NOVA IMS rallied close to a hundred members of its community - students, professors, staff, and alumni - in an effort to plant over a thousand pine trees in the Serra de Carnaxide. This initiative, carried out in close collaboration with the Oeiras City Council, underscores the institution's active role in promoting sustainable practices and contributing to nature conservation.

“Our mission extends beyond academic training; it also includes instilling in our students, staff, and alumni the importance of responsible and proactive behavior in the face of contemporary environmental challenges,” stated Miguel de Castro Neto, Director of NOVA IMS. “Planting more than a thousand pines symbolizes our commitment to sustainability and to creating a greener future."

This initiative reflects NOVA IMS's ongoing commitment to lead by example, not only in providing excellent education and research but also in fostering ecological awareness and sustainability. Through concrete actions like this, the institution reaffirms its commitment to social responsibility and to making a positive impact on the community and the ecosystem.
