INESC TEC, which brings together close to 700 researchers, of which 230 have PhDs, continues to maintain a high level of excellence in the science and technology produced by its researchers. Proof of that is the exponential increase in the publication of scientific papers.

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.

The Power Systems Unit (USE) and the Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Decision Support (LIAAD) at INESC Porto LA will be taking part in project SIMULESP (Simulador Especialista de Tempo Real Para Apoio A Decisão), in collaboration with Eletropaulo (São Paulo, Brazil).

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.

In this year, so notoriously marked by the economic crisis, INESC Porto has increased its budget from 10 to 12.5 million Euros. However, this is actually one of the most conservative budgets so far: close to 90% of the predicted income has been contractually guaranteed since the beginning of the year. With his feet firmly on the ground the INESC Porto President admits that despite INESC Porto having practically doubled in size over the last five years, “this does not mean an obsession with records”. José Manuel Mendonça explains that a group effort from all of the collaborators will be necessary to maintain this sustainable growth and he recognises that guaranteeing a high level of quality while growing so rapidly will be an enormous challenge.
