Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year of 2025

Dear Members of Our Academic Community,

As we near the end of another year, I would like to take a moment to address each of you. Your dedication and hard work make the Polytechnic University of Leiria a place of excellence, inspiration, and transformation.

Christmas is more than just a celebration—it’s a time for reflection, sharing, and renewal. It’s an opportunity to cherish the bonds that unite us, to recognize the impact of our collective efforts, and to look ahead with hope and confidence.

This past year brought unique challenges but also gave us accomplishments that filled us with pride. Your resilience, creativity, and commitment were key in overcoming obstacles and reaching new milestones. Whether in the classroom, the lab, the office, or beyond, every contribution has played a vital role in building a stronger, more future-ready institution.

I hope this festive season brings you moments of peace with family and friends, along with inspiration to recharge and face the new year with determination and optimism.

As we welcome 2025, let’s encourage each other to dream bigger, embrace innovation, and turn challenges into opportunities. May the upcoming year bring academic and personal success, enriching experiences, and rewarding collaborations.

I sincerely thank each of you for your invaluable contributions to strengthening our institution and for the positive impact we continue to make in society. Let us move forward with enthusiasm and a spirit of cooperation, making a meaningful difference in the world.

With warmest regards, on behalf of myself and the entire Presidency team of the Polytechnic University of Leiria, I wish you all a

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year of 2025!
