In the research domain, projects and dissemination activities are being developed within the Centre for Studies in Architecture and Urbanism (CEAU) at FAUP, and/or in partnership with other R&D units, higher education institutions, public and private organizations, NGOs, the UNESCO Chairs network, among others.

The Chair aims to establish itself as a collaborative platform and a catalyst for cooperation networks at both national and international levels. It also seeks to continue existing collaborations and foster new partnerships with public and private entities such as the Directorate-General for Cultural Heritage, ICOMOS-Portugal, the Portuguese National Commission for UNESCO, the Municipality of Porto, among others. The Chair is open to the participation of students, researchers, managers, technicians, and other potential stakeholders.
