The number of students in Telecommunications at Técnico Lisboa (and also at other schools) has been decreasing enormously in recent years.  This decrease is due to a growing attractiveness of other areas of technologies (even within ICT in general) and a wrong perception about Telecommunications currently.

In recent decades, the area of Telecommunications has been among those that have experienced the fastest and most disruptive evolution.  Currently, in addition to traditional topics, Telecommunications are closely linked to information technology and data science, as well as specific applications to the most varied economic sectors.  5G is the latest challenge.

InTele (An Initiative for Telecommunications) is a partnership between Técnico Lisboa and the largest companies in Portugal with activity in the area of Telecommunications, to attract students to this area and improve the studying conditions.  In order to achieve this, specific actions will be implemented at several levels, with the support of companies.

InTele is coordinated by Técnico Lisboa, by Prof. Luis M. Correia.
