Goals and Objectives
The formulation of the Lisbon RIS3 aims to balance the proximity between the existing business fabric and concrete agendas of the economy based on knowledge, digitization, and decarbonization.
It is a priority to promote the hiring of highly qualified resources (HQHR), in activities aligned with the R&D and innovation strategy, aimed at adapting companies to change, in a logic of growth and internationalization, increasing the proportion of highly qualified personnel in the job market (and in companies), but also addressing challenges related to climate and digital transitions.
By promoting skilled employment (higher education level or above), the interaction between companies and scientific and technological infrastructures will be strengthened, maintaining the objective of incentivizing hiring in a logic of sustainable and quality employment creation, while also promoting the professional insertion and economic valorization in the non-academic environment of human resources supported in their advanced training.
