An innovation and performance leader in legal research, JusGov is a Subunit of the School of Law and a Research & Development Unit of the University of Minho.

JusGov is an interdisciplinary R&D Unit combining wide-ranging expertise to meet urgent global needs. By fostering a win-win pattern of interaction, our reach extends beyond academia to include our social surroundings, businesses, and public decision-making bodies. Consolidating our Unit’s standing as a global leader in justice and governance research, our results are actively disseminated via internationally recognised publishing outlets and our collective involvement in carefully selected research networks. Our doors are open to visiting researchers and our community invests in the future by nurturing the next generation of legal researchers.

RepositóriUM

The University of Minho has set up RepositóriUM, an institutional repository aimed at storing, preserving, disseminating, and providing online access to the scientific output of the whole UMinho community, to which our Unit belongs. Under our Unit’s or third-party publishing labels and across multiple linguistic spheres, paying particular attention to the Lusophone and Anglophone contexts, we are fully committed to open access publishing, so that our research is accessible to a wider audience and can feed subsequent research. The open availability of publicly funded research results brings significant social and economic benefits. All those who are interested should be able to access our Unit’s scholarly publications electronically at all times, with no embargo on the contents. Open access publications are also designed to facilitate discovery and further utilisation of their contents, be it through machines or human intelligence.
