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.
