- Technical University of Lisbon - 75 years of historyPublication . Valério, NunoTechnical University of Lisbon was created through the Decree with the Force of Law No. 19081 of 2 December, 1930. Naturally it did not appear out of the blue. In fact, it can be said that the formation of Technical University of Lisbon was simply the fourth stage in the development of technical education in Portugal. The first of these stages had been the creation of technical education itself. This was a lengthy process, which began in the mid-18th century and was only completed in the mid-19th century. Until the mid-18th century, the education given to those intending to work in the technical professions had been provided within the context of the traditional corporations. The first step towards the setting up of a formal technical education system under the responsibility of the State was the creation of the School of Commerce (Aula de Comércio) in 1759, by the government of king José I, whose dominant figure was the Secretary of State Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo.
