What is "tercud"

TERCUD - Territory, Culture and Development Research Centre is a R&D Unit at ULHT – Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, Lisbon. It incorporates the restructured UEICSA – Applied Social Science Research Unit, registered as R&D Unit Nº 462 at the FCT - Science and Technology Foundation, Ministry of Science and Higher Education. As a follow-up to the FCT’s evaluation of R&D Units in 2003, the transformation of UEICSA into TERCUD was made possible by fusing several UEICSA’s constitutive elements: CESMU – Sociomuseology Research Centre (founded in 1993), CESU – Sociourbanism Research Centre (founded in 1996), CELC – Linguistics and Culture Research Centre (founded in 2001) and CEGED - Geography and Development Research Centre (founded in 2002). This restructuring facilitated a more focused scientific mission and explicitly promoted synergy with education, that is, with the B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. Programs in the Faculty of Architecture, Urbanism, Geography and Arts.
