Created at the University of Aveiro, GOVCOPP's mission is to conduct high-level research and produce knowledge based on policy, competitiveness, and governance.
The mission of the research unit on Governance, Competitiveness, and Public Policies (GOVCOPP) is to research ways to improve economic efficiency, and to inform social policy and governance practices in specific geographical contexts; We research at the European, national, and regional levels, while having a particular focus on the regions of Portugal Centro and Aveiro.
To achieve this objective, GOVCOPP brings together researchers with different backgrounds and scientific expertise, therefore benefiting from a diversity of approaches and methodologies.
Competitiveness, Innovation and Sustainability – CIS:
The Competitiveness, Innovation and Sustainability research group analyses the factors underlying the economic efficiency of production systems, subject to constraints related to a sustainable use of resources and conservation of the environment, including problems and needs of firms and regions.
Systems for Decision Support – SDS:
The Systems for Decision Support research group aims to develop expertise in the design and deployment of methods and techniques coming from statistics and operational research to support complex decision making processes, namely in the areas related to the research group's activities, such as supply chain reengineering, regional science, urban economics, and financial economics.
The research group on Public Policies, Institutions and Innovation (PI2) mobilizes knowledge in political, social and administration sciences, demography, sociology, spatial planning and public administration, so as to fulfil GOVCOPP’s objective of studying public policies and governance practices, focused on new forms of organising and managing public services – known in European Union jargon as services of general interest (SGI).
