For the Communication and Society Research Centre, 2018 was a very demanding year. On the one hand, the evaluation of the FCT had to be prepared. On the other hand, for four months, from January to April, a set of external constraints prevented the CECS from making any execution of funds. With around two hundred researchers (members, doctoral students and collaborators), the CECS activity has not failed to fulfill all its demands: intervention, research, publication and training.
