Ocean Energy - Lisbon
Specialisation in Ocean Energy at IST Lisbon, Portugal
Offering Department and Institutions
Instituto Superior Técnico is the school of Science, Technology and Engineering of the University of Lisbon and the largest engineering school in Portugal. Instituto Superior Técnico is member of EUREC since 2011 and part of EUREC Master since 2012. Instituto Superior Técnico has been involved for a long time in research and education activities in renewable energy. Ocean energy research is carried at the IDMEC, MARETEC and CENTEC research centres, in close connection with the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Wave Energy Centre, an independent association involving 11 companies, 2 R&D institutions and IST. Wave energy has been subject of research for more than three decades, and recently tidal marine currents and offshore wind technologies also became a topic of research. Experience of staff in teaching ocean energy systems dates from 2004 in the Wavetrain (2004-08), Wavetrain2 (2008-2012) and OceaNET (2013-2017) Marie Curie Research Training Networks and in specialized courses on wave energy organized by ASME International Petroleum Technology Institute (2009, 2010 and 2012).

Accomodation
The majority of the students live in houses, flats (apartments) or rooms in private accommodation and share it with other colleagues.
A room in a private home costs about 300 € per month (utility expenses included) and students may have to pay for 2 months rent in advance. Meals are not included. An apartment with dining room, kitchen, bathroom and 2 rooms may cost around 500 € / 750 € per month but will include a one year rental contract. An apartment of this type can be shared with 3 other students.
The Mobility and International Cooperation Office has selected a few apartments in which a student may rent a room:

International Students Office
The Mobility and International Cooperation Office—NMCI coordinates the participation of IST in several international mobility programmes and networks. The office also provides assistance to mobility students, researchers and staff helping them integrate in the School, in academic life and, in particular, in the Portuguese society (accommodation, visas, opening bank accounts, etc). This work is carried out in cooperation with other offices and units, such as the Tutoring and NAPE.
