About the Research Center

INESC TEC is an Associated Laboratory coordinated by INESC Porto, a private nonprofit institution having as associates the University of Porto, INESC and the Polytechnic Institute of Porto.

 

INESC TEC is spread in four locations in the city of Porto, has a major pole in Braga (with the University of Minho) and a smaller pole in Vila Real (with the University of Trás os Montes and Alto Douro). The activity is conducted by 600 researchers, from which 200 hold a PhD degree. Its budget reaches 14 million Euros, from which some 35% result from direct R&D contracts with industry and some 30% is international activity.

 

Under INESC TEC, 12 Units are active in research, technology transfer, knowledge valorization and launching of spin-off companies. Its main areas are Telecommunications and Multimedia, Power Systems, Manufacturing Systems, Industrial Management, Information and Computer Graphics Systems, Optoelectronics and Electronic Systems, Robotics and Intelligent Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Real Time Systems, Computer Science, Critical Software Systems and Innovation.

 

The activity at INESC TEC runs under the paradigm of the knowledge to value production chain: knowledge and results generated at basic research are typically injected in technology transfer projects and therefore they receive added social relevance. The existence of an Innovation and Technology Transfer Unit assures the effectiveness of this model.
