National Congress “Tutoring4Success: The Present and Futures of Tutoring in Higher Education”
2026
On 3 June 2026, the Faculty of Human Sciences of Universidade Católica Portuguesa, in Lisbon, hosts the National Congress “Tutoring4Success: The Present and Futures of Tutoring in Higher Education”. The event is organised as part of the UCP4SUCCESS project, a collaborative initiative dedicated to preventing dropout and promoting academic success.
Structured as a conceptual and experiential journey throughout the day, the Congress is guided by four key objectives and combines scientific evidence, institutional experiences and practice in the field, promoting critical and forward-looking reflection on tutoring in higher education:
- Deconstruct: Question and deepen understanding of the impacts, limits and potential of tutoring models;
- Construct: Systematise knowledge about tutoring models, approaches and practices, identifying guiding principles for action;
- Integrate: Discuss the integration of tutoring into institutional ecosystems, linking research, practice and decision-making, and exploring the organisational conditions for its sustainability;
- Reconstruct: Plan future paths for the development of tutoring practices, tutor training, research and educational policies, geared towards academic success, inclusion and students’ integral development.
The Congress is intended for leaders of higher education institutions, researchers, educators, teachers, students and other professionals interested in the subject of tutoring.
Participation is free, subject to registration. Further information will be announced in due course.
