We are delighted to have you join us as a new faculty member. Here, you will be part of a dynamic community that blends academic excellence, Porto’s entrepreneurial spirit, and a global outlook to shape leaders committed to a more sustainable and ethical world. As one of Portugal’s prestigious ‘triple crown’ accredited business schools (EQUIS, AMBA, AACSB), we set the benchmark in teaching, research, and real-world impact.

To help you settle in, we’ve compiled this Faculty Handbook—a go-to guide designed to support you as you navigate your new role. It covers everything from our institutional background and core values to governance, key regulations, and faculty-related procedures. You’ll also find insights into our vision, mission, and core areas of activity, ensuring you have everything you need to thrive in your teaching, research, and outreach.

The handbook is in a digital format to support sustainability and reduce paper use. It includes links to regulations, webpages, and other resources, ensuring easy access to the latest information. While printing is an option, we recommend using the digital version for its convenience and environmental benefits.

We’re excited to have you on board and look forward to growing together.

Welcome to the Católica Porto Business School community!
