DPQ analyzes DEI indicators within the scope of OMNES – Observatory for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This observatory aims to contribute to the promotion and enhancement of diversity at Técnico, ensuring regular monitoring, analysis, and dissemination of information that allows for the identification of challenges in promoting equal opportunities and the full integration of all people in its community. It thus seeks to contribute to a Técnico with more diversity, more equity, and more inclusion.
