Biennial report 2002-2003
Abstract. This report complements the triennial report 1999-2001, showing the activity of INESC
Coimbra during the subsequent years. An introductory section reports the main changes that occurred in INESC Coimbra during the biennium 2002-2003, and summarises the results obtained. These results are then detailed in sections listing concluded and ongoing projects, supervision of post-graduate students, publications, organisation of scientific meetings, and other activities.
Introduction
The first day of 2002 was an important milestone. Formerly a branch of INESC, INESC Coimbra became an autonomous institute, participated by the University of Coimbra (60%) and INESC (40%). As a consequence of becoming autonomous, INESC Coimbra underwent some changes. INESC Coimbra adopted a project-oriented management structure, without formal and separated research groups, with the objective of facilitating administration and fostering the collaboration among researchers. It restructured its administrative and accounting processes. It proactively sought to strengthen the ties with the institutions where its researchers develop their teaching activities, as well as the recently created Institute for Interdisciplinary Research of the University of Coimbra.
INESC Coimbra also developed its new image and improved its visibility. A new symbol and custom stationery were produced, as well as an institutional leaflet. The institute’s website (www.inescc.pt) was restructured in early 2002 and again in 2003. It now allows its researchers to add information to the website using a browser, and offers search facilities to the site’s visitors, which includes searching its library catalogue. Two collections of internal publications were started with their own ISSN: Research Reports of INESC Coimbra (to divulge preliminary versions of papers and ongoing scientific work) and Documents of INESC Coimbra (to divulge activity reports, project reports, software manuals and other documents). During 2002 and 2003, 26 issues of Research Reports and 3 issues of Documents were published.
Despite the financial difficulties caused by delays in the payment of the pluri-annual funding from the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, INESC Coimbra has been able to adjust to its autonomy status and pursue its activities. Indeed, of the four semesters of funding corresponding to 2002 and 2003, INESC Coimbra only received one semester in the beginning of 2002 and a second semester at the end of 2003. INESC Coimbra was able to keep functioning only thanks to a loan from its shareholder INESC, and still does not know when it will receive the missing two semesters of funding.
During the biennium 2002-2003, more precisely on April 2003, the until then co-ordinator of the unit António Martins ceased his functions, due to his assignment as vice-rector of the University of Coimbra, and Carlos Henggeler Antunes became the new co-ordinator. The Board of Directors’ members became Carlos Henggeler Antunes (President), Luís Dias, and Teresa Gomes.
Throughout the years 2002 and 2003 INESC Coimbra has continued to follow the orientation defined in its statutory mission: “To conduct activities of scientific research, technological development, integration and transfer of knowledge, based on disciplines of Engineering and Operations Research / Management Science, aiming at contributing toward the improvement of the performance of companies and institutions and to the progress of knowledge”.
This report details the activities of INESC Coimbra, namely: concluded and ongoing financed projects,1 supervision of post-graduate students, publications, organisation of scientific meetings, and other activities. During 2002 and 2003, including work in progress, the activity of INESC Coimbra is summarised in Table 1, showing a noteworthy number of theses supervisions and publications for a research unit of 13 PhDs.
