The mission of universities cannot be limited to the graduation of students and the generation of new knowledge: they must also act as active partners in society. In order to attain this purpose it is imperative that our potential partners – businesses, municipalities, other agents – are fully aware of our offer not only in terms of services and technology transfer, but also regarding scientific dissemination, cooperation with the community and the promotion of culture. A structured portfolio representative of what we have to offer and who is, at the UA, the right interlocutor is, therefore, an important tool. Manuel António Assunção
Rector of the University of Aveiro

cooperation The University of Aveiro has privileged partnerships with companies and other national and international public and private institutions, cooperating with them in several projects and programmes in addition to providing a wide range of services. The University of Aveiro is nowadays a reference with regards to its cooperation with the community motivating social, cultural and economic development.
its know-how available to the community. The University has recently strengthened this relationship and established strong innovative cooperation bonds with several regional agents and, in particular, with the 11 municipalities forming the Intermunicipal Community of the Region of Aveiro (CIRA).
The University of Aveiro has been participating actively in the business community in the areas of research and innovation, developing products and solutions that support the advancement of science and technology in addition to boosting the economy. In this respect, the institution has already created structures aimed at promoting and supporting entrepreneurship and the process of mediating the transfer of technology and knowledge. An example of this are UATEC – Unidade de Transferência de Tecnologia (Technology Transfer Unit) and IEUA – Incubadora de Empresas da Universidade de Aveiro (Business Incubator of the University of Aveiro).
The creation of the Creative Science Park – Aveiro Region (CSP-AR) was one of the most recent ventures to boost regional development. The CSP-AR is run by the Sociedade Anónima PCI – Parque de Ciência e Inovação S.A., a company which is mostly held by non-profit organisations including the University of Aveiro, its largest shareholder. This structure is oriented towards the creation of knowledge and the promotion of its use through the certification of the people and the work done in partnership with several entities. At an early stage, 5 key areas of the UA will be taken into account: Energy, Information Technologies, Communication and Electronics (TICE), Agro-industrial, Materials and Sea.
One of the priorities of the institution is to promote the professional integration of its graduates also supported by the development of teaching programmes in business and entrepreneurial contexts. One of the projects that has always guided the University’s actions has been the development of a strong relationship with the region in which it operates by making
creative science park – aveiro region
This science and innovation park comprises the establishment of technology-based companies as well as the provision of a distinct set of innovation services. This is achieved via a formal and functional articulation with the structures of the University Campus, a feature that makes CSP-AR unique at a national level.

the campus campus exemplar total area 733,000 m2 (approximately) centrally located Close to the city centre and to the main road and rail routes
its campus is highlighted by the natural beauty of the saltpans and of the estuary buildings on campus 66 showcasing contemporary Portuguese architecture: 2 architects have won the Pritzker Architecture Prize wireless coverage on campus 100% rooms in residence halls 1020
The results arising from recent satisfaction surveys show that much of the UA’s attractiveness derives from its cultural environment, the dynamics of the university life, its infrastructures and the centrality of the city and the surrounding region. The university Campus, with 733,000m2 (approximately 90 football fields), is a miniature city with its green spaces and over 66 buildings purpose-built for teaching and research, but also distributed in a way that allows the community to live in and enjoy a multifunctional space. All of this is possible in two adjacent campuses, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Saltpans, overlooking the estuary and near the city centre. Displaying building projects signed by the best national architects, the Santiago Campus and the Crasto Campus are landmarks in the region and a showcase of contemporary Portuguese architecture. The campuses of Águeda and Oliveira de Azeméis, where UA’s schools are located, are also being developed with a great sense of aesthetics and functionality. The University of Aveiro is fully aware of the existing concerns regarding sustainability and environmental protection and has been coordinating and developing a set of measures to boost sustainability on campus. These measures are addressed within a strategic project designated as “Campus Exemplar”. This project includes
the improvement of the energy efficiency rating and of the certification of the existing buildings, the implementation of systems for the production of renewable energy sources in addition to measures pertaining to eco-efficiency, waste management, the promotion and study of biodiversity on campus and the encouragement of sustainable mobility and accessible tourism, among other initiatives. The possibility to host events as well as socio-cultural and scientific initiatives is given not only to the academic community but also to other entities. Some of the services and functionalities that are made available by the UA are: booking auditoriums, conference rooms, exhibition halls and videoconference studios; the provision of audiovisual support services (audio and video recording and production) and videoconference services and support given to webcast or to printing services. Units that support these services and infrastructures: ·· Communication, Image and Public Relations Services ·· Information Technologies and Communication Services

audits, environmental impact and control institute The IDAD – Institute of Environment and Development is a non-profit scientific and technical association of public utility founded in 1993. IDAD has an extensive experience and provides integrated support to environmental needs that companies have in different areas. Some of the services provided by IDAD are: strategic and planning studies, environmental monitoring and impact, auditing and environmental control, and indoor environmental quality.
IDAD has broad expertise in the coordination of multi-sectorial projects ranging from air quality to water resources, flora and fauna, landscape, social psychology or public health working with teams of diverse specialists who provide different types of intervention: ·· Strategic environmental assessment ·· Environmental impact assessment ·· Development of environmental monitoring programmes ·· Atmospheric pollutants dispersion modelling The use of the IDAD laboratory, accredited by IPAC L0313, allows for the inclusion, whenever possible, of the field work and analytical components.
67
services strategic and planning studies
It represents the most comprehensive approach to environment and development. The acknowledged expertise of the IDAD has led to its participation in some of the most important decision-making processes that have recently occurred in Portugal: ·· Evaluation of possible locations for the new Lisbon airport ·· Strategic environmental assessment of the high speed rail network ·· Strategic environmental assessment of the programme “Portugal Logístico” ·· Strategic environmental assessment of Municipal Master Plans
The preparation of these studies frequently requires the use of numeric simulation tools: Studies concerning the dispersion of atmospheric pollutants both locally (ISC, AERMOD) and regionally as well as acoustic maps. In the follow-up phase it is necessary to regularly measure and monitor the real effects of the projects on the environment through the implementation of environmental monitoring programmes. The use of IDAD’s laboratory allows for the inclusion, whenever possible, of the field work and sampling components.
environmental monitoring and impact
characterisation of gaseous emissions
Impact Assessment is the characterisation of the environmental effects of a certain unit, i.e. the evaluation of all aspects pertaining to its impact on the environment. Throughout the years, IDAD has participated in the development and monitoring of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process of several types of projects: Industrial units, business and logistics parks, tourist developments, waste treatment units, and thermal power plants.

The Integrated Unit of Continuing Education, UINFOC, founded in 2010, is a centre that aims to carry out the scientific, educational and administrative coordination, and to support lifelong training and research activities for traditional and non-traditional audiences in UA. The UINFOC is the interface unit of the University of Aveiro with its Departments and Schools, and of these with municipalities, businesses and society in general in the field of academic training. Its mission is to foster the relationships and cooperation between these infrastructures, in collaboration with the various stakeholders. The goal is to develop, propose, organise and manage the development of training courses for traditional and non-traditional audiences, which may or may not lead to an academic degree. Therefore, it contributes to the training of working adults via the promotion of Ongoing, Permanent and Lifelong Learning. The UINFOC also promotes the development of support services and structures directed towards the monitoring of these audiences, taking into account their specific characteristics. It begins with their arrival at the University, continues along their path as students and acts as a connector in their lives after university. With this process, UINFOC allows for the possibility of more than one admission into University. UINFOC also acts as a support/information and meeting/socialising centre for these audiences in the district of Aveiro. It favours continuous and flexible training initiatives and enables collaboration between the University and the Community in which it operates.
