INESC Brussels Hub has been featured in Portugalglobal, AICEP’s flagship magazine. AICEP is a government entity focused on encouraging foreign investment in Portugal as well as in potentiating the success, internationalization and export activities of Portuguese companies abroad.
The Hub represents and promotes the European interests of the five INESC institutes (INESC-ID, INOV, INESC MN, INESC Coimbra and INESC TEC), placing INESC as a research and innovation leader on the European stage. As this piece highlights, “Participation in European research and innovation programs and initiatives is absolutely critical,” and INESC has an equally fundamental role to play in defining research policies moving into an ever-more complex future.
