The number of people over 65 is expected to double by 2050, according to the United Nations (UN), which has launched several calls for greater support for older population. Data from the European Commission also show that, since 2012, deaths exceed births in the European Union. Active and healthy ageing has been a key topic within European policies, with significant allocation of funding to support research projects in this domain. Coordinated by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC), the VR2Care project - which has now come to an end - received €2.2M funding. One of the results of the project includes the use of virtual reality to promote physical exercise and encourage socialisation among the older population.

The Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC) developed a technology to help monitor an invasive species in Brazil. The sun coral – an invasive species that emerged on the Asian continent and has already colonised the entire Gulf of Mexico – appeared in Brazil in the 1980s. Experts suspect that this species came from oil platforms brought from Asia to other continents.

A sustainable communications solution for the Internet of Things (IoT) is under development. The solution stems from a combination of light and radio communications, in a flexible way, exploring a technology based on printed electronics. More than 11 eleven entities are working on this solution as part of the SUPERIOT (Truly Sustainable Printed Electronics-based IoT Combining Optical and Radio Wireless Technologies) project, funded by the European Commission (€5.6M). There are three Portuguese entities involved - the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC), the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, and Wavecom.
