As well as reaching a wider audience, Campus U.Porto has improved the quality of the content and design of the former U.Porto ALUMNI magazine, and has also tried to make better use of the potential of online. Campus U.Porto has an attractive design, new headings and more pages than the previous magazine. All of this is in keeping with the best that U.Porto Alumni had to offer and, of course, while paying great attention to our Alumni students and trying to strengthen their connection to the University.
Campus U.Porto is sent to the email addresses of the members of our academic community, with online being its main form of distribution. However, the printed edition is available at the Rectory, faculties, R&D centers and other University spaces. The paper magazine can also be requested from the Rectorate's Communication and Image Service by emailing [email protected].
The former U.Porto ALUMNI Magazine
One of the closest ways in which the University of Porto (U.Porto) relates to its Alumni students is through its magazine U.Porto ALUMNI. The magazine U.Porto ALUMNI began to be published in June 2007, with a print run of 60,000 copies and distributed to allAlumni students registered with the Alumni Student Office.
The evolution of information and communication technologies has had a strong impact on the way traditional media are produced and edited, as well as on information consumption habits. Today, many people prefer to consume news content on their personal computers, smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. Aware of this reality, the successor to the U.Porto Alumni Magazine offers a very attractive and ergonomic digital version, with the same content published on paper and multimedia applications (videos, photos, audio, animations, etc.).

In this issue, we report on a "revolution" underway at the University, reflected in a series of profound transformations in teaching methodologies at U.Porto (under the heading In Focus). It is therefore a pedagogical revolution, resulting from the introduction of a series of innovations, many of them technological, in the classrooms.
Eduardo Aires, the designer who conceived the city's new visual identity, is also an innovator. In this issue, the author of the "Porto." brand is profiled and his main projects are listed (Percurso). U.Porto Alumni was also in conversation with another primus inter pares of the U.Porto academic community, architect Nuno Portas, who spoke about SAAL, contemporary cities and urbanism in general (Face-to-Face).
Also noteworthy were the U.Porto's new employability strategy (Porto, City, Region), new scientific advances in the field of cell regeneration (Investigar) and the reopening of the renovated Planetário do Porto (Culture).
In this issue, we also remember the adventures of the building that housed the Rectory on Rua D. Manuel II (Vidas e Voltas) and enter the strange world of LIKEarchitects (Empreender).
This edition also sees the progressive enrichment of "U.Porto Alumni" with multimedia content. The result of a partnership with TVU, this work can be seen in the interviews with Eduardo Aires and Nuno Portas or in a visit to the renovated Porto Planetarium (see videos).
