Communication activities
In 2016, the Metropolitan Area of Porto was recognised as a Reference Site in the field of Active and Healthy Ageing by the European Commission (European Innovation Partnership – Active and Healthy Ageing). ISMAI is member of the Porto4Ageing consortium, a two-starred Reference Site and Partner Plus of the European Innovation Partnership and Healthy Ageing of the European Commission, that brings together over 80 organisations, the large majority of them established within the Porto Metropolitan Area, in the Northern Region of Portugal. The partnership is built upon the quadruple helix approach – it involves different stakeholders (regional governments and health and care providers, academia and research, industry and civil society), which are in good position to drive structural changes far beyond the scope any one organization could achieve on its own, aiming to innovate and experiment in real world settings. This consortium was created to respond to the different issues related to an active and health ageing, backed by the objectives of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy.
Other activities
ISMAI teachers and researchers are encouraged to actively get involved in international programs, as this is recognized of huge importance for our institution's sustainability. Mobility exchanges and R&D cooperation with other HEIs at european and international level, mainly through the participation in EU programs of Education, Science and Technology is highly valued. Thus several EU initiatives in diverse domains related with our institution's knowldege areas are followed by ISMAI research groups. So far ISMAI has participated in numerous international projects, both as partner and promoter.
