About the Event
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.
