Ethics Council
The word Ethics comes from the Greek “ethos” and refers to the set of values that guide people’s behaviour in society. The sharing of these values is essential for the well-being of individuals within society and for their interaction in family, social, and professional contexts.
In the academic environment, Ethics cuts across education, research, leisure, and professional activities. Healthy relationships between students, lecturers, researchers, and staff are fundamental to the maturity of teaching and knowledge creation, as well as to their effective dissemination.
In the risk-filled and unpredictable societies in which we live, it is essential that young people undergoing academic training adopt ethical principles that enable them to respond to present and future challenges with responsibility and autonomy.
It is the responsibility of each and every one of us to honour the ethical heritage developed over centuries and to ensure a University that embraces and promotes Ethics in every aspect of its life.
The President of the Ethics Council
Luís Cláudio Ribeiro
