NIPE currently has 37 effective members and was ranked among the best Portuguese research centres in the field of Economics and Management, in the last evaluation performed by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology.
NIPE is an internationally oriented research center. A large number of NIPE's members are involved in international research collaborations. The seminar series involves researchers from many foreign universities. Every year, NIPE organizes a very successful Summer School, that attracts researchers from all over the world.
NIPE also aims to contribute, through the provision of consulting services, to the adoption of economic policies based on rigorous scientific analysis of the Portuguese economy.
