O estudo de caracterização, análise e avaliação da qualidade das residências para estudantes do ensino superior pretende mapear e analisar as estruturas e as condições de alojamento em residência de estudantes do ensino superior. Propõe-se abranger o universo de residências sob gestão de Instituições de Ensino Superior de todo o território nacional (incluindo regiões autónomas), universitárias e politécnicas, públicas e privadas. Exclui-se da análise os equipamentos do setor empresarial e do terceiro setor. O desenho do estudo está fundamentado numa abordagem de triangulação metodológica quanti-qualitativa.

Prevê-se que os avanços tecnológicos, como a digitalização e automação, gerem alterações significativas no mundo do trabalho. Nas próximas décadas, 14% dos empregos existentes poderão desaparecer e cerca de 32% são suscetíveis de mudar radicalmente (OECD, 2019). Com a globalização, nem todos beneficiaram de melhores condições de trabalho, permanecendo na sombra das instituições tradicionais de representação coletiva, precários, sem perspetivas de carreira e com direitos de proteção social limitados.    Este projeto analisa, numa perspetiva comparativa internacional (europeia) e intranacional (Portugal), as relações entre desigualdades sociais e contextos de relação com o trabalho digno na era digital. Seguindo uma abordagem quanti-qualitativa (mix-methods) e utilizando uma conceptualização multidimensional das desigualdades sociais (Costa, 2012) pretende-se caracterizar os segmentos de “perdedores” e de “beneficiados” pelos movimentos da sociedade digital, discutindo em que medida as dinâmicas em curso, de reconfiguração das relações de trabalho, acentuam e perpetuam as desigualdades em Portugal e na Europa.

The research project aims to develop a national study on the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex peole and people with other non-cisgender and non-heterosexual identities (LGBTI+) and on discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics (OIEC).It includes three components: i) a review of national and international literature to understand the phenomenon of discrimination on the basis of SOGIESC; ii) an analysis of the situation of discrimination on the basis of SOGIESC and the needs of LGBTI+ people in Portuguese society today, based on interviews and focus groups with associations and structures representing and/or working with LGBTI+ people, as well as data provided by the services for LGBTI+ victims of domestic and gender-based violence; and iii) an analysis of the national legal framework on "hate crime" and "hate speech" in light of the recommendations of the Council of Europe, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The research project includes the formulation of the main conclusions and recommendations on the subjects covered, in order to support public policies directed at the LGBTI+ population.    

The Cávado + Igual”Project is part of CIMs promoter and as partners the 6 Associated Municipalities, CIES-IUL (scientific entity) and KUN (international partner). It intends to materialize the first systematized and strategic approach of CIM directed to issues of equality with regard to the Associated Municipalities.  This project intends to materialize the first systematized and strategic approach of the CIM directed to the issues of gender equality and reconciliation with personal, family and professional life.  This project integrates a set of activities based on a shared process, mobilizing the aggregator to improve the conciliatory and egalitarian practices, involving local agents, designing strategic bets and identifying success indicators to elevate the territory of Cávado as more EQUAL.  Given the importance of promoting Equality and Conciliation, the overall objective of the Project is to mobilize and inspire best practices in the development of the Project, involving local actors, designing strategic bets and identifying indicators of success to elevate the sense of the rights and to conquer the territory of Cávado like more EQUAL. To this end, a portfolio of structuring measures and actions, to be developed at the municipal and intermunicipal levels in the field of governance and personal, professional and institutional capacity building, is being tested.

How can we measure and monitor the effects of social inequalities in contemporary Portuguese society across regional, national and European scales? International agendas of human and sustainable development accept the premise that to achieve social progress, other dimensions beyond economic growth need to be accounted for. The deep inequalities in Portuguese society threaten the universality of fundamental rights and incite an urgent call for more data, based on technical and scientific knowledge, to understand the relations between inequalities and well-being as well as to frame place-based public policies and interventions. The project aims to develop a system of indicators to improve data availability, visualisation and analysis on the multidimensional relationships between living conditions and well-being in a comparative, intranational and international perspective. The model is based on the OECD framework and will be empirically supported by the European Social Survey as well as other national and international statistical sources. The key findings related to the development and analysis of this data will be considered in the second axis of the project, based on the prospective analysis, by using the Delphi method and place-based case studies. This second stage will involve the mobilization of agents (professionals, technicians and scientists) involved in the organization and implementation of public policies and recruited from the Portuguese Research Network on Public Policies (UMPP). The most valued dimensions in the definition of well-being in different social contexts will be mapped, defining 1) axes of problematic challenges in the relations between inequalities and well-being; 2) sustainable development strategies and place-based priorities from a comparative perspective at national and European levels; and (3) a quantifiable system of indicators and targets that allow the monitoring of the effects of policy action.
