20 Years INESC-ID
Tomorrow we celebrate the 20 years of INESC-ID with a special wide public event at Museu do Oriente. Please join us on this special occasion to share and celebrate the future to come.
The entrance is free. -
Science and Technology Summit 2019
It has ended yesterday another edition of Science and Technology Summit, an event that promotes debates in the most varied areas of science, and also, allows an interaction between researchers, companies and the visiting public.
We were present in another edition with the exhibition of demos from several INESC-ID research groups: GAIPS, L2F, and VIMMI.

Ana Paiva Elected EurAI Fellow
We are proud to announce that our researcher Ana Paiva, from the research group Intelligent Agents and Synthetic Characters (GAIPS), was elected EurAI Fellow by the EurAI Fellows committee 2019.
The
EurAi Fellows program was created by the European Association for Artificial Intelligence in 1999, “to recognize individuals who have made significant, sustained contributions to the field of artificial intelligence (AI) in Europe.” -

‘IoT Board for Agriculture Applications’ at Keep in Touch 2019
INESC-ID has been present in Keep in Touch 2019 with the ‘IoT Board for Agriculture Applications’ demo, presented by the researcher João Tagaio.
The Internet of Things (IoT) allows the connection of different devices to the internet. Therefore, is possible to obtain a series of data and from them, extract useful information to the final user. However, some challenges emerge in the communication area, in terms of protocols used and in the electronics area, where is necessary to develop chips that present a very low current consumption.
In this presentation, it was presented a Real Time Clock (RTC), developed by SiliconGate startup, with consumption in the order of nano ampere. Because of this, the chip is ideal for IoT systems where is necessary to wake up the microcontroller from a sleep state.
The Clock when generating an alarm wakes up the microcontroller which in turn reads the sensors data and communicate them through the radio frequency module. The thesis presented also consists of the development of an IoT system to precision agriculture where an RTC is used to wake up the system. The intention is to achieve very low current consumption levels in a way that the system could work with just one battery charge for years.

QualiChain: Blockchain for education and employment qualifications
INESC-ID is one of the ten partners of Qualichain, a European project focused on the assessment of the implications at technical, political, socio-economic, legal and cultural levels of Blockchain technology for verifying education and employment qualifications. Also, QualiChain specifies in the “impact – in terms of benefits and risks – of the prescribed solution’s utilization”.
QualiChain targets the creation, piloting and evaluation of a decentralised platform for storing, sharing and verifying education and employment qualifications and focuses on the assessment of the potential of blockchain technology, algorithmic techniques and computational intelligence for disrupting the domain of public education, as well as its interfaces with private education, the labour market, public sector administrative procedures and the wider socio-economic developments.
INESC-ID is in charge of designing some of the components of the platform and participates in one of the pilots. This research project is coordinated at INESC-ID by Miguel Pupo Correia.
