South of São Miguel, in the archipelago of the Azores, three buoys spent 24 hours at sea collecting data - in this case, noise related to human activities that has an impact on the behaviour of cetaceans. For the first time, it was possible to collect information about underwater noise off São Miguel - more than 10 kilometres from the coast; INESC TEC joined this initiative.

What do a robotic solution that shares information to farmers, a technology that uses AI to detect bovine mastitis at an earlier stage, and a scan for food evaluation that verifies the quality of cereals, predicts production and detects cases of fraud have in common? They were all developed by INESC TEC and nominated for the 11th edition of the Crédito Agrícola Entrepreneurship and Innovation Awards.

35 years separate the beginning and the end of the teaching career of João Gama, one of the most-cited scientists in the world. The INESC TEC researcher, who presented his Last Lecture on November 25, said “goodbye” to the classrooms of the Faculty of Economics of the University of Porto (FEP). The motto? "Where do We Come From? Where are we going?” – the culmination of a recognised academic career, particularly in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning.

At the event promoted by ADRA (AI, Data and Robotics Association) – with INESC TEC as a member – the participants discussed Europe’s role as a leader in the development of reliable, safe and robust AI, Data and Robotics solutions. How can Europe become a global leader and leverage these technological solutions? What’s the impact of said technologies on scientific research? These were some of the issues discussed at the event, featuring INESC TEC; the Institute presented AI use cases and sustainable energy systems.

160 - this is the number of critical infrastructures currently existing in Portugal. From energy to telecommunications, transportation or water supply, there are several systems, assets and networks that are vital to society and the economy. Which threats affect said infrastructures? What is the impact of a catastrophic failure or an attack? How can we ensure security and resilience? These were some of the issues discussed at the ninth edition of the INESC TEC Autumn Forum.

What started with an algorithm designed to capitalise on the value of information and data from wind and solar farms has evolved into an innovative platform for forecasting renewable energy production, particularly offshore wind power. Predico, developed by INESC TEC, is already being tested in an operational environment with Elia, a system operator from Belgium and Germany.

Can INESC TEC change the management of energy communities? Our partners believe so! Following the DIGITAL-CER project, INESC TEC licensed a digital platform for the management of renewable energy communities - RECreation -, which will be used by Capwatt, a company present in Portugal, Mexico, Spain and Italy, specialised in sustainable solutions for the decarbonisation of energy consumption, with a vast portfolio of operational projects and recognised as an independent energy producer.
