A BRIEF SWOT ANALYSIS
POLITECHNICAL INSTITUTIONS – PI´s
UNIVERSITARY INSTITUTIONS – UI´s
STRENGTHS: A BRIEF SWOT ANALYSIS
• THE PARTNERSHIP AGREED WITH REGIONAL FIRMS AND END-USERS
• THE INTERNATIONAL R&D PARTNERSHIP ALREADY AGREED
• THE STRONG REGIONAL CONSORTIA ON AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES R&D
• THE MULTIDISCIPLINARITY OF THE TEAM & APROACHES
• THE UNIQUENESS OF THE R&D UNIT IN AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES IN THE CENTRE REGION OF PORTUGAL
WEAKNESSES: A BRIEF SWOT ANALYSIS
• THE DESCRIMINANT LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT FOR R&D IN PI´s
• THE TEACHING CHARGES FACED BY RESEARCHERS IN THE PI´s
• THE LACK OF RESEARCH TRADITION & EXIGENCE IN THE PI´s
• THE LACK OF SPECIFIC INSTITUTIONAL FINANTIAL SUPPORT FOR R&D ACTIVITIES IN THE PI´s
OPPORTUNITIES: A BRIEF SWOT ANALYSIS
• THE NEW LAW 62/2007, RULING UI´s AND PI’s, GIVING SUPPORT TO R&D UNITS AUTHONOMY;
• THE NEW FP7, SUPPORTING AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES AND ENVIRONMENT R&D ACTIVITIES
• THE RECENT QREN, FAVOURING REGIONAL PARTNERSHIPS
• THE STRONG AND WELL DEFINED STRATEGY FOR THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGION BASED ON THE INTEGRATION OF THE NEEDS OF PARTNERS AND CERNA´S EXPERTISES
• THE YOUTH AND WILL OF THE TEAM
THREATS: A BRIEF SWOT ANALYSIS
• THE NEW LAW 62/2007, RULING UI´s AND PI’s, NOT ALLOWING THE PI´S TO AWARD PhD DEGREES, AND THEN THE RECRUITMENT OF DOCTORANDS;
• THE FAILURES OF THE FINANCING INSTRUMENTS OF R&D ACTIVITIES;
• PI´s HAVE LESS INFLUENCE THAN UI´s IN DECISION MAKING

FRAME OF REFERENCE…”Research is strong in ESAC, given its close association with CERNAS, which covers forestry economics and management, food technology, environment, chemistry and rural development in a broad multidisciplinary perspective. CERNAS is rated ‘good’ by the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia [FCT], anticipates making a bid to the EU’s seventh Framework Research Programme [FP7] and is seeking to capitalise on the regional structures being built by government to deliver European Regional Development Fund [ERDF] funding. Significantly, the existence of CERNAS was felt to be an important factor in the government’s approval of the ESAC Bologna Master applications”. (p. 9)
CONCLUSIONS…”prioritising areas in which IPC aims to become a field-leader, as is the case with CERNAS, and elaborating a focused research policy.” (p. 19)
3. Are interested parties
(in policy, industry and society)
being consulted before setting out research programmes?
