A member of the research center SOCIUS since the beginning of the century, after its merge in the CSG, I integrated the Research Line on Globalization and Development. My fundamental research orientation focused mainly on international trade and foreign direct investment with regard to analysis, strategies and policies, including economic diplomacy; the processes of internationalization of companies and their long-term implications; entrepreneurship and innovation, theories and policies; economic integration, globalization, emerging economies, and international organizations. In applied research terms, in addition to the research work carried out on the internationalization of the Portuguese economy and companies, the studies on the Portuguese-Brazilian economic relations must be particularly highlighted, in the first case, with an emphasis on the economic impact of the common language in an international perspective, and in the second case, addressing themes such as sustainable development, innovation, external relations, the role of commodities, tourism, regional asymmetries, among others.

I participated in many dozens of academic juries, in Portuguese and foreign universities and institutions, both for the evaluation of scientific works and for the purpose of entry and promotion in the academic career. I was invited professor or researcher at several internationally prestigious institutions, including Hitotsubashi University, University of São Paulo, Kiel Institute of World Economy, Texas A&M University, University of Orléans and Federal University of Minas Gerais, and taught around twenty advanced courses at universities in several countries (France, Brazil, Tunisia, Angola and Mozambique).
