Thematic Agendas: final versions now available

The FCT has published the first two final editions, in digital format, of the Thematic Research and Innovation (R&I) Agendas, specifically the agendas for the themes "Circular Economy" and "Tourism, Leisure, and Hospitality."

The Thematic Agendas initiative aims to encourage broad debate on the new challenges and opportunities in different thematic areas, which will develop over the next decade.

The FCT has been responsible for creating the conditions for defining the contents of the Agendas. It has promoted the participation of the scientific, technological, and innovation communities, as well as public administration entities and civil society organizations, in an open process that integrates contributions from all those who wish to participate, either individually or institutionally.

In addition to identifying challenges for R&I in the medium and long term, the main aim is to identify research questions and opportunities for innovation in each thematic area. It is also hoped that the Thematic Agendas will serve as inspiring documents for new scientific developments in the medium and long term.

Versions of seven more Agendas are also available in the finalization or editing stage, and the final versions will be published shortly.
