Team Universidade Portucalense
We’re honored to present the team of Universidade Portucalense Infante D. Henrique in Portugal. Our university’s motto is “Think Global, Research globally”. Our team’s name – The Lusiads – is inspired by the accomplishments of the great Portuguese explorers praised by Luis Vaz de Camões in a renowned work of poetry. We are a group of highly curious and motivated young students from Law and International Relations eager to challenge ourselves. We look forward to connecting with our fellow teams in a spirit of cooperation: working hard, thinking disruptively and bringing new ideas to make NATO future proof. “Every generation has the obligation to free men’s minds for a look at new worlds … to look out from a higher plateau than the last generation. Your vision – our vision – is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.” – inspired by the words of modern explorer Ellison Onizuka we embrace this challenge. Stronger together, we are NATO!
