Nova School of Business & Economics (Nova SBE) and Amersi Foundation have created “Amersi Foundation Dialogue Room” – the first multifunctional space on campus, in  Carcavelos, dedicated to reflection, connection, and intercultural dialogue. 

Developed through a partnership between the School and the Foundation, this new space was created with the mission of fostering mutual understanding, exchange of perspectives, and stronger connections between different cultures and beliefs. 

On an increasingly international campus – home to more than 99 nationalities – the Amersi Foundation Dialogue Room serves as a meeting point for students, faculty, researchers, and members of the wider community. Designed to host conversations, initiatives, and moments of reflection, the space encourages respect, inclusion, and bridge-building across Nova SBE’s diverse communities. 

The room features a contemporary and inclusive architectural design that prioritizes universal elements while intentionally avoiding explicit religious symbols, establishing itself as a space open to contemplation, introspection, and human connection. 

This initiative reflects Nova SBE’s commitment to promoting diversity, inclusion, and intercultural engagement, recognizing dialogue as an essential tool for creating positive human impact through education and meaningful connections between people from different backgrounds.
