Our Mission

ISR offers an international environment with its teams being engaged in several vibrant international collaborative projects. Two types of activities are specially noteworthy: firstly, participation in R&D projects with premium universities, research centres and businesses, under the auspices of programs funded by the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation, European Community and other agencies; and secondly, advanced training and education initiatives, primarily through master, doctoral and post-doctoral programs for Portuguese and foreign researchers.

The following facilities constitute the core space and the main assets of our centre:
