The University of the Azores (UAc) is a public university located in the Autonomous Region of the Azores, with its headquarters in the city of Ponta Delgada. Founded on January 9, 1976, it emerged following the implementation of the autonomous regime in the Azores and the policy of expansion of higher education in Portugal. It sought, initially, to meet the multiple needs for staff training in the Region, raise its cultural level and promote its scientific and technological development.

Today, the degree of development that has been achieved in the Azores finds in the action developed by the University one of its main sources of dynamism. The various areas of teaching and research cultivated at the University have profoundly expanded knowledge of the complex reality of the sea, the land, life, history, society, and, in general, the culture of the islands.
