About Us

The Strategic Observation Panel on Information and Knowledge Society in Portugal (POESIC) is a project of the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), started in 2015, which seeks to systematize and disseminate information resultant from the observation, measurement and analysis of the Information and Knowledge Society.

By mobilizing various sources of information, and with the support of different producers of statistical data, POESIC intends to create instruments for the wide dissemination (for all) of the existing information, seeking, also, in a more specific context, to build tools to support the design and assessment of public policies. POESIC aims, also, to provide resources to support the participation of FCT and other Government agencies in international contexts of reflection and decision about the Information and Knowledge Society.

This website is one of the main deliveries from the POESIC project and intends to be an information aggregator allowing a comprehensive vision of the portuguese performance in the diferent dimensions established as relevant to understand the Information and Knowledge Society.

The production (and updating ) of the website results from a partnership between the Fundação Para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) and the University of Minho / Gávea / CCG.
