About
The provision of services to companies, public entities and other institutions is one of IS-UP’s strategic objectives, to be closer to the surrounding communities under the principles of open science and knowledge transfer at the service of populations, their well-being and quality of life.
The Institute of Sociology provides services in an integrated manner with the Service Delivery Support Unit (UNAPS) of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto.
