Universidade Católica Receives 2 Million Euro Donation from Logoplaste

Universidade Católica Portuguesa received a donation of 2 Million Euros from Logoplaste, through its Shareholders Filipe de Botton, Alexandre Relvas and Carlyle.

Filipe de Botton and Alexandre Relvas are the first UCP Alumni to make a donation to the new campus of Universidade Católica in Lisbon, Campus Veritati.

Filipe de Botton, Alexandre Relvas and Alex Wagenberg, representing Logoplaste, donated 2 million euros to the new campus, which will be built on the premises of Universidade Católica Portuguesa in Lisbon. This campus will allow the growth of the Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics, a management school of Universidade Católica Portuguesa in the European top 30, with strong internationalization and that also has a partnership with the Kellogg School of Management for the executive training of business leaders.

Logoplaste has supported the activities of Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP) for over 40 years, participating in several joint initiatives. This donation is a natural consequence of this successful and long-term partnership between UCP and Logoplaste. Filipe de Botton and Alexandre Relvas are both former UCP students, and were distinguished in 2006 with the "Career Award". They are regular speakers at UCP, sharing their experience as successful managers.

Alexandre and Filipe were both, sequentially, Presidents of the Alumni Association for more than 15 years. Their commitment to the University, as well as to their students, is unquestionable.

The spirit of "giving back" is a long-standing tradition at Logoplaste and adopted by the Carlyle Group. When the proposal for the donation was presented, the decision was a natural one for Carlyle and Alex Wagenberg

The project will begin construction later this year and is scheduled to open in late 2023.
