Iscte's commitment to sustainability is once again recognized internationally. The institution is part of the group of universities ranked between 401-600 globally in the Times Higher Education Sustainability Impact Ratings 2026, which evaluates 1604 higher education institutions around the world.
The highlight goes to two Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), Iscte is positioned in the 101-200 range. In SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Implementation of Objectives), the institution is among the 200 best universities in the world and among the reference institutions in Portugal.
Iscte's performance was also recognized in SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), with a position between 201-300, in SDG 12 (Sustainable Production and Consumption) also between 201-300 and in SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Effective Institutions), between 301-400.
This positioning reflects the reinforcement of institutional practices and results in strategic areas, namely: the impact of research produced at Iscte, measured through patents that cite university research and the consolidation of sustainable practices on campus and in the academic community. The publication of the report on the SDGs also contributes, which includes dimensions such as associations and culture and the development of partnerships.
Iscte's participation in the European Alliance of Universities PIONEER supports part of this recognition. The alliance promotes collaborative projects for the development of more sustainable, inclusive and resilient cities. The campus' Energy Efficiency Project and the investment in new sustainable buildings reinforce the commitment to reducing environmental impact and efficient use of resources.
Iscte supports this strategy in monitoring and transparency instruments, such as the 2024/2025 Sustainability Report, and in initiatives to involve the academic community, such as the Interactive Guide to Sustainability.
The results of THE Sustainability Impact Ratings 2026 confirm sustainability as a strategic axis of Iscte and reinforce its international projection as a sustainable, innovative and socially responsible university.
