Who we are
The INESC Brussels HUB is the European representation of the five INESC institutes, each a leading Portuguese research and technology organisation (RTO). Located in the heart of the European Quarter in Brussels, the HUB strengthens INESCs’ presence within the European research and innovation landscape by connecting researchers, institutions and policymakers.
