How can we bring science and culture closer together? The answer may now be reached more quickly - with the appointment of INESC TEC researcher Susana Bayo as a member of the Consello da Cultura Galega, the advisory body of the Autonomous Community of Galicia responsible for promoting knowledge and advising the regional government on cultural matters.

Managing an energy community could become even more efficient thanks to a set of digital tools that INESC TEC is developing within the European EMPEDOFLEX project. There are at least 10 interoperable applications in development, which will be validated in four real-world cases, designed to help municipalities, grid operators, and energy community managers reduce costs, integrate more renewable energy sources, and increase network resilience.

The AI, Data and Robotics Forum (ADRF) is one of Europe’s leading events dedicated to Artificial Intelligence (AI), data, and robotics. The 2025 edition took place in Stavanger, Norway, on September 23 and 24 - with a strong presence from INESC TEC. Before the event ended, an announcement was made: ADRF 2026 will take place in Porto, with INESC TEC responsible for organising the event.

The future of the energy transition depends on the development of open source. At least that is the conviction of INESC TEC, which took part in the Linux Foundation (LF) Energy Summit 2025, one of the most relevant events for the energy sector and the open-source community. Over two days, participants were able to explore digital tools that are already being applied in real-world contexts.

At INESC TEC, multiculturalism is celebrated in many ways, with several initiatives led by groups like the Diversity and Inclusion Commission. But there are also groups of researchers who choose to combine scientific debate with a celebration of cultural diversity. Every month, researchers in the power & energy domain gather for what they call scientific or brainstorming sessions. And then? They celebrate multiculturalism in various ways; most recently, they did so through a multicultural afternoon snack break, where food took centre stage.
