MOVES-IT a new project of GECAD - European Urban Initiative

The MOVES-IT project has been approved! Among the 20 projects selected for funding under the European Urban Initiative is the MOVES-IT project promoted by the partnership between the Municipality of Matosinhos, IrRADIARE, University of Aveiro, GECAD - Institute of Engineering - Polytechnic of Porto (ISEP/IPP), GREENROOFS® - National Association of Green Roofs

MOVES-IT was selected from among 110 applications from 23 Member States of the European Union!

MOVES-IT promotes the empowerment of citizens with digital tools, contributing to transform Matosinhos into a greener, more connected and vibrant city.

MOVES-IT promotes the digitalization of public services, integrating improvements in data collection, promoting urban governance with an active contribution from the community. Data on green spaces, water resources and sustainable practices of citizens will be centralized and shared in an Urban Intelligence Center, among other collaborative, sustainable and innovative activities!

GECAD has once again been rated EXCELLENT in the evaluation process promoted by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) for the period 2018-2024. This rating is valid for the period 2025-2029.

GECAD's great capacity to attract international and national projects and publish in the best scientific journals and conferences, the internationally recognized scientific merit of the GECAD team, the capacity to train human resources at the highest level and the impact of GECAD's activity on companies, Society and People were decisive in renewing the Excellent rating.

O Doutoramento em Inteligência Artificial e Engenharia de Sistemas Inteligentes (DIAESI) do ISEP visa fornecer uma formação científica avançada dos fundamentos da Inteligência Artificial e capacitar na Conceção e Desenvolvimento de Sistemas Inteligentes que permitam resolver problemas complexos em Empresas e outras Organizações, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento da Sociedade, tendo sempre em conta aspetos éticos e sociais.
Trata-se do primeiro Doutoramento com a designação “Inteligência Artificial” em Portugal.
O Programa Doutoral envolve 7 semestres (3,5 anos) tendo 5 unidades curriculares no primeiro ano, incluindo uma unidade curricular de preparação para o desenvolvimento da Tese de Doutoramento. Os últimos 5 semestres são vocacionados para o desenvolvimento da Tese de Doutoramento, correspondendo a uma unidade curricular plurianual.
As aulas serão desenvolvidas em regime pós-laboral (2 dias por semana).
As aulas deverão começar entre meados de setembro e inícios de outubro.

GECAD is participating in the first annual meeting CYTED thematic network - Network for large-scale integration of renewable energy into electrical systems – (P722RT0026 RIBIERSE-CYTED – https://lnkd.in/dbcUQE2k) – coordinated by
Jesus de la Casa Hernandez (University of Jaen – Spain).

The Technical University of Manabí (Ecuador) organizes this meeting of the Red RIBIERSE-CYTED- in the city of Portoviejo (Ecuador). This annual meeting will take place from October 24 to 26, 2023 in the Auditorium of the Faculty of Sciences, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry of the UTM (Portoviejo, Ecuador).

The sessions will be hybrid on the 24th and 25th, with different work sessions specific to the Network taking place on the 24th. On the other hand, on the 25th the presentation of papers by the members of the Network will take place within the 7th Scientific Convention International (CCIUTM-2023), which is also hosted by this university. Finally, on the 26th, various technical visits will be made to surrounding facilities.

We invite you to participate in an online format knowing that the group leaders will be in person in the rooms in the hosting UTM partner.
