    Living in Portugal

    Living in Portugal

    Portugal - One of the best places to live

    Imagine living in a country where you can find a huge diversity of landscapes and environments in a small area: sandy beaches as far as the eye can see, golden plains and mountains, vibrant and cosmopolitan cities and a millennial heritage.

    Imagine that this country has a nice weather, welcoming and friendly people, a low cost of living, a democratic parliamentary regime with political stability, public health service, high quality public education systems and safety.

    Stop imagining! This is Portugal! Can you picture yourself living here?

    North of Portugal

    INESC TEC is mainly located in the north of Portugal. We have R&D researchers across different cities: Porto, Braga and Vila Real.

    The North of Portugal is dramatic and unspoilt, with fascinating medieval villages, historic castles and spectacular mountain ranges.

    In 2015 TripAdvisor chose the city of Porto as the best emerging destination in Europe and the third best in the world.

    Besides Porto, northern cities like Viana do Castelo, Guimarães, Bragança and Braga perfectly balance quality of life, lifestyle and modernity.

    “The knowledge I gained while at INESC TEC, which covers the entire lifecycle of a project, represents today one of my strongest assets now that I am managing a technological product that is constantly evolving and changing.”
    António Almeida
    Farfetch
    “My experience at INESC TEC was very positive and rich. I had the opportunity to work on different things, from developing software, to publishing papers, participating in exhibitions, and working directly with clients and end users. I also had the opportunity to work with people from different nationalities and to contact with their cultures. All this has allowed me to grow, both professionally and personally. I acquired different skills, and not just technical skills.”

    “When I started Jscrambler, being an innovation focused company, I structured the R&D using what I learned at INESC TEC as model. More importantly, I brought INESC TEC work ethics and values to the company, and that is what I try to pass to younger generations that join the company.”
    Pedro Fortuna
    Jscrambler
    “INESC TEC is an excellent school of skills and it greatly helps young engineers during their transition from college to the job market. However, INESC TEC does not only train great personnel. It is, in itself, composed of amazing people and a lot of talent. Due to this, when we move to the great institutions of the world, we do not even notice the difference.”
