About the Academic Federation of Porto

The Academic Federation of Porto (FAP), founded in 1989, is the representative interlocutor of the largest academy in the country. Its creation marked a new phase in the evolution of the associative movement, with FAP assuming itself as the coordinating body of the student cause and building the means for the union of its various associations.

Since then, associativism in Porto has expanded, generated dynamic effects, and formalized its action, with extremely positive impacts on the qualitative improvement of Higher Education and Society. The institution consists of 26 Student Associations, faithful guardians of the interests of their nearly 80,000 students, integrating the four existing subsystems of Higher Education in Portugal: Public University, Public Polytechnic, Private and Cooperative Education, and Concordat Education.
