The Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB) (www.ipb.pt) was established in 1983. Since then, thanks to the contribution of several generations of students, staff, faculty members, as well as external institutions and individuals, much has been accomplished at this institution in pursuit of a shared goal of regional and national development. With over 40 years of history, IPB has graduated more than thirty thousand students, becoming a key player in the decentralization and democratization of access to higher education.

Constituted currently by six Schools, the IPB thus has covered the entire range of training and technical-scientific skills:

Scientific development, innovation and internationalization

The IPB has built the most qualified teaching staff in Portuguese polytechnic higher education, currently with more than 80% of its teaching staff having a doctorate, and is now recognized nationally and internationally for the impact and excellence of its scientific production and applied research in various areas, as attested by U-Multirank, Scimago, Clarivate Analytics and Shanghai Ranking. In 2019, this scientific excellence was attested by the classification of its Research Centres, two with the classification of Good and two with the classification of Excellent, according to the Foundation for Science and Technology, the highest entity for accreditation and funding of the national scientific system.

CoCreate Innovation is the motto of IPB's strategic plan and summarises the institution's vision of the future. IPB aspires to establish itself as an ecosystem for co-creating innovation, involving the scientific community and students in firm partnerships with companies and organisations, with the aim of creating a knowledge-based regional economy with strong international links.

IPB is today a multicultural institution where 30% of its students have non-Portuguese nationality, ranking in the first positions of the European U-Multirank ranking and the Erasmus+ Program. Equally important, 25% of IPB graduates have international mobility experience during their training, a percentage already above the European Union's target for 2020 (20%).

The City of Chaves

Situated on the northern border with Spain, the city of Chaves was the scene of the most varied civilisational reminiscences in Portugal's history. A land of remote occupations from prehistoric times to the present day, this is where great civilisations and cultures such as the Romans, Visigoths and even Muslims have passed through. Among these civilisations, the one that flourished most in these lands behind the mountains was undoubtedly the Roman, of which Aquae Flaviae was the worthy representative. A land of enchantment and monumentality, expressed in its forts, castles, bridges, churches and convents, Chaves offers visitors an encounter with the history and culture of the people of Alto Tâmega and astonishment at the scenic nature that emanates from its valleys.
