Positioning itself as a Research University, the U.Porto is currently one of the great producers of Science in Portugal, in all areas of knowledge.
This result reflects the enthusiastic effort by the Research and Development Units (UI) of the University, as well as the activity carried out by the different entities that make up our Research Ecosystem, alongside with the University's active involvement in Associate Laboratories and Collaborative Laboratories and the significant participation in the infrastructures included in the National Roadmap for Research Infrastructures.
The character of excellence that defines research, scientific production and the entire research community of the U.Porto is made particularly evident by the increasing prominence of the University in the main international academic and scientific rankings.
