UNIAG – Applied Research Unit in Management, created in 2014, is made up of researchers from four Higher Education Institutions located in the northern region of Portugal: UPB, the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave (IPCA), the Polytechnic Institute of Porto (IPP) and the Polytechnic Institute of Viana do Castelo (IPVC).
UNIAG’s mission is to promote and develop applied scientific research, namely in the areas of tourism, management, regional development, social and business sustainability, entrepreneurship, competitiveness, corporate governance and information and communication technologies, in a transversal and multidisciplinary context, with the aim of establishing a strong link between theory and practice, as well as transferring knowledge to society.
UNIAG’s strategy is based on the following 2 pillars:
Excellence in research: developing and improving research in the areas of management and social sciences with tourism, stimulating and encouraging international scientific publication (authorship/coauthorship) in impact journals;
Engaging with society: using research capacity to respond to business needs, developing solutions and sharing academic knowledge with civil society.
