Supporting Sports and Culture
Sports
Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra has increasingly supported and encouraged sports and as proof of this, two teams, men’s Basketball and men’s Indoor Football, were formed and coordinated by the Institute’s Central Administration.
IPC’s students may also take part in the activities developed by the student associations of the relevant schools, which include all kinds of sports activities. Special attention is given to the women’s and men’s rugby teams of the College of Agriculture Students’ Association for their competitive performance in Portugal and abroad.
Culture
Culture is, without a doubt, another field receiving much of the Polytechnic Institute’s attention. As the Institute’s main target is high cultural, scientific, artistic, technological and professional student education, it has helped promote and support a number of cultural and scientific events. In this area, also a publishing body was formed, called “Inovar para Crescer” (Inovate to Grow), which publishes the results of the cultural and scientific activity carried out by the school’s teaching staff and others.
