  • Talks on Model Driven Engineering & Artificial Intelligence Approaches

    Talks on Model Driven Engineering & Artificial Intelligence Approaches

    We want to invite students, teachers, researchers and professionals in the fields of engineering and management to participate in this event that will take place January 18th, between 1PM and 2PM at Pavilhão de Informática II, Sala 0.17, IST Alameda.

    This series of conversations will start with  Model-based technologies (MDE) and artificial intelligence techniques (AI),  the basis of most systems that will support the activities and businesses of the future.

    Although various areas of computer engineering have been developing rapidly, there are still few companies and universities that have extensively explored techniques involving modeling and rigorous specification of systems, transformation between models, or automatic generation. These techniques are applied at different levels of abstraction and in different application domains such as software engineering, civil, mechanical, but also in health, education, fintech or legaltech. These approaches will allow organizations to raise to a historical level of efficiency, productivity and intelligence.

    Speakers:  Alberto Silva (IST) and João Paulo Carvalho (Quidgest).

    How to participate:

    The registration is free but due to the limited capacity of the auditorium (50 max), the registration is mandatory. Please use this link to do so.

    Also, a light lunch will be offered to the participants at around 12H30PM.

  • Evaluation INESC-ID

    Evaluation INESC-ID

    As Associate Laboratory since 2004,  INESC-ID is periodically evaluated by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT).

    This status is reserved for research institutions of great merit that have been recognized in external assessments as having the “capacity to cooperate in a stable, competent and efficient way in the pursuit of specific political, scientific and national technological objectives”.

    The review is made by an international panel of experts, based on the R&D institutions’ activity reports and proposed strategic plans as well as on direct contacts with researchers and institutions, through site visits and/or interviews by the reviewers.

    All R&D institutions are awarded a qualitative grade, which determines the level of funding to be awarded, until the next review takes place, or until a mid-term assessment is made.

    INESC-ID  most recent evaluation took place December 3rd, and with great effort of all INESC-ID members, we believe we were able to transmit all our passion and commitment.
