Climate Science &
Climate Change

Climate change and global warming are urgent areas of interest to humanity. Climate data, measurements and instrumentation focused on the oceans, atmosphere, climate, and near-space enables the monitoring of Earth systems dynamics.

Research Area

Earth Systems:
Oceans to Near Space

The capacity to observe Earth in its full verticality (from deep-sea to space) enables the understanding of its subsystems (oceans, land, air, and space) including complex dynamics.

Digital Transformation
in Manufacturing

Today we can imagine-design-make, essentially in real-time. Human-centered design not only has inspirational effects but it also has societal relevance, having a psychological effect, which has changed how design is seen and valued. Technology, particularly digital technology and additive manufacturing are providing a set of valuable tools capable of providing new possibilities.

Sustainable Cities

Cities have currently the potential to serve as living-labs and as research units for large-scale environments on Earth. Advances in open data platforms, integration and accessibility are needed for “smart, sustainable cities.”

Next Area

Education

The MIT Portugal Partnership 2030 (MPP2030) is focused on promoting collaborative research between Portuguese universities, industry partners, and MIT in areas of global relevance and with significant societal impact.

In all these areas, there’s an anchor of data science-intensive approaches and methodologies.

Education activities will be primarily promoted through calls for Doctoral Research Grants, which are intended for those already enrolled in Doctoral programs and who intend to develop research activities leading to the achievement of that degree.

Please visit the MIT Portugal’s 2020 Call for FCT-MPP2030 PhD Grants for further information.
