NOVA IMS is a pioneer in Portugal, standing out for the adoption of generative artificial intelligence in its classrooms, by providing teachers and students access to Microsoft Azure OpenAI technology. This revolutionary partnership aims to leverage the opportunities of generative AI in this area, innovating teaching practices, boosting education for today's challenges and promoting positive changes in learning methods.

Miguel de Castro Neto, dean of NOVA IMS, expressed the importance of this initiative: "NOVA IMS looks at IA as an opportunity to promote pedagogical innovation and not as a concern or threat to be fought". The partnership between NOVA IMS and Microsoft emphasizes this vision, ensuring that the innovation potential of generative AI is present in 21st century education, preparing students for an ever-changing world of work.

The collaboration protocol between NOVA IMS and Microsoft aims to strengthen the relationship between the university and companies, developing mechanisms for mutual help and exchange to make the most of this disruptive technology in the academic and business environment. This way, NOVA IMS reinforces its position as a reference institution at the forefront of education and innovation, sharing a culture of cooperation and responsibility, whilst also preparing its students for the challenges of a world increasingly technological and guided by artificial intelligence.
