Which and how much investment must be made to support clean energy? What is the geographical scale that will lead to a smaller climate dependence? How far is Europe from adopting a policy that does not just consider the interests of individual nations? These are some of the topics that will be addressed at the seventh edition of the INESC TEC Autumn Forum, promoted by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC). This year, the event focuses on issues related to the energy transition and how the environment, energy, and the economy interconnect. Governments, researchers, and entrepreneurs will discuss technical, regulatory, and environmental solutions to help define public policies that promote the decarbonisation of the economy.

Making buildings more energy efficient, introducing the aspect of flexibility, reducing CO2 emissions, involving building owners, energy suppliers and investors, through an energy performance contracting model that benefits from smart buildings – this was the main objective of the European project AmBIENCe, with the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC) as partner. How? By developing and providing a set of resources that facilitate the entire process of energy performance contracting, while introducing demand response and supporting the uptake or renewable energy sources, ensuring greater efficiency and emissions reduction at a lower cost.

Portuguese researchers created a drone-supported communication network to address natural disasters. The technology was developed by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC) - the only Portuguese partner of the international project ResponDrone – Situational Awareness System for First Responders. The project ended this year, and the Portuguese institute was responsible for developing the drone-supported wireless communication solution, which ensures contact between emergency teams on the ground and the command centres.

The objective of the project SoTecIn Factory – Social and Technological Innovation Factory for low carbon and circular industrial value chains, is to contribute to the development of a more sustainable and resilient industry. Led by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC), this European project provides €3.3M to support social innovations that improve the circularity of value chairs and the reduction of industries' carbon footprint.
Date 21st July 2022
During the summer vacation, 32 college students will have the opportunity to carry out research initiation activities on topics like quantum simulation with light fluids, computer vision for biometrics or automatic positioning systems of underwater robots. These activities are promoted by the Institute for Systems and Computers Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC) - which, through the initiative "Verão com Ciência" 2022, funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology, opened a call for scientific initiation grants.
Date 14th July 2022
The Demo4Green project, led by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC), will support eight companies in the development of innovative technologies towards reducing the industry's carbon footprint, while contributing to the green and digital transformation of the European industry. The selected companies will receive €10K to demonstrate their solution in the Teaching and Learning Factories located in eight European countries. In Portugal, the designated company will have the possibility to install the technology at iiLab – INESC TEC's Industry and Innovation Laboratory.
