Lab2PT is a R&D unit of the University of Minho that integrates researchers from the School of Architecture, Art and Design and from the Institute of Social Sciences. Established at the end of 2013, Lab2PT began its first funding period supported by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) in 2015 and it is currently comprised by 66 PhD researchers, 25 collaborating researchers, and 73 doctoral students, conducting research in the Arts and Humanities domains, covering Architecture, Urbanism, History, Archaeology, Design, Visual Arts, Geography and Geology.
