Research
The research activities of members of the UXAFORES group is developed through the supervision of and participation in research projects supported by European, national and international funding, in collaboration with researchers from other national and international universities and research centres.
The research is very closely related to the teaching activities of the group members and involves participation in postgraduate courses and supervision of doctoral research.
The research results obtained lead to scientific publications (papers, books) and participation in scientific meetings.
