The four research groups at INSIGHT tackle key areas of inquiry, including human development, health, education, and human movement. Each group focuses on exploring specific issues within these domains, employing multidisciplinary approaches and innovative technologies to advance progress and understanding in their respective fields of study.
The Health RG is a multidisciplinary team comprising professionals from various fields, including nursing, clinical and health psychology, and oriental medicine. Researchers are engaged in studies in psycho-oncology through projects approved by national and international entities (e.g., DistressBrain and Oncorelief), and on health literacy initiatives (e.g., Give a Stage to Health and DigiSaúde). Furthermore, the team is involved in several extension projects, such as promoting mental health among university students.
The Education on RG gathers researchers from Educational Sciences(mainly teachers and educational and school psychologists) with expertise in both current educational challenges and pedagogical innovation.
The Human Movement RG is dedicated to exploring the multilayered aspects of human movement, and to conducting innovative research as a tool for optimizing health, performance, motor skills acquisition, and physical functions throughout the lifespan.
The INSIGHT Technology and Management Group has expertise spanning areas such as Digital Transformation, Knowledge Representation & Reasoning, Data Interoperability, Organizational Psychology and Management.
