ROSSIO will provide a platform with digital content related to Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, with open access to all resources. It will ensure the organization, interrelation, contextualization and sharing of digital objects dispersed by various academic and non-academic, public and private institutions.
It aims to foster the development of high-quality research on Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities SSAH, stimulating new agendas and debates, while generating synergies and articulating people and institutions, stimulating scientific innovation and disseminating cultural heritage.
It also contributes to the internationalization of studies on SSAH, with researchers from all over the world, especially from PALOPS and CPLP, providing easy and transparent access to content in Portuguese, since part of their memory is preserved in Portugal.
The platform intends to be decisive in the training of millions of Portuguese speakers, from these countries and from communities around the world, as a unique way of accessing numerous data and knowledge about their culture.
The availability of this content will contribute to a society more informed about its cultural heritage and the preservation of its memory. Academic knowledge will be made accessible to a broader audience through exhibitions and virtual collections, contributing to better decision-making processes. Another objective of ROSSIO is to build a sustainable network of SSAH content providers, creating new connections between academic and non-academic institutions, as well as disseminating skills and tools among users of the platform.
