Functional Performance
The Functional Performance (FP) group was created in 2017, and has steadily grown in the successive years. FP is coordinated by Luís Godinho, from the University of Coimbra, and incorporates researchers from both the University of Coimbra and the University of Minho.
Overview
Group FP - Functional Performance
Re-use of structural masonry and timber aims at developing integral building solutions (all functional requirements) and modular solutions. Infrastructure management has a strong focus on assessment of bridges and transportation networks, including risk management and extreme events. Geotechnics has a focus on ground parameters and performance predictions, namely for rock masses, slope management and railways engineering.

🌟 Inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers!
ISISE was proud to participate in the Fórum Nacional de Clubes Ciência Viva na Escola, at the Alfândega Congress Centre in Porto, April 4-5. ISISE had the opportunity to engage directly with curious young minds and passionate educators.
Through hands-on activities and discussions, we had the opportunity to share our research, promote scientific curiosity, and highlight the role of engineering in building a sustainable future.
A big thank you to Ciência Viva for organizing this incredible initiative. It's always a pleasure to help spark the scientific spirit in future researchers and innovators!
