Torres Vedras is set to host a new university campus, marking the first time the Lisbon Faculty of Medicine will operate outside the capital. The project, which involves a partnership between the local municipality, the Faculty of Medicine, and the Caixa de Crédito Agrícola, will be located at the site of the former 16th-century Arrábidos Convent. The initiative aims to foster innovation, research, and primary healthcare, while creating 400 direct jobs and serving as a hub for international medical talent and local agricultural research.
