The HUB teams
INESC Brussels HUB articulates its effort through the work of teams composed of representatives from all the INESC institutes. Their work has a multiple focus: strategy development, capacity-building, policy analysis, contributions to the development of public policy, and definition of funding priorities. They also set the goals for INESCs’ collaboration with other EU public and private research organisations, large and small industrial stakeholders, independent EU associations, networks, platforms and the European institutions.
Management Committee
The Management Committee (MC) is our highest-level body of decision. The MC brings together 5 Directors of the 5 INESCs and the Head of the INESC Brussels HUB, is chaired by Inês Lynce (INESC ID) and vice-chaired by José Carlos Caldeira (INESC TEC), for the period between June 2022 and June 2025.
Policy and Operations Board
The Policy and Operations Board (POB) actively participates in the design, development and definition of the strategic and operational plans and goals of the INESC Brussels Hub, as well as ensures an active voice of each organisation in the strategies and activities to be developed. It is also responsible for policy analysis and development of public positions on key transversal R&I area and organising the HUB annual event in Brussels. The POB brings together senior support staff from each of the 5 INESC organisations and is chaired by the Head of the HUB Ricardo Migueis.
