Research Projects
Decisive factors in the success of the creation of CIAUD-UPT were the research activity previously developed in the scope of CI-ESG and now at CIAUD-UPT, which regularly wins competitive funding from National and European research programmes, such as FCT, Culture 2000, Creative Europe, InterReg, POCTEP, etc. The high variety of projects was possible due to the high number of submitted annual bids, responding to the growing competitiveness of the group.
