He is a collaborating member of the Centre for Psychology at University of Porto (CPUP), serves on the Editorial Committee and the European Board of Laboreal, and is a member of the Editorial Committee of Humanities & Social Sciences Communications. He is also a full member of the Portuguese Psychologists’ Association and of the technical-scientific networks IEA, SELF, and SPOSHO, specialising in activity-centred ergonomics, work psychology, and occupational health and safety.
