The Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine of NOVA University Lisbon (IHMT NOVA) is a Portuguese institution that will celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2027, reaffirming its position as a leading institution in the fields of tropical medicine and global public health. Its rich historical heritage, reflected in its research and educational activities, is also evidenced by the preservation of an extensive museum collection and the significance of its library, bearing witness to a longstanding commitment to international cooperation, particularly with Portuguese-speaking African countries (PALOP).
The IHMT NOVA has continued to build on this legacy through the ongoing refurbishment and enhancement of its facilities, transforming the building into a truly distinctive and unique venue for scientific and international events, where tradition meets modern spaces designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and global dialogue.
