Description

IN2PAST, Associate Laboratory for Research and Innovation in Heritage, Arts, Sustainability and Territory, is dedicated to the preservation, study and promotion of cultural heritage, generating intensive
collaborative relations between: 1) academic, laboratory-based, theoretical and empirical research; 2) public policies concerning the domains of cultural heritage, arts and civic memory; 3) an important
set of Portuguese cultural institutions and facilities, namely monuments, museums, archives, archaeological sites and natural parks.
The creation of IN2PAST thus contributes to the effective implementation of a national strategy for science and technology, particularly in regard to the ‘R&I Agenda for Culture and Cultural Heritage’.
As the Agenda states, it is necessary to create an «an instrument of interaction and articulation between researchers and R&D units, administrative entities, social agents, and companies focused on responding to societal challenges»

Description

The RISE Associated Laboratory is focused on clinical and translational research and innovation and aims to strengthen health research in the Portuguese Scientific and Technological Systems, from the preclinical and clinical stages to the community level, supporting and fostering the goals ofthe Portuguese policy for science and technology. In harmony with this general aim, RISE commits to meet three
key sustainability goals, relying on its strong human infrastructure of (clinical and translational) researchers and healthcare professionals who will act on a physical infrastructure merging the academia and the healthcare system:
• Promote scientific and technical careers for doctorates, while ensuring talent attraction for Portugal.
• Support governmental entities in monitoring public policy addressed to scientific, health, social, environmental and economic challenges.
• Increase and diversify funding sources from European Union and from other international agencies.

Description

ARI-NET is a new Associated Laboratory (AL) application for a network geographically distributed in mainland Portugal and in the archipelago of Madeira, with a total of nine poles. It is organized in two
main research areas: Ocean and Coastal Dynamics and Environmental Systems and Resources, covering of all aquatic ecosystems (from fresh water to marine
waters). The ARI-NET Strategic plan to support public policy response to scientific, health, social, environmental, and economic challenges relies on 5 Thematic Lines (TL) with a transversal view of the investigation of ecosystems, from exploration and monitoring, bioeconomic, global changes and governance and literacy.
