

The other two pillars are internationalisation and service to society. Nowadays, ISEG is an open platform that has not lost sight of its role of striving to provide answers to the Portuguese in terms of their needs in the area of economics and organisational management. However, it aims to do so in an increasingly international way at the level of the students and faculty, and even its staff. Accordingly, its members intervene and reflect in varying ways regarding both Portuguese and foreign society. They make proposals. They participate in civil society. This is a School that is open to outsiders and is outwardly facing. That’s the way it is and that is the way that it must continue to be. It is in our DNA, and in me you’ll have a faithful guardian of this heritage.

Bearing all this in mind, I have no doubt that the coming years are going to be fascinating!
