- Constructing (auto)mobility system in a peripheral European country in the 1930s: visions and realities of the authoritarian PortugalPublication . Sousa, M. Luísa; DCSA - Departamento de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas; CIUHCT - Centro Interuniversitário de História das Ciências e da TecnologiaThe 1930s watched two simultaneous and apparently opposed trends: the rising of authoritarian regimes in several European countries and an intensive cooperation between international governmental and non-governmental organizations in settling common standards and policies. Reflecting automobile’s main use in the first decades of the twentieth century, leisure (and not transport in a strictly utilitarian sense), even in developed/central countries, one cannot ignore the roles of non-governmental organisations related to tourism (AIT – Alliance International du Tourisme) or to automobile sports (AIACR – Association Internationale des Automobiles-Clubs Reconnus) in establishing standards for elements of the ‘automobile system’ in issues such as road signs and international circulation (the issuing of documents such as the ‘carnet de passage en douane’). There were also other important transnational organizations, governmental and non-governmental, which contributed to the construction of this system, such as a more technical organization on roads (AIPCR, Association Internationale Permanente des Congrès de la Route) (Schipper, 2008). The 1930s in Portugal was a period of institutionalization of the dictatorship that would last more than 40 years, particularly with the issuing of its corporatist legal basis. The Automobile Club of Portugal (ACP), which had had, at least since 1911, an important role in Portuguese automobile system construction, reclaimed keeping the main role, namely as being the Portuguese member at AIT and therefore the organization that issued the documents for international circulation. There were rivalries between Automobile and Touring Clubs in Europe on this matter, which also happened in Portugal. It is at the level of the mediators (Oldenziel et al., 2005) that the analysis will be made. The visions of the construction of the automobile system were produced both by organizations that preceded the dictatorship and those that were created after the 1926 coup d’État that began it, such as corporatist organizations (for instance of commercial companies that sold automobiles) and of State agencies related to roads or fuel. These visions of how automobility, tourism and road construction should evolve were discussed in several national congresses such as the first and second National Congresses of Automobility and Civil Aviation (1935 and 1937), the first National Congress of Tourism (1936) and the first National Congress of Transports (1939). One finds also ‘imported’ visions on automobility from other European countries, such as Germany, in the specialized press, namely the ACP journal. The reality of automobile use, tourism and road construction was somehow different as the statistics of the modal split or the special statistics made on the religious pilgrimage to Fatima show.

- Results on fieldwork about digital labour in Portugal: outcomes of the project Deep ViewPublication . Boavida, Nuno; Moniz, António Brandão; Centro Interdisciplinar de Ciências Sociais (CICS.NOVA - NOVA FCSH); DCSA - Departamento de Ciências Sociais AplicadasThis report contains a summary of the fieldwork from Portugal. The work consisted in 6 preliminary interviews to experts and virtual workers and 19 semi-structured interviews of up to 60 minutes with social partners. These interviews were conducted in the period of June 2018 to June 2019. The report is structured around three main headings that reflect the different fieldwork activities: peak-level social partners interviews, sectoral social partners interviews and mini-case studies. The latter two were subdivided into the tree sectors under analysis: ICT, financial and healthcare.
- The role and use of welfare technology in elderly carePublication . Gil, Ana Paula; Moniz, António Brandão; José, José Manuel Sousa de São; Krings, Bettina; Bäckström, Bárbara; Departamento de Sociologia (DS); Centro Interdisciplinar de Ciências Sociais (CICS.NOVA - NOVA FCSH); DCSA - Departamento de Ciências Sociais AplicadasThe paper presents facts and figures about Portuguese demography and its relation to the national institutional organisation of long-term care system. Hereby, the focus lies on “Digital Competence among long-term care system” where are presented elements of the current status of the use of technology and social innovations in elderly care institutions, specific policy initiatives and some “best practices” on the use of different technologies and innovations in Portugal. Second, the following chapters provides the “Implications for elderly, staff and working places” with regard to information technologies (IT) applied in the care work, or as mentioned in this report, to “welfare technologies”. There it is analysed the digital effects on organisation of work in long-term care system, the education problems and further training of care staff. The final chapters are about the challenges and risks of the use of technology in care work (covering the topics of integrity, ethical and economical challenges and risks), the societal debates, regulations and best practices, and, finally, the future perspectives and reflections.
- Na próxima década as empresas portuguesas podem quadruplicar o seu investimento em investigação e desenvolvimento (I&D): Ficção ou realidade?Publication . Madeira, Paulo Alexandre Reis; Centro Interdisciplinar de Ciências Sociais (CICS.NOVA - NOVA FCSH); DCSA - Departamento de Ciências Sociais AplicadasThe R&D capability of companies is a key factor in their competitiveness and long-term growth. Trends in the R&D expenditure indicator provide key indications of the future competitiveness and wealth of the European Union. Regardless of, Portuguese companies have been among the least spent on research and development in Europe. It cannot be said that in the last decades there has existed in Portugal a real integrated policy of science, technology and innovation. There is also a shortfall in the nature of the instruments and support measures in this area, which is in some way associated not only with the governance process but also with the specific forms of operationalization of the instruments. The structure of R&D funding continues to highlight chronic problems diagnosed for many years, notably in the form of transfer of knowledge generated by the scientific and technological system to the real economy, but now begins to know innovative processes, less bureaucratic and more open to change, towards a sustained increase in business R&D investment. Investing 3% of GDP in R&D by 2030 was one of the Portuguese government's objectives for the development of a knowledge-based economy and innovation. Is it possible to quadruple in 10 years the investment that companies have made in several decades?
