Strategic Plan 2020-2024
This strategic plan was designed for the 2020-2024 period.
We have designed the strategic plan by aligning its components. From the GUIDING PRINCIPLE, directing all that we do, to PILLARS – representing a catergorization the of things we do -, to what resources we are planning to use and develop to support these pillars.
In this systemic approach, PIPELINES come next, with goals representing the what we are aiming for. Goals are then operationalized via routines, projects and actions. Finally, VAULTS are the human and material resources we plan to develop to support, register and disseminate what we do.
We will first list all the elements of the Pillars – Pipelines – Vaults. Secondly, we will present the dynamics involving these elements. Finally, we will present a timeline of of the implementation of this strategic plan.
Guiding principle
The scientific method as the common language of teaching / learning and societal extension responsibilities
Pillars
Congregating and categorizing the things we do.
- Networking
- Publishing
- Research Projects
- Learning Science
- Dissemination (to other researchers, to students and the community)
- PhD, MSc and undergraduate studies
Pipelines
Value Goals
These are aspirational goals, not measurable.
- Create a research center with FCT’s evaluation of “Very good”, either as a standalone center or as a satellite center

- Create a cohesive research group
Routines
Repetitive processes supporting the value goals
- Writing grants
- Writing manuscripts
- Attending conferences

- Disseminating research
- Building capacity
Projects
