Mission & Objectives
CIICESI’s mission is the promotion of Research, Development, Innovation and Knowledge Transfer, at the service of Public and Private Institutions
We achieve this goal through the meticulous design and execution of R&D projects, the transfer of scientific and technological expertise, specialized postgraduate training, the continuous development of groundbreaking products and services, and targeted dissemination efforts within our spheres of proficiency.
Our aim is clear: to make a lasting impact on the national and international stage, resonating with the scientific community, public and private institutions, as well as individuals in our local environment and beyond. At CIICESI, we are not just fulfilling a mission, we are building pathways to a more innovative future for all.
Our Research Group
At ESTG, we have made a deliberate choice to establish a single research group, encouraging researchers from diverse backgrounds to collaborate on joint research initiatives. However, this approach does not hinder the development of specific projects led by researchers with similar expertise.
The interdisciplinary nature of our center stands as a pivotal factor, particularly in the context of the region it serves - Tâmega and Sousa. As the only public research center in this region, our commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration is paramount.
Since 2017, we are engaged in strategic reflection to ensure that various areas of expertise could converge towards common goals, better aligning our efforts to meet the evolving needs of the business community.
