The territories promotion is an ongoing challenge for multiple knowledge disciplines. Tourism-related products have been the most suitable ambassador of territories and still have an untapped potential. In scenarios where destinations have territory museums - closed but also open air museums - exists an enormous opportunity to promote the territory through them. But, for accomplish this, ICT have a natural collaborative role, supporting the information and services needs of tourists/visitants either to make their experiences more immersive or/and to allow the visiting to know more about the surrounding environment - the territory. This paper, presenting a model, start to discusses the potential of territory museums as destinations promoters and the role of ICT to provide suitable models that allow in-situ immersive experiences and a full integration with the territories information and services. This approach, merging the physical and the virtual, allow the territories promotion and an integrated approach capable to meet the requirements of visitants that are growing entities for knowledge about he territories that they visit and that they desire to explore.

Abstract
The provision of gerontological care in rural areas represents an added challenge when applied to rural scenarios. This paper discusses the role of technology in gerontology and specifically how technology-based solutions can be developed to assist the elderly population in rural areas. It is also characterized the Northeast Portuguese region exposing its rural characteristics and presented some demographic numbers. Finally, a conceptual model and a prototype supported by mobile devices are presented to assist and monitor the elderly. The developed prototype allows not only to assist the elderly in a set of typical elderly population routines - such as those related to health - but also to improve the interaction between the elderly and their relatives and / or caregivers. This work is part of a more extensive effort that has been made in the search for effective solutions to assist the elderly population in rural areas, typically distant from the main health and / or support services; contributing to relieve these deficits.

Abstract
Tourism and manly experience and cultural heritage tourism are growing in tourist's interests. Rural regions have an untapped potential for this slice of tourism industry. Also, rural regions have an enormous collection of ancestral knowledge. Unfortunately, all this knowledge typically is elders-centered and it lack effective processes of digitalization, storage and providing systems for that all this heritage can be perpetuated through future generations. From this base-thinking it was created a project case study limited to the Portuguese Northeast region, named Viv@vo - living in the grandma's house. This paper presents this project and what it has been achieved during the project development process.
