On 29 January 2026, the INESC Hub Winter Meeting 2026 took place at the Coimbra, gathering colleagues across INESC institutes and international organisations for participatory workshops focused on FP10 Policy Windows and Opportunity Identification.
Structured as strategic “sensing–seizing” sessions, the day helped align INESC capabilities with the evolving EU R&I landscape and translate that alignment into practical next steps. Participants:
mapped INESC strengths against emerging FP10 policy windows,
identified concrete opportunities and priority collaboration areas,
initiated action roadmaps for value capture (2026–27),
and exchanged best practices while strengthening cross-INESC networking.
Discussions were organised around four thematic Policy Windows, moderated by international leaders:
Clean Transition & Industrial Decarbonisation — Maurits Butter (TNO Strategy & Policy)
Digital Leadership — Sophie Viscido (EuroTech Universities Alliance)
Resilience, Security, Defence & Space — Ana Paula Mesquita (Magellan-Circle)
Health, Biotech, Agriculture & Bioeconomy — Ricardo Miguéis (INESC Brussels Hub)
