In the wake of the devastation caused by Depression Kristin, NOVA University Lisbon is launching a series of support measures for local communities and students from the most affected regions, reinforcing the University’s commitment to solidarity, well-being, and mutual aid.
As part of this initiative, the academic community is invited to participate in a solidarity collection of essential items, including non-perishable food and hygiene products, to address the immediate needs of the affected populations. This action reflects NOVA’s values of social responsibility and highlights the importance of mobilising collective efforts in emergency situations.
Collection points include:
- Cafeteria of the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences;
- Cafeteria of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology;
- Rectory Building;
- Bar at the Alfredo de Sousa Residence Building;
- Reception of Colégio Almada Negreiros;
- Reception of ITQB NOVA;
- Reception of IHMT NOVA.
In addition to the collection of goods, NOVA is providing psychological support to students from the most affected areas. Students with scholarship status will be contacted directly by SASNOVA, while all others can seek assistance through the Human Development Office via email: gdh@unl.pt.
The Rectory is maintaining close contact with the “Mission Structure for the Recovery of Affected Areas” to identify areas where the University can contribute effectively. This initiative aims to provide tangible support to affected communities and students, recognising the severity of the situation and the urgency of the required response.
