1.BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Lisbon MBA is a joint program from Universidade Nova de Lisboa and Universidade Católica Portuguesa in collaboration with MIT.

To support our internationalisation effort we are launching an International Ambassador Program. There are two main objectives with this activity. Firstly, to be able to attract even more foreign students to the program. Secondly, to start branding Lisbon as a powerful and singular MBA destination. We aspire to recruit 8 international ambassadors for the launch phase.
