CESPU, CRL, is the entity that established the the Instituto Politécnico de Saúde do Norte (IPSN), which includes both the Escola Superior de Saúde do Vale do Ave (ESSVA) and the Escola Superior de Saúde do Vale do Sousa (ESSVS).

With a privileged location in the northwest of Portugal, between Porto and Galicia (Spain), the Municipality of Vila Nova de Famalicão is the gateway to Minho for those coming from the South, and the last reference of Minho for those coming from the North of Continental Portugal and Galicia. Its privileged location has motivated, since ancient times, the passage and settlement of peoples and civilizations that left marks of their riches and cultures in the territory until today.
