First steps, registration and welcome week for new students (2026/2027)

New students will begin their registration process on 24 August. The Técnico Welcome Week takes place from 1 to 4 September.

New students at Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, will begin their journey on 24 August at 9 am by completing their registration online. This registration must be completed by 5 pm on the same day. After completing this step, students are invited to participate in Welcome Week activities, which will take place from 1 to 4 September.

Registration and Signing in

Depending on their enrolment category, students must observe the following enrolment deadlines (from 9 am on the first day to 5 pm on the last day):

Students admitted through the National Call for Public Higher Education (CNAES) must create an online profile in the Connect platform. We recommend performing this process by using the Digital Mobile Key associated with the Citizen Card, so that registration can be completed more simply and autonomously. The Digital Mobile Key can be requested online.

Welcome Week

During Welcome Week, which takes place from 1 to 4 September*, new students will visit the campi and will be welcomed by the Técnico community. Students will have the opportunity to meet their mentor and tutor, their course coordinator, members of the Técnico Students’ Union, the Students’ Organisations, as well as members of the School’s Governing Bodies.

During these days and also on the weekend, the new students will have the opportunity to participate in several cultural activities to get to know the city of Lisbon and their future colleagues.

Family members of new undergraduate students admitted through CNAES will also have the opportunity to participate in a Welcome Session for Families on the day their students are welcomed. The event will take place in the Main Building at 10 a.m. Registration is required.

The welcome activities for students admitted through CNAES 2nd Call take place on 6 and 7 October*. For students admitted through the 3rd Call, the welcome activities will be carried out together with the Student Support Office.

*The data is currently being updated in line with the information provided on the DGES website.
