Thematic agendas: final versions now available

FCT has published the first two final editions, in digital format, of the Thematic Agendas for Research and Innovation (R&I), 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 stakes in different thematic areas, the development of which will take shape 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 community, as well as public administration entities and civil society organizations, in an open process that includes contributions from all those who wish to take part, either individually or institutionally.

In addition to identifying challenges for R&I, from a medium and long-term perspective, the aim is essentially to identify research issues and opportunities for innovation in each thematic area. The Thematic Agendas are also intended to be inspirational documents for new scientific developments in the medium and long term.

Seven more Agendas are already being finalized or edited and the final versions will be edited shortly.
