This institution holds memories from different generations as well as life experiences and memorable partnerships.

Marketing Digital Group — NDM The Multimedia Marketing Lab (SMM) is dedicated to teaching and research in the Marketing field. Rooms 024 and 209 are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, both in terms of software and hardware. Whenever vacant, the rooms are open to Marketing students and teachers, allowing them to develop curricular and extra-curricular activities. For more information, go to office 339.
Managerial Simulation — SE The courses of Managerial Simulation (SE) were brought into the program of Accounting and Administration, at ISCAP, in the Summer semester of the school year 2003-2004. Besides exempting students from the internship required to access the Chamber of Chartered Accountants, this course aims to create a demanding, complex, universal and technologically advanced business environment, without the risk inherent to the real business world. In this controlled environment, companies are comprised of 3 or 4 student elements who, through business management information systems, establish commercial and institutional relations with several organizations. These companies operate in very diverse areas, ranging from food products wholesaling to shoe producing and retailing. The students’ main objective is to manage their companies at every level, to complete an available plan of costs and profits. Going beyond traditional assessment methods, student evaluation relies on available technology and teachers’ dedication. Students are assessed both individually and as a group.
27
Orientation Week Before the beginning of each semester, COMAP together with ISCAP International Office organize an OrientationWeek. We expect that this event can help you adapt better your new context.

Cultures on the Move This is mainly an event organized for ISCAP Students. However, your participation plays a very important role! You will be invited to do a presentation on your country, culture and institution, together with your national colleagues. More detailed information will be provided during the semester by ISCAP International Office and your Business English teacher.
International Week ISCAP organizes every year an International Week, welcoming a great number of visiting lecturers. Moreover, we also organize various activities for all the school. We count on your cooperation and participation!

The City The North’s well-known capital, Porto is Portugal’s second largest city and a thriving industrial centre, successfully blending commercial tradition with an atmosphere of unpretentious charm and casual sophistication. Rich from centuries of trade, modern Porto is as much a cosmopolitan centre as it is a city steeped in the historical events of the past. Magnificently situated on the great gorge of the River Douro, the city is best known for its striking bridges and the muchcelebrated Port Wine. Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in December 1996, the ancient Ribeira riverside district is a maze of narrow, twisting streets and shadowy arches. The ongoing restoration of this lively quarter is attracting a growing number of restaurants, bars (specially the Galerias de Paris area) and discos (namely in the Industrial Area). Crossing the spectacular two tiered Dom Luís bridge brings you to Vila Nova de Gaia, the true home of Port Wine, where visitors can tour the world famous cellars. We also recommend that you visit the city’s various gardens and museums, particularly the magnificent City Park and the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art.

FESTIVITIES OF SAINT JOHN
June
June 24 is Porto’s biggest annual festival, honoring the city’s patron, Saint John. Although Festivities of Saint John are held in many other towns, it is in Porto that they are most colorful. They are held at least since the XIV century and have expanded greatly since the XIX century. Nowadays, in the night of 23, at every corner of the city there are “cascatas” (religious motifs), bonfires and groups of merry-makers singing and dancing all night (and whacking each other in the head with plastic hammers). Most events are held at the Fair of Fontainhas.
JULY FRANCESINHA FESTIVAL Francesinha is a specialty made with slices of bread, melted cheese, different kinds of pork meat and a special secret sauce.
