  • PPT | Evaluation of the Programme "Português Para Todos"

    Research Group Governance, Economy and Citizenry Website: Presentation: Project goals: Setting up of a technical evaluation plan for the Português Para Todos (PPT – Portuguese for All) Programme, its goals and execution monitoring, in order to produce a characterization and comprehensive interpretation system of PPT. Along with this analysis, the complexity of this venture dictates the systematization of possible findings based on existing monitoring systems, the creation of supplementary data collection instruments that widen available interpretation mechanisms. Methodology: PPT Programme evaluation will be performed based on a comprehensive multi-method project specifically designed to gather relevant information to the analysis of different levels that determine the Programme’s course: • Monitoring system/ database analysis • Interviews • Survey • Case studies • Focus group sessions • SWOT analysis.

  • TESS | Transition to an environmentally sustainable energy system – The role of technology-intensive

    Research Group Innovation and Labour Website: https://sites.google.com/site/tessfct/about-tess Presentation: This project addresses the role of emerging energy technologies in the transition to an environmentally sustainable paradigm. It focuses on the functions played by new technology-intensive firms (NTIFs) - academic or corporate spin-offs - in the process of developing research-based renewable energy technologies, and introducing them into the market, as well as on their interactions with other key actors.Methodology:Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, we will address the commercialization process of new technologies, with a view to understanding:1) the role of firms originating from academic institutions or from established companies in the market introduction of renewable energy technologies;2) the type of alliances and networks they establish and the nature and behaviour of other actors they engage with (research organizations; large energy established firms, etc.);3) the impact of policies, through incentives or through the creation of a legal framework and technical infrastructures and norms;4) the impact of institutional changes, both policy induced and deriving from social behaviour changes. Our final objective is thus to uncover the roles that emerge as a result of the strategies identified their relative prevalence and the specific configurations they assume in the energy area. The impact of particular institutional contexts will be assessed through international comparisons (with Netherlands and UK). This will enable us to typify the roles played by NTIFs in the transition to a sustainable energy regime. The results of this project will contribute to on-going research on how to achieve a regime shift, as well as to an understanding of how these processes are taking place in the Portuguese energy system, providing insights to policy formulation and supporting collective action by environmentally active social groups.

  • Voluntariado SCML – Estudo sobre os Impactos do Voluntariado da SCML

    Research Group Governance, Economy and Citizenry Website: n.a. Presentation: Project goals were to analyze: 1) the regulatory framework of Volunteerism in SCML (assumptions, principles, objectives, expectations; 2) the degree of implementation of the principles and objectives underlying the implementation of the Voluntary Service in SCML (strengths and weaknesses, difficulties and obstacles, articulation with other internal services, 'good practices', innovation factors; 3.) the organizational and procedural models adopted (factors of effectiveness and efficiency, degree of satisfaction; 4) the results and actual Impacts of the Volunteer Service in the different areas of SCML intervention (results, degrees of satisfaction, confrontation with initial expectations; 5) to produce Strategic Recommendations. Methodology was based on a quantitative approach, which will make it possible to characterize motivations, satisfaction levels, constraints, expectations, perception of results and impacts, etc., of the various stakeholders within the scope of the project (Beneficiaries, Volunteers and the Services of SCML itself). Also, there was an approach of a qualitative nature, by means of which the knowledge relating to each of the dimensions of analysis is comprehensively explored. In this case, in addition to the framework of the Beneficiaries, Volunteers and Services of the SCML, a phase is also proposed to collect information with the beneficiaries' families.

  • BARÓMETRO II | Barómetro das pessoas em situação vulnerável – Fase II

    Research Group Governance, Economy and Citizenry Website: n.a. Presentation: A team has been conducting, since 2011, a longitudinal study, with a qualitative approach – Barometer of People in a Vulnerable Situation – within the framework of the Fight Against Poverty in the City of Lisbon Observatory, promoted by EAPNPortugal. With three sets of interviews it was possible to follow up on the same group of people in a vulnerable situation through time, meeting the research goals, specifically: detecting vulnerability processes concerning different poverty profiles and their repercussions in the life path; analysing individual resources and activation provisions aimed to building economic and living autonomy; and evaluating the impact of socioeconomic, political and institutional dimensions underlying resource production and the opportunities granted to subjects. Interviewee selection criteria were based on two axes: vulnerability profiles that other studies had shown to predominate in the city of Lisbon with a view of grasping the diversity of situations and evaluating the impact of social policies in terms of vulnerability situations characteristics; and the territorial axis, where two areas in Lisbon were identified due to the higher socioeconomic indexes and differing in terms of youth/aging index and type of housing. Given these three axes, a profile distribution was obtained as follows: poor, unemployed workers; female informal caregivers; elders in a vulnerable condition, unable to work due to illness and unaffiliated.

However, given the need to deepen knowledge about the ongoing changes that could form the basis of a restructuring of the logic of the contemporary metropolis, priority will be the analysis of the younger generations: those born between 1965-1985 and whose entry in adulthood and residential autonomy will likely already occurred after the EU accession, the emergence period of the main indicators of modernity.

  • PROTECT | Protecting privacy and personal data in a post-Charter Europe

    Research Group Governance, Economy and Citizenry Website: Presentation: In recent times the world witnessed dramatic changes in the ways personal data are accessed, processed and used. Personal data are a key asset of the information economy. The amount and variety of personal information in administrations’ databases and systems also escalated. At the same time, the general public became increasingly aware of the related risks for both individuals and society. Normative issues thereby arose about how to define the correct balance between the interests and values at stake, a tension first addressed by the Data Protection Directive - DPD (1995). Later on, a number of measures as part of the EU Space for Freedom, Security and Justice raised mounting concerns about their bearing on privacy and individual freedoms, namely: new information systems for control of individuals’ movements within the EU and across its borders, identity cards containing biometrical data, and the Data Retention Directive. The need to reassess the DPD was therefore acknowledged. This call emerged whilst the Charter of Fundamental Rights entered into force (2010). A challenging theoretical target for this project thus was to critically analyse the principles, rights and guarantees contained in the EU data protection law and under the Space of Freedom, Security and Justice and to proceed to an evaluation of the underlying balancing of values and rights in the light of the Charter. A complementary goal was to deepen our understanding of the related social values. Designing and applying a questionnaire survey to a quota sample of Portuguese respondents pursued this goal.
