In the highly multidisciplinary perspective inherent to engineering, it is essential to promote the link between the academy and the business world. This component takes on an even more strategic character as most of Portugal's industries are located above the Mondego River, which underlines the need for FEUP to establish strategic partnerships with companies. Aware of the dynamising role that these links play in the innovation ecosystem, the Faculty of Engineering has created the ILO - Industry Liaison Office.
FEUP's Industry Liaison Committee
The ILO aims to promote and stimulate links between FEUP and industry, thereby fostering competitive collaboration and the search for external resources. It acts as a link between our faculty and the outside world, facilitating interdisciplinary dialogue and seeking to ensure more effective responses to the research and innovation needs presented by companies.

The ILO is responsible for organising the Voice of Industry conference series, which aims to promote debate and discussion on emerging issues of interest to all those working in the national industrial sector. The main aim of this cycle of meetings is to bring academia closer to industry.
