The EPIS Association - Entrepreneurs for Social Inclusion was created in 2006, by a group of more than 100 entrepreneurs and managers from Portugal, in response to an appeal to civil society, by the President of the Republic Aníbal Cavaco Silva.
The President of the Republic is, by virtue of his duties, an Honorary Associate of EPIS, and will maintain this position after the end of his mandate.
The mission of EPIS is to be a national standard in the development, incubation, and internalization of new methodologies to promote academic achievement, the quality of educational and training systems, and the employability and professional placement of young people in Portugal.
