The School of Dance (ESD) uses 2 management instruments that frame its activities annually: the Annual Activity Plan and the Annual Activity Report.

In the Annual Activity Plan, ESD intends to define strategic goals, prioritize options, program actions and allocate and mobilize resources for the upcoming school year. As an organic unit of the Polytechnic University of Lisbon (IPL), ESD prepares its Activity Plan considering the IPL Quadrennial Plan 2021-2024.

In the Annual Activity Report, ESD evaluates the results of its journey through the school year and structures relevant information to continue in the future.
