Sintra cedes old NewsMuseum to ISCTE

The municipality of Sintra will transfer the former NewsMuseum building to ISCTE for educational purposes and provide €175,000 for renovations. This decision aims to enhance higher education opportunities in the region. The proposal was approved by the Municipal Assembly, despite some opposition due to procedural concerns. ISCTE, which opened a new campus in Sintra in 2022, currently serves over 13,000 students and is working on permanent facilities expected by the 2029/2030 academic year. The funding will be released in phases, contingent on project approval and completion.
