Serious Thinking

“Sharing stories (…) and debating new ideas daily, whether during lunch time or during the five minutes of the coffee break, leads to the establishment of connections between us and to social and professional growth.” Cláudia Rocha (CRIIS)

We know that people from science and technology always have some kind of genius in them. If you are thinking about Einstein, we are thinking about José Carlos Sousa of the Management Information Systems Service of INESC TEC.

sofia sá, social media manager, european commission - executive agency for small and medium-sized enterprises (EASME)

  • Year when you began working at INESC TEC and when you left: 2015-2016

Explain your experience since leaving INESC TEC

After leaving INESC TEC, I began my journey in Brussels as a trainee in the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME) of the European Commission. It was a memorable experience. For five months, I had the opportunity of being close to European leaders, of being in the decision-making centre of Europe, and of working in a team of 15 colleagues from 11 different countries, from whom I learned a lot.

In March of 2017, I joined a big project – the biggest renewable energy event in Europe, European Sustainable Energy Week 2017, which took place in Brussels during July of the same year. A team of five colleagues from the European Commission and two communication agencies made this event happen! To be involved in the preparation of this event was enormously gratifying. During three days, the conference received more than 2000 participants and nearly 400 guest speakers, and held 63 sessions.
After the event, I took on a new professional opportunity: social media manager of the LIFE funding programme of the European Commission, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
This programme, which is partially managed by EASME and the Directorate-General for Environment of the EC, funds nature conservation projects (such as those related with endangered species), green technologies and climate change projects. The LIFE Programme has already funded thousands of projects all over Europe and invested approximately €3 billion. Working in a project of this size is an enormous honour.

Communicating the projects of the LIFE Programme is a constant challenge, not only because of the diversity of themes, but also because of the geographical distribution.

  • Year when you began working at INESC TEC and when you left: 2015-2016
  • Centre at INESC TEC where you worked: CESE - Centre for Enterprise Systems Engineering 

Explain your experience since leaving INESC TEC

I was at INESC TEC for a year completing an international PhD internship (part of the CAPES internship programme) and I had the opportunity to collect data at UPTEC. Back in Brazil, I finished collecting data in different regions of the country and I got to know other innovation settings, such as Tecnopuc (Porto Alegre), Itaipu (Foz do Iguaçú), Inovaparque (Joinville) and INPA (Manaus). I presented my PhD in June of this year, meaning that ever since I got back, I have been busy collecting and analysing data and concluding my thesis. Currently, I am a professor of the Bibliotheconomy degree at UNOCHAPECÓ, a traditional university located in west Santa Catarina. I am responsible for graduate and postgraduate education, whose focus is technological innovation, agility, service quality and transforming people as a privileged means of promoting development. At the same time, I am a researcher at the Core Management for Sustainability (NGS) research group of the University of Santa Catarina.
