Lisbon's main airport is 10 km (6
mi) from the conference venue at ISEG - Lisbon School of Economics &
Management, Universidade de Lisboa.
Taxis are the easiest way to get
into the city center and are available outside the airport. The journey to city
center takes about 20 minutes. All of the taxis have digital meters and must
run them. The cost of getting from the airport to the (city center) is about 15
euros daytime. Most taxis do not accept credit cards. It is not necessary to
tip taxi drivers. You can queue for taxis outside the arrivals exit.
Transportation with Uber, Bolt and Free Now are also available in the city.
You may alternatively take the Metro
(subway). It may be quicker and will certainly be cheaper. The Airport station
is on the red line, taking you to Saldanha station in just 15 minutes and
to the city center Baixa-Chiado station (a change of line is needed) in about
25 minutes. You can buy the one-way ticket for 1.50 euros or the daily pass for
6.40 euros, allowing you to use the Metro, buses, trams, funiculars, elevator
and trains). Both types of ticket are issued on rechargeable cards so do not
throw them away.

Metro stations closest to ISEG are either Rato (yellow line) or Cais do Sodré

Rato you have either 706 (heading towards Cais do Sodré) or 727 and at Cais do
Sodré you have 706 (heading towards Est. Sta. Apolónia). In any case, you
should leave the bus at the Assembleia da República (the Parliament) stop.

UECE
Research Unit on Complexity and Economics, it is the main economics research
centre of ISEG, and a part of the consortium REM Research in Economics and
Mathematics. UECE produces research, both theoretical and applied, mainly in
economics, but also in the sciences of complexity and in inter-disciplinary
areas.
The
main UECE goals are:
·
Promoting
research on dynamical systems and on complexity, with an emphasis on economic
applications, and also on other economic fields, such as game theory and
macroeconomics;
·
Developing
new statistical methods applied to economics;
·
Studying
the consequences of dynamic, non-linear and complex systems in what concerns
economic analysis and forecasting;
·
Organizing
seminars, conferences and other events to disseminate scientific results;
·
Participating
in international research networks and promoting participation of researchers
in international congresses and conferences;
Promoting
and publishing papers, working papers and other documents to stimulate research
in these recent economic theory areas.
Founded in 1911, ISEG is a research-oriented institution,
whose mission is to instruct capable business and economics students and to
train the most skilled managers and mathematicians, providing each with cutting
edge knowledge in the corresponding areas of interest. ISEG is one of the top
prestigious and experienced business and economics schools based in Portugal,
one of the three top-ranked providers in these fields of education at
undergraduate, graduate and executive training levels.
ISEG distinguishes itself from its competition
through a clear focus on top quality research and teaching, and through an
intense relationship with the most important public and private Portuguese
Institutions and Corporations as well as with the development of long-term
relationships between ISEG and its alumni. Its facilities were totally
renovated recently providing a top-quality and stimulating academic environment
to the personal and professional development of future managers and economists.
ISEG is located in the city centre just next to
the portuguese Parliament and facing the Tejo river. It is also in walking
distance of The National Museum of Ancient Art, the bearer of the most important
collection of arts in Portugal.
Lisbon is the capital and largest
city of Portugal. It is also the seat of the district of Lisbon and capital of
the Lisbon region. Its municipality has a population of 564,477 in 84.8 km2,
while the Lisbon Metropolitan Area in total has around 2.8 million inhabitants.
Due to its economic output, standard of living, and market size, the Grande
Lisboa (Greater Lisbon) subregion is
considered the second most important financial and economic center of the
Iberian Peninsula. The Lisbon region is the wealthiest region in Portugal and
it is well above the European Union's GDP per capita average it produces 45%
of the Portuguese GDP. It is also the political center of the country, as seat
of government and residence of the Head of State.
Lisbon was under Roman rule from 205
BC, when it was already a 1000 year old town. Julius Caesar made it a
municipium called Felicitas Julia, adding to the name Olissipo. Ruled by a
series of Germanic tribes from the 5th century, it was captured by Moors in the
8th century. In 1147, the Crusaders under Afonso Henriques reconquered the city
for the Christians and since then it has been a major political, economic and
cultural center of Portugal. Unlike most capital cities, Lisbon's status as the
capital of Portugal has never been granted or confirmed officially by statute
or in written form. Its position as the capital has formed through
constitutional convention, making its position as de facto capital a part of
the Constitution of Portugal.
Lisbon hosts two agencies of the European
Union, namely, the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction
(EMCDDA) and the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA). The Community of
Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP), is also headquartered in Lisbon.
The
municipal holiday is June 13, St. Anthony's Day.
