Unidade de investigação
1998 - Presente
IN+ is established as a cross-disciplinary research centre dedicated to enhance the integration of scientific activities in technology, innovation and policy with applications in industry and society. The research pathways are set with the aspiration of contributing to a sustainable society through cooperation with both industry and the community, fostering the scientific and technological culture in the socio-economic fabric, as well as of encouraging university students and other researchers in discussing challenges and new opportunities for engineering systems and related policy implications. Acting since 1998 in the domains of ‘Thermofluids, Combustion and Energy Systems’, ‘Industrial Ecology and Sustainability’ and ‘Technology Management and Policy’, IN+ has been integrating competencies in the different domains, with significant impact in sustainable energy systems and circular economy, technology policy and advanced socio-economic research methods, bringing together researchers from various academic backgrounds.
