Gerador

Generator Research

The active production of knowledge is one of the essential pillars of Academia Gerador, which believes that constant questioning, in-depth research work and the search for data and evidence are essential elements for a more conscious citizenship. Since 2019, Gerador carries out, together with the consultancy Qmetrics, the annual Culture Barometer study, in which we analyze the Portuguese people's perception of culture in Portugal.

In line with this commitment, we have also been carrying out other studies that cover areas beyond culture and which will be published according to the most appropriate way of presenting all relevant information. This flexibility also corresponds to a strong desire to combine different voices and multiple forms and sources of information, in favour of open and comprehensive knowledge.

Culture Barometer 2023

The 2023 edition is the most innovative, original and consequential, with information on the cultural habits of people living in Portugal, with an assessment of the importance of mental or physical well-being, the differentiation between proactive and reactive consumption of culture, the influence of cultural supply and information, the effective interest in culture compared with each cultural practice, among many other indispensable information.

As we consider that there is a very significant set of relevant data that deserves a dedicated look, the 2023 Culture Barometer is presented in individual notebooks, accessible free of charge on our website.

Studies

Studies dedicated to topics such as sustainability, journalism or the interior of the country, resulting from questionnaires, qualitative surveys, focus groups or interviews, which result in regular publications.

Youth

In 2021, we asked Portuguese people about the biggest challenges young people face today. We asked respondents to rate what they consider to be the level of difficulty this age group faces in the areas of housing, employment, education, family, time for social life and leisure, social connection, and mental health and well-being. After analyzing this data, the Gerador has launched a new investigative section, consisting of 7 interviews conducted with 7 different young people, as a way of hearing what each one has to say about these topics. Starting on International Youth Day, on August 12, 2021, each week we will discuss, together with an interviewee, one of the topics brought up for discussion by this questionnaire.
