Clubs

At The Lisbon MBA, we understand that our students not only have enthusiasm for learning inside the classroom, but a desire to grow and make an impact in the real world. Student clubs are a way for The Lisbon MBA students to apply their newly discovered skills to their personal and professional passions. Whether you have an interest in community volunteering, sharing ideas with other entrepreneurial students, applying team-building skills in a sports setting or engaging in social gatherings, there is a student club for you.

Student clubs can be focused on a particular industry, sport, or cultural activity. The clubs are entirely student-run and structured, allowing for increased development of leadership and organizational abilities. Faculty advisors are available to assist clubs with events and guest speakers as needed.

Here´s just a sample of some our clubs:

The Social Responsibility Club

The Social Responsibility Club was founded in 2006 and is composed of both International and Part-Time students who are constantly taking on the challenge to give more of themselves in order to make a positive impact on the outside community using the skills and tools derived from their work in The Lisbon MBA. The main goals of the club are:

• Developing people through knowledge
• Supporting social organizations in some of their needs
• Creating social responsibility awareness in the society

To achieve these goals, the Social Responsibility Club has collaborated with community institutions such as Junior Achievement, Crescer Ser, Raríssimas, IPO e Comunidade Vida e Paz through campaigns, fundraising activities, teaching and tutoring children. Our most recent achievement came through a fundraising activity for Centro Tabor which enabled us to donate camping equipment to the organization for its children and teenagers to enjoy in a healthy and pro-active manner.
The members of the club want to become business leaders committed to being partners in society. They know that the managers of today and of tomorrow need much more than core business skills – they also need to be aware of the social and environmental impact of their activities.
As individuals have responsibilities, so do companies. The corporate world has become more and more focused on “People, Profit and the Planet” in the last few years. Therefore the collaboration of all MBA students and the partnerships with companies and institutions are more than welcome. These collaborations are what allow us to expand our projects and therefore have a deeper impact in our society. Gonçalo Faria, the President of the SRC, invites you to collaborate in the club and bring your own ideas.

The Entrepreneurship Club (E-Club)
The E-club was created in 2006 by a group of curious and enthusiastic students willing to explore entrepreneurship and is represented by students from both the International and the Part Time Programs.

The E-Club's mission is to promote the entrepreneurial spirit in the MBA and foster future entrepreneurs. To do so, the E-club will:
- Promote communication within the unique TLMBA community: Students, Alumni, Faculty;
- Sponsor networking opportunities between the TLMBA community and external entities related to entrepreneurship;
- Provide its members with resources that will help them pursue their dream of creating and running their own business.
The E-Club has already organized several successful events, from seminars and presentations with key speakers such as Mr. Zeinal Bava (PT), Mr. António da Câmara (YDreams), and Mr. João Talone (Magnum Capital) to entrepreneurship challenges such as the European Business Plan of the Year (EBPY) competition, co-organized along with The Lisbon MBA, which welcomed projects from other great schools such as INSEAD, London Business School and IESE.

The E-Club is working on new partnerships and events that we hope continue to motivate The Lisbon MBA students to participate in E-Club initiatives and that keep building the entrepreneurship culture!

The 2011 main event will be Silicon Valley Comes to Lisbon, a full weekend of entrepreneurship initiatives organized by Beta-I (a dynamic Portuguese non-profit organization that offers Business Incubator Services) in partnership with The Lisbon MBA E-Club. We are looking forward to this event! More information will be disclosed soon!

The Entrepreneurship Club, invites you all to take part in the entrepreneurship challenge and follow your dreams. The time is now, join the E-Club!
