A investigação e a inovação na Universidade do Minho nos anos de 2023 e 2024.
MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR
At the University of Minho, research and
innovation are not simply outputs we measure — they are commitments we
embody. The years 2023 and 2024 demonstrated a university increasingly
defined by rigor of inquiry and clarity of purpose, converting
scientific creativity into real-world answers, shared progress, and
longstanding intellectual value.
Throughout this period, our
scientific ecosystem revealed both strength of foundation and openness
of vision. The network of research units continued to evolve as an
inclusive space for discovery and collaboration, sustaining a level of
quality that is now a defining institutional attribute: 90% of these
units were recognized as “Very Good” or “Excellent” by the FCT. This
acknowledgment reinforces a research model distinguished by disciplinary
diversity, organizational cohesion, and a cooperative scientific fabric
that brings together students, scholars, and innovation partners around
shared questions and shared impact. (...)
