We would like to share our satisfaction and pride with our network about seeing Professor Jose Tribolet, founder of #INESC, distinguished with the Scientific Merit Medal by the Portuguese Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education. 🏅 This award acknowledges his invaluable contributions to advancing Science and Scientific Culture in Portugal since the 80s. 📷 Encontro Ciência 24 / Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT)

The #CICLOPE project by INOV exemplifies the necessary advancement in combating forest fire threats via technological innovation. Tailored for automatic detection and immediate response to wildfires, it serves as a crucial instrument in managing these calamities more efficiently by helping the optimization of the allocation of #Firefighting resources. 🔥   👁️ #CICLOPE's versatility enables it to operate over territories of any size, incorporating Surveillance and Data Acquisition Towers as well as Control and Management Centres. Comprising georeferenced video streaming, it allows identifying smoke, hot spots, and flames under all conditions, whether day or night, offering critical, real-time data to firefighting teams.   🛰️ Key technologies: By harnessing #IoT, #UnmannedAerialVehicles, #AugmentedAnalytics, and #AI, #CICLOPE elevates real-time surveillance, facilitating the simultaneous management of multiple incidents and thus enhancing the efficiency of firefighting operations.   📈 2023 Impact highlights: - 144 Remote Monitoring Towers - Over 50 Management and Control Centres - Coverage spans 4,000,000 hectares, approximately 45% of mainland Portugal   #CICLOPE's contribution towards wildfire management illustrates the importance of innovative technology in protecting natural landscapes and fostering a safer environment. 🌲   Learn more about it here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dSYn85q5   #TogetherWeInnovate #INESC

Have you heard of BIP PROOF?🧐 The support program for the development of proofs of concept at Universidade do Porto is back and has 60 thousand euros to distribute!

“View-to-communicate and communicate-to-view” is the motto of the #CONVERGE project. Led by INESC TEC, the project merges #Telecommunications and #ComputerVision. 🔗 What’s the main goal? ➡️Developing an innovative toolset consisting of vision-aided large intelligent surfaces, vision-aided fixed and mobile base stations, a vision-radio simulator and 3D environment modeller, and machine learning algorithms for multimodal data including radio signals, video streams, radio frequency (RF) sensing, and traffic traces. What will be the impact? ➡️By combining RF imaging and computer vision, applications can become far more powerful, even in challenging environments with obstructions or limited lighting. Merging wireless communication, computer vision, and machine learning technology will open up a world of possibilities, from 6G networks to self-driving automobiles. Coordinated by INESC TEC, the #CONVERGE project has 15 partners from six countries (Portugal, Finland, Spain, France, the United Kingdom and the United States of America).

⚡ “𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗮𝗻 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱” “We may have a problem of lack of consumption as early as 2030 if measures are not taken to promote the electrification of consumption, particularly in transport.”, states Rui Castro, INESC-ID researcher who has recently authored an opinion article, published in the newspaper “Jornal i”. In this article, Rui Castro raises concerns about future national electric energy consumption, noting that if the National Energy and Climate Plan is successful, the installed capacity in the National Electricity System (SEN) will double by 2030, greatly surpassing current demand. 🔗 Learn more here👇 https://lnkd.in/dz7NBAe2 #energy #sustainability #innovation #electrification #renewableenergies

Last week, INESC TEC, represented by the Business Developer and Researcher Carlos Alexandre Ferreira, was at the EARTO WG #Healthcare meeting in Leuven (Belgium) at imec's facilities. During this gathering, there was a focus on #FP10, discussing agendas and priorities for health R&D. The spotlight was on charting the future path for applied health research, particularly on harnessing the potential insights from Europe's #ChipsAct. 💡 At INESC, we acknowledge the importance of belonging to such a group. With the effort of all members, it's set to make a tangible impact, significantly enhancing healthcare outcomes throughout Europe. 🌍 EARTO - European Association of Research and Technology Organisations #Research #Innovation #Health

Today, #INESCTEC was honored to receive Elisa Ferreira, European Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms. The visit was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our projects and INESC TEC’s work across a wide range of scientific and technological fields. A huge thank you to the Commissioner and her team for taking the time to visit us. Together, we are committed to driving innovation and making a positive impact in society. 👏 #Innovation #Technology #Science #Cohesion #Reforms #PositiveImpact
