UNIDCOM/IADE is an open design-led research center at IADE – Universidade Europeia, one of the top design schools in Portugal. We conduct interdisciplinary design research crossing diverse fields of knowledge, such as Technology; Arts; Marketing & Communication. Our team of researchers, which is characterized by a great diversity of backgrounds and interests, work together with stakeholders across multiple sectors and industries, openly and collaboratively, to address current and future challenges, at local, regional, national and international scales, contributing to human's dignity and flourishment.

We offer research opportunities to Undergraduate, Master and PhD students, as well as to post-doctorate candidates and researchers looking for internships.
