INESC TEC organises meeting on project SENSEIVER
On 24 May, INESC TEC’s Telecommunications and Multimedia Unit (UTM) organised a meeting on project SENSEIVER – Low-cost and energy-efficient LTCC sensor/IR-UWB transceiver solutions for sustainable healthy environment. The purpose of this meeting was to make an assessment of the project and to demonstrate its progress.
31st May 2013
The meeting was part of one of the regular meetings organised two to three times a year by the Supervisory Board of the SENSEIVER. This is an innovative project where the goal is to develop sensors to monitor environmental parameters.
Another goal of SENSEIVER’s Consortium is to provide an environment of excellence where young researchers can improve their skills in the areas of wireless sensor networks for environmental monitoring. For that, the project provides a set of research activities that include designing wireless transmitters and receivers, and sensors.
The session welcomed 22 participants representing the project partners. Other than INESC TEC, the following institutions were also represented: University of Novi Sad - Faculty of Technical Sciences (Serbia), Vienna University of Technology (Austria), Technical University Gheorghe Asachi (Romania), Institute of Electron Technology (Poland), TES Electronic Solutions GMBH (Germany) and North Point Ltd. (Serbia).
It is important to highlight that one of the main goals of the SENSEIVER is to strengthen the technical foundations and training of Early Stage Researchers (ESRs). For that reason, the meeting was also an opportunity to organise a parallel session where the ESRs hired by each institution as part of this project were able to present their work. In this project, INESC TEC’s team includes Vítor Grade Tavares, Hélio Mendonça and the hired ESRs, Bilal Hussain (Pakistan) and Iman Kianpour (Iran), all researchers at UTM. This team will be responsible for developing a “Transceiver UWB”. The project started in January 2012 and has a duration of four years.
