Here, we carry out Innovative research on contemporary societies, addressing their legacies and facing their challenges. While we promote excellence in research, we also promote dialogue between science and society on topics related to Inclusion and Vulnerabilities, Citizenship, Sustainability, and Memories and Legacies, where our impact is tangible and lasting. We strongly invest in advanced scientific training, carrying out doctoral programmes and postgraduate specialisation and training courses. All teaching is closely linked to the theoretical and methodological approaches developed in ongoing research at ICS-ULisboa, as diverse as the societies we study. We are committed to creating a working and learning environment that is as inclusive as it is dynamic, where all voices are heard and valued. From cutting-edge research to advanced scientific training that shapes lifelong learning for young people and adults, we are committed to contributing positively to society. After all, knowledge only makes a difference when it is rigorous, shared, discussed, and applied. While we look back with pride and gratitude on ICSULisboa's 60-year history, we also have our eyes firmly set on the future. Join us on this exciting journey as we continue to shape the future of social sciences and contribute to a more informed, reflective, and connected society.

7 “The PhD in Migration provides training that dares to integrate different disciplines and aspects within a current and questioning training. Diversity is present in researchers and research, which enriches not only the frequent debates we have, but also the visits and international events received and organized. The interdisciplinary training we receive in the first year allows a global look at migration issues. In the second year, we enrol in the faculty where we will follow our research project, in my case the ICS. The accompanying of the research and the feeling of belonging to a research group helps us delve deeper into our studies. I believe that this is the great power of the PhD in Migration and something that I will take as my guide for the rest of my career." Lais Saleh-Hughes Testimonials
