Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa (ISEL)

ISEL (Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa) resulted from the restructuring of an institution with a long-standing tradition in engineering teaching in Portugal, the Industrial Institute of Lisbon (Instituto Industrial de Lisboa), which was founded in 1852 by Royal Decree signed by Queen Maria II. In 1988 it became part of a network of Polytechnic Higher Education institutions, integrated in IPL - Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon (Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa).
