IST Press, the university’s publisher of INSTITUTO SUPERIOR TÉCNICO, was established to provide educational materials of exceptional scientific and pedagogical quality to higher education students, faculty members, and the general public. These materials encompass a wide range of disciplines, including engineering, science, technology, the arts, as well as other cultural domains.

IST Press aims, firstly, to promote the development of engineering education and scientific research in Portugal, and secondly, to contribute to the prestige and image of IST, and value the skills, knowledge and experiences at Instituto Superior Técnico, as well as other universities. IST Press also seeks to highlight the multiple and complex relationships that pertain to science, technology, culture, and society.

Works that contribute to the fields of teaching and research, as well as scientific dissemination, will be considered for publication.  Furthermore, texts that address university issues will also be considered.

To carry out its mission, IST Press has a text selection and evaluation component, an editorial production area and a distribution area.
