The spin-off Dependableware, created by researchers at HASLab – High-Assurance Software Laboratory, a Privileged Partner of INESC TEC located in the University of Minho (U.Minho), was one of the finalists of the COHiTEC initiative, promoted by COTEC Portugal. This U.Minho spin-off developed database management software which is more flexible, reliable, scalable and profitable comparatively to the solutions available on the market.

In 2012, BIP featured several (good) news about researchers awarded for their work in different components. Literary awards, Best Papers Awards, winning projects and other distinctions, they all illustrate the research potential of this Associate Laboratory. The BIP team made a list of last year’s awards and we came up with a staggering number of 31 awards received by our collaborators. It is safe to say that excellence lives at INESC TEC!

Combining skills is the path for excellence – the institution now integrates 12 R&D units and over 600 employees, including 200 PhD holders – has originated major challenges in terms of the efficient combination of expertise in the Associate Laboratory: could we use this diversity of skills to develop national and European multidisciplinary and added-value projects?

On 30th and 31st January INESC TEC received a visit from the SAB - Scientific Advisory Board following the last evaluation three years ago. The SAB is a group of leading international researchers that the Directors invite to evaluate INESC TEC and offer suggestions for the continuous improvement of the institute. The evaluation this year could not have been more positive: according to the SAB, INESC TEC has suffered exponential growth, it continues to strive for high-quality science and publications and it is an institute we should be proud of.

The minister of Science, Technology and Higher Education, Mariano Gago, has signed the order on INESC Porto LA’s status as Associate Laboratory to renew the statute for 10 more years, which will correspond to the funding scheme of five years plus a further five years. Within the order, the new LA model incorporates INESC Porto and the Associate Units.
20th June 2011
INESC Porto’s seven Central Units, four Associate Units and one Privileged Partner make a total of 569 collaborators, of which 193 have PhDs. These current dimensions give shape to the Associate Laboratory (LA) plan that INESC Porto aims to implement over the next five years and has submitted for recognition to the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). With Associate Laboratory status since 2002, INESC Porto adopted a new organisational model in 2007 with the main objective of broadening the scope of the institution as an Associate Laboratory. The challenge revolves around the growing network that allows for scientific consolidation with new groups that maintain their administrative autonomy and therefore will open new doors to large-scale projects that are more demanding and multidisciplinary. The mission is being accomplished.
