Within the scope of LNEC Research Plan for 2009-2012, ten overall projects were developed at DT. Some of these projects included master and doctoral thesis works, and also projects financed through the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), as well as the participation of LNEC in European projects in the area of Transports, namely under the 7th Framework Program of the EU.
For the forthcoming period 2013-2020, the research activity at DT will comply with the Research and Innovation Strategy (E2I) of LNEC, the corresponding projects being included in the LNEC Research Program for the same period. At the European level the main reference is the HORIZON 2020 Program.
Three encompassing themes were defined for the areas covered by DT in order to set the general objectives to be achieved through the research projects until 2020, and for each theme a number of research priority lines were chosen to guide the research, as follows: |
