NOVA is part of the CULTURAL CORRIDOR, a project developed by the Specialized Committee on Arts and Culture of the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities (CRUP). The project aims to facilitate and promote access for higher education students to participating cultural spaces, whether monuments, museums, cultural centers, performance halls, or exhibition halls, throughout the country. In 2024, the NOVA Cultura Program established a protocol with the Lisbon City Council and EGEAC, allowing the inclusion of their cultural facilities on the platform. All higher education students from national public and private institutions, including mobility students and students from countries covered by Erasmus+ agreements, can benefit by presenting their student ID card for the special conditions indicated on the platform.

Lisbon City Council/ EGEAC

EGEAC facilities now have the following information regarding discounts applicable to Corredor Cultural beneficiaries:

• A 50% discount on tickets for admission to museums and monuments and tickets for shows, with proceeds going entirely to EGEAC, for students up to and including 25 years of age (to whom the Culture Pass rules do not apply), classified under the “Young People between 13 and 25” discount category;
• A 20% discount on tickets for admission to museums and monuments and tickets for shows, with proceeds going entirely to EGEAC, for students over 26 years of age (inclusive), classified under the “Cooperation Agreements with Public or Private Entities” discount category. The discount applies to tickets purchased in person at the ticket offices of various EGEAC facilities, and students must present proof of age and attendance at a higher education institution, in accordance with the Cultural Corridor guidelines.
