About the Portal
The IT services portal focuses on providing information about the use of ICT and associated services in the University of Porto.
This portal aims at bringing together all useful information that gives the academic community an opportunity to install and configure electronic resources and software in an autonomous way. These resources contribute to U.Porto's success in terms of teaching and research.
It also provides access to a vast amount of information in the form of tutorials and gives recommendations on how to use the website according to security and privacy practices. In case a user needs specific help, we provide information on how to proceed.
