History
Porto Business School traces its origins to 1988, with the establishment of the ISEE – Instituto Superior de Estudos Empresariais, created by the University of Porto in cooperation with Portuguese and multinational companies, in response to the demand for advanced education in management and leadership.In 2000, ISEE was replaced by the EGP – Escola de Gestão do Porto. In 2008, the designation EGP-UPBS was adopted, reflecting closer institutional integration with the University of Porto. Since 2010, the institution has operated under its current name, Porto Business School.
