A study that led to the development of a model capable of realistically reproducing the flows of collection, transport, consolidation and routing of components along the value chain was recognised at the Industrial Simulation Conference (ISC’2026). The tool, developed by INESC TEC, makes it possible to virtually test different logistics network configurations, assess economic, environmental and operational impact, and quantitatively compare alternatives, supporting companies in their decision-making process.

Drowsiness at the wheel is one of the leading causes of road accidents. But what if it were possible to detect early signs of fatigue before the risk of a crashing increases - giving drivers a timely warning? That is the basis of a study co-authored by Vera Miguéis, INESC TEC researcher - which received the Best CRUSOE Paper Award at an international conference.

It is possible to eat more healthily while significantly reducing the environmental impact of our diet. That is the main conclusion of a study led by researchers from INESC TEC, the GreenUPorto - the Sustainable Agrifood Production Research Centre of the University of Porto – and the Laboratory for Process Engineering, Environment, Biotechnology and Energy (LEPABE / ALiCE). The study analysed the dietary patterns of the Portuguese population and showed that the most sustainable diets generated up to 33% fewer carbon emissions, used 36% less water and required around 50% less land than the least sustainable diets, while also achieving 87% higher nutritional quality.
