P.PORTO has 24 scientific research centres and groups, distributed across its eight Schools. These groups have participated in countless national and international R&D projects and have been recognised for the quality of their scientific production, be it in qualitative indicators for scientific literature, or impact of research. Ongoing national and international projects are proof of a tight relationship with business companies, organisations and society at large.
Eight autonomous R&D units recognised by FCT, the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, stand out: CISTER and GECAD, both with the maximum ranking of Excellent, as well as CEOS, CIETI, CIICESI, CIR, GILT e inED.
In network, several groups participate in large Associated Laboratories (GRAQ at REQUIMTE; LSA at INESC-TEC, where P.PORTO has a 10% share) and in other external research centres with a branch at P.PORTO: BIOMARK, CEI, CIPEM, CESEM, UNIAG and CiTUR.
In network, several groups participate in large Associated Laboratories (GRAQ at REQUIMTE; LSA at INESC-TEC, where P.PORTO has a 10% stake) and in other external research centres (BIOMARK, which participates in CEB, CEI, which participates in IELT, CIPEM, which participates in INET-md and the P.PORTO units of CESEM, UNIAG and CiTUR).
We present these centres and groups, by area of intervention, nevertheless noting that several of these perform multidisciplinary activities across areas.
