The Centre for Organisational and Social Studies of the Polytechnic Institute of Porto (CEOS.PP) was created in 2017 and accredited by FCT in the area of Management and Information Systems.

​

CEOS.PP is based at the Porto Higher Institute of Accounting and Administration (ISCAP), the second oldest educational institution at the Polytechnic Institute of Porto, and has around 200 researchers. Since November 2023, it has also had a Research Centre at the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, with more than 40 researchers: CEOS.PP.-Coimbra. More recently, in April 2024, CEOS.PP also created a Tech Hub at ISLA - Polytechnic Institute of Management and Technology.

​

The centre conducts competitive research with national and international financial support such as H2020 / Horizon Europe, FCT SAICT, Norte 2020, EEA & Norway Grants and ERASMUS+, among others. The research projects developed by CEOS.PP thus enable the transfer of scientific knowledge to a specific set of stakeholders, facilitating management, decision-making and digital transition. In addition to R&D projects, the centre develops and promotes digital solutions and skills, from research to specialised services, including advanced training, which contribute to the transformation of organisations.
