ISPGAYA

Gaya Superior Polytechnic Institute is a private polytechnic institute in the north of Portugal with approximately 900 students. It was founded in 1990 to create and convey the latest science and engineering knowledge in ways that would be most useful to the society. The curricula has been continuously reshaped and adapted to satisfy the evolution of needs and expectations of both students and the labour market but has remained true to its original mission of fusing academic inquiry with social needs and linking new knowledge to applications. The institution aims to promote the full development of the personality of the students through a technical-scientific, socio-cultural integrated formation. Based on the human values, ISPGaya gives special relevance to the personal and communitarian dimension, preparing the students for a responsible freedom, flexibility in the change, solidarity and participative responsibility. ISPGaya also aims to stimulate the creation and diffusion of culture and science through the publication of a scientific journal and the edition of documents, studies and books.
