Until 2021, €26.4M will be invested in order to increase the integration of renewable energy sources in Europe. Of those, €20.0M will be funded by the European Commission. The goal of the European Commission is for at least 50% of the energy in Europe to come from renewable sources, mainly wind, solar and water. A total of 34 institutions will work towards the same goal and three of these are Portuguese – Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC), EDP Distribuição and CNET – Centre for New Energy Technologies. Northern Portugal will have a real demonstration zone.

There is a new method for monitoring the state of the national electrical grid and it has earned Bruna Tavares the REN award, amounting to €12,500. Imagine a robot with a path to follow. Along that path, the robot receives light and acoustic signals to guide it. It must combine these signals in order to form an internal map that allows it to understand the exterior reality. Let us now apply the same concept to the electrical system in order to understand the new method proposed by the researcher, which essentially consists of producing, in a similar manner, a sensor fusion of signals received by different devices in order to better understand the state of the national electrical grid. This was the prize winner of this year's edition of the oldest Portuguese award acknowledging scientific contributions.

Twenty-four Portuguese institutions will have €9.5M until 2020 to start the biggest Portuguese R&D project in the area of Media. The ultimate goal is to develop a series of national businesses in the sector, reinforcing the presence of national entities in international markets by providing new products and systems aimed at the digital content sector.
Date 13th November 2017
INESC TEC and Tekever are developing under the scope of the WISE project a wireless communication solution based on the use of drones as “flying” access points, which will have the ability to establish, re-establish and reinforce wireless communications in emergency situations.

A team led by Portuguese researchers discovered brain substructures with different connectivity profiles which affect the motor and non-motor aspects of the human body. These findings can help medical teams to improve the targets of their Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) procedures in patients with dystonia and Parkinson’s disease. The results have just been published in one of the most prestigious journals in the field of Neuroscience, Neuroimage.
Date 24th January 2017
Until 2017, four large smart grid demonstrators will be installed in Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Poland. The goal is to develop and implement monitoring and control solutions, including new equipment and systems, that will promote the users’ participation in the energy marker. This project will be receiving an investment of €15.7M, €11.9M of which from the European Union.
Date 10th February 2016
Between 5 and 10 September, the River Lima, in the city of Viana do Castelo, Portugal, will be filled with 100% autonomous vehicles equipped with innovative robotic applications. The vehicles will be participating in the World Robotic Sailing Championship – WRSC 2016, organised by the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) and the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC).
