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.

Find out more about the natural beauty of Portugal’s northern region, its landscape, history and the iconic Douro region at: http://www.portugal-live.net/UK/regions/north.html

Testimonials
“INESC TEC was fundamental in my new role, mainly, due to two reasons: the scientific training and in building my networking. In 2014, I was included in the project KEP and, afterwards, in its continuation, project mKEP. Thanks to these projects I deepen my expertise in the planning of kidney transplantations. Furthermore, it was also thanks to my activity in INESC TEC that I had the contact with international researchers with whom I continue to collaborate. ”

“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.”
