INESC TEC joined the Big Data Value Association (BDVA), a European organisation that promotes the research, development and adoption of Big Data technologies in a sustainable and innovative ecosystem. This is an important step for the Institute, allowing to advance the impact and visibility of INESC TEC's research in different projects, as was the case of InterConnect.

In a study published in ACM Computing Surveys, Paulo Sérgio Almeida, INESC TEC researcher, synthesises the existing knowledge on approaches to Conflict-free Replicated Data Types, a topic he has been exploring over the past decade. These enable replication in distributed systems with automatic conflict resolution, ensuring high availability – even in the face of communication failures.

The Semear Digital programme was established in Brazil but made its way to Portugal to support small and medium-sized farmers, equipping them with tools to improve profitability. INESC TEC, Embrapa, Associação Mobilizar com Valores (MCV) and Casa Escola Agrícola Campo Verde (CEACV) are the four institutions that participated in the seminar "Semear Digital no Contexto do Agro Luso-Brasileiro", which took place in September (Póvoa de Varzim).

The 15th Meeting of the European Technology Transfer Offices (TTO) Circle took place in Madrid, in late September. The goal? To discuss how technology transfer can drive innovation and address societal challenges, with particular emphasis on stakeholders' collaboration to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while ensuring the EU’s competitiveness. The need to increase private investment in innovation and support start-ups, especially in the digital sector, was also addressed during the event - to achieve balance in reducing regional disparities and promoting excellence hubs.

For the next four years, INESC TEC will lead an international consortium with a budget of €2.6M, aimed at using advanced techniques to measure environmental radioactivity. According to estimates, by 2028, new technological solutions will be available that can improve both climate research - particularly in estimating greenhouse gas emissions - and radiological protection for the population and the environment.

How much can we include in four decades of history? What separates 1985 from 2024? How much has the world changed? What about Portugal? And what about INESC TEC? What is INESC TEC’s role locally, nationally, and internationally? Which path should the Institute follow? The 2024 edition of the Strategic Meeting explored many questions and ideas for the upcoming years. Three hundred people came together to set the stage for the Institution’s 40th anniversary celebration – which will kick off in early 2025.

To benefit all participants in kidney paired donation programmes, encouraging patients to bring more donors into said programmes, thereby increasing compatibility and transplant opportunities – with greater quality and effectiveness. This is the focus of the research work – featuring INESC TEC – that received an award by the Spanish Statistics and Operations Research Society and the BBVA Foundation, for the contribution it brings to the optimisation and design of allocation rules in kidney donation programmes.
