The Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering at Coimbra (INESCC) is a private non-profit institution, officially recognized as public utility, devoted to scientific research, technological development, and knowledge transfer to society. Its associates are the University of Coimbra, INESC Holding, and the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria.
INESCC is an interdisciplinary R&D unit with over 100 researchers, including 59 integrated researchers and 30 PhD students, from three departments of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of UC (Electrical Engineering and Computers, Civil Engineering, and Mathematics) and the Faculty Economics, as well as from the University of Beira Interior, Open University and the Polytechnic Institutes of Leiria, Coimbra, Setúbal, Bragança, Viana do Castelo and Viseu. Research combines theory, methodology, as well as technical and human factors to address industry and public needs aligning with UN SDGs societal challenges.
INESCC envisions itself as a leading interdisciplinary research institution committed to advancing scientific knowledge, technological development, and knowledge transfer to society. INESCC strives to impact businesses, industries, and public institutions by addressing complex real-world challenges through an engineering systems approach.
Our vision is to foster innovation by integrating diverse branches of engineering and management sciences, combining theoretical insights, technical expertise, and human factors to creatively solve problems and push the boundaries of scientific research. Through our flexible, project-oriented framework, we aim to produce high-impact research, empower the next generation of researchers, and deliver tangible contributions to society, industry, and academia.
We are committed to making lasting contributions to sustainable development and addressing global challenges in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), building partnerships that enhance the economic and societal impact of our work. Through our collaborative efforts, we aim to shape a future where science and technology drive positive change.
INESCC’s statutory mission is to perform scientific research, technological development, and knowledge integration and transfer, based on several disciplines of Engineering and Management Science / Operations Research, aiming at contributing to a better performance of businesses and institutions and to the progress of knowledge, within an engineering systems approach, by creatively combining theory and methodology, technical issues and human factors to tackle complex problems.
Aligned with its statutory mission, INESCC main objectives are to:
