In a world where economic decisions shape organisations, public policy and society at large, understanding economics is no longer the exclusive preserve of specialists.
The Executive Program in Economics for Decision-Makers has been designed to make the fundamental concepts of economics accessible to professionals who, whilst not economists, need to interpret, analyse and use this language in the course of their work.
The programme combines theory with concrete examples, providing practical tools for the critical reading of economic information, the analysis of public policy and support for decision-making.
In a context marked by issues such as monetary policy, the national budget, geopolitics and European funds, this training enables participants to understand the real impact of the economy on business and organisations.
Developed in partnership with the Portuguese Association of Economists, this executive programme reinforces the rigour, topicality and practical relevance of the content, ensuring a strong link to the national and European economic context.
The blended learning format ensures flexibility, combining online sessions with in-person sessions, providing a training experience tailored to professionals with demanding schedules.
