Research

The institutional strategy for the policy of promoting scientific, technological and artistic activity is based on two structural axes: the creation of a vibrant research & innovation ecosystem and the promotion of research careers. UPB’s research and innovation ecosystem is made up of research and development units accredited and funded by FCT, associated laboratories, collaborative laboratories, research groups and the science and technology park (where UPB’s incubator is located). Student participation in scientific activities, technological development and artistic production is also an established practice. UPB regularly updates its training offer with a view to professional orientation. Students carry out innovation activities, research initiation and co-creation projects involving multidisciplinary teams of students, teachers, researchers, companies and organizations.
