“This is Portugal” is the most recent campaign promoting entrepreneurship and technology, comparing some of the portuguese startups with portuguese history. The innovation in health of our startup HeartGenetics, which is dedicated to keeping people healthy using genetic data, is therefore compared with the written legay in 1250 of Pedro Hispano, Pope João XXI, “Treasury of the Poor”, as the healthcare bible of the middle ages.


Most likely, you have heard of the generations of mobile phones, rather than the mobile communications systems that are used by mobile phones. Most likely also, you don’t have a precise idea of the ones that exist and the difference between them. In fact, the telecommunications industry has called technological leaps in mobile communications systems for generations, which have emerged regularly at the beginning of each decade. ” An article at the ionline by Luis Correia, Vice-President for the Management of the Taguspark Campus and coordinator of the Radio on Wireless research group at INESC-ID:

ISTNANOSAT-1, the nano satellite developed by students and teachers with the collaboration of AMRAD, was integrated into the “Fly your satellite” program of the European Space Agency (ESA). The team, involving researchers from IST, INESC-ID and IT, now comprises a group of six universities from across Europe that will have ESA’s support in validating and flying their satellites, with no final testing and launch costs .
The satellite is being built from scratch by the team. The detailed design of all satellite systems has been validated by ESA experts.
The launch will take place from the ISS in late 2019, beginning of 2019. ISS will be shipped to the ISS.


MagCyte Team (IST, INESC-ID, INESC-MN, JANZ SA) wins the award “Born From Knowledge” from the National Innovation Agency (ANI), at the i3S-Hovione Capital Health Innovation Prize, for their work in early cancer detection based on a lab-on-Chip that performs a magneto immuno-assay, using a simple blood sample.

The european project RAGE has been short-listed for the Innovation Radar Prize 2017. It is one of 10 innovations which have been selected to compete for the prize in the “Early Stage Innovation” category. The Innovation Radar initiative of DG CONNECT identifies high potential EU-funded innovations and innovators and seeks to help them get their innovation ‘out of the lab’ and into the market. To determine the finalists of the different categories of the prize, the profile of all nominees has been published and a voting poll has been launched for all those willing to support European innovation. Voting closes on October 15th.
On behalf of the RAGE team, we ask you to support our project by casting your vote using the following link:
The prize will be awarded in Budapest during the ICT Proposers Day event taking place on the 9th and 10th November 2017.
The RAGE project is coordinated at INESC-ID by researcher Rui Prada, from the Intelligent Agents and Synthetic Characters research group.

Last European Researchers’ Night at Pavilhão do Conhecimento – Ciência Viva was a sucess. Sixteen researchers involved, during an eight-hour exhibition. Demos in virtual reality, spoken language systems and sustainable mobility, covering several research areas, like health, education, environment and serious games.

The 3rd International Summer School on Social Human-Robot Interaction welcomes PhD students and young researchers for an intensive five days of lectures and ateliers covering a wide range of topics in social HRI.The summer school is being held at Vila Nova de Milfontes, at the southwest coast of Portugal from Monday 4 September to Friday 8 September 2017.
The summer school will have a wide-ranging programme of lectures, discussions and hands-on ateliers on topics such as social signal processing, robotics and autism, child-robot interaction, multi-modal communication, natural language interaction, smart environments, robot assisted therapy, interaction design for robots, tools and technologies, and ethics. The school is for participants who seek a background and hands-on experience in the interdisciplinary science and technology supporting social human-robot interaction.
