Instituto Superior Técnico

Research at IST is organized in centres and institutes that pursue challenging research programmes and address problems with a strong societal impact. These areas are often intertwined together and many centres work in multiple areas, crossing domains of competence and application. Research programmes range from long-term initiatives to more applied research with the involvement of industry.

Research goes hand in hand with advanced training where the research component is carried out in one of the research centres. Many of those centres address multidisciplinary research and host an international and multicultural environment.
