A definition of Societal health is needed at the outset of Iscte-Health as something that is simultaneously unifying, provocative, and a pointer to a path to follow. Without defining this concept, always in construction, we may get lost. More than 30 scholars have mobilised around health, but also our audience in the labyrinth of complexities that an holistic approach to such a transversal societal topic always entails. It does not, however, make sense to build and define concepts in isolation when, in the silence of the past, Iscte has been "creating" health in its own way. There was, and there is health in Iscte! So, from the collection of dozens of small lights and their alignment, a shining lighthouse can be made. If we open this text, conceptualising, in a necessarily incomplete manner, its silhouette, we close by joining, highlighting, and aligning the small lights that allowed Iscte to see and act upon health and society.
