We are living in an increasingly globalised and interconnected world, in times of political uncertainty and technological acceleration, where insecure and chaotic zones coexist and clash with peace and order, creating complex challenges to individuals, states and the world as well.

We share the vison of Lisbon as a global city particularly suited to offer a space for reflecting, debating and
intervening about relevant issues of the international agenda, from development and globalisation to security and sustainability, with a focus on Portugal and Europe.

It is our aim to increase knowledge, promote critical thinking and new perspectives to address global challenges, in order to influence political agendas and deepen the study and discussion of issues that affect our life in community and that impact on the sustainability of the planet and on the standards of living of future generations.

The Lisbon Club was launched in December of 2016, as an outcome of the Lisbon Conferences project, an initiative of seven institutions, to which six individual members joined as founders of the Lisbon Club.

Apart from collective and individual members living in Portugal, the Lisbon Club also foresees the admission of members living abroad, regardless of their nationality. In terms of governing bodies, the Lisbon Club includes a Strategic Council of advisory nature, composed by outstanding figures of political, academic, corporate, cultural and civil society spheres.
