Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT) is a private, not-for-profit organization, of public interest, a partnership of nine institutions with research and development in the field of Telecommunications.
IT is actively involved in fundamental and applied research both at national and international levels. IT also plays its role towards public society with public awareness initiatives, knowledge transfer to industry, and by providing consulting services on a non-competing basis.
IT is organized around three sites, 4 branches and one external laboratory
Aveiro, in the University Campus

Lisbon, at ISCTE-Instituto Universitário de Lisboa
Lisbon, at Nova School of Science and Technology
Some IT researchers are located also at other Portuguese higher education institutions, namely at the universities of Algarve and Évora, and the polytechnics of Lisbon, Setúbal and Tomar.
Scientific expertise in IT, from which follow its main research and education activities, spans the Thematic Lines:
Wireless Technologies
Optics and Phtonics
Information and Data Science
Networks and Services
Basic Sciences and Enabling Technologies
IT members (about 200 PhD holding integrated researchers) are organized into research clusters and groups, which cover most of the R&D areas in Telecommunications and supporting sciences and technologies. IT hosts annually about 250 PhD students and about 200 MSc students.
Advanced laboratory facilities are available in most Thematic Lines of IT to support applied research, which is carried out in the framework of national and international projects in cooperation with similar research institutions worldwide. Each year IT is involved in more than 170 projects, of which about 30-40 have European funding, obtained in a competitive basis.
IT actively promotes a high level of scientific research trough a "Quality Policy", issued in 2011, which includes an annual evaluation of its members' scientific production, and a reward/sanction system. Yearly, IT scientific output nears 30 books and book chapters, 450+ papers in international scientific peer refereed journals (of which 95% in Q1+Q2 journal), 450+ papers in conference proceedings and 5+ filed patents.
