How is it possible to make refuse collection more efficient and economical? Three researchers from INESC TEC’s Information and Computer Graphics Systems Unit (USIG) are trying to provide an answer to that question with the CleanMyCity. This is an app to manage refuse collection, developed as part of APSAT, a European project that wants to demonstrate the efficiency of innovative satellite services, allowing communities to promote a sustainable development.

In 2012, BIP featured several (good) news about researchers awarded for their work in different components. Literary awards, Best Papers Awards, winning projects and other distinctions, they all illustrate the research potential of this Associate Laboratory. The BIP team made a list of last year’s awards and we came up with a staggering number of 31 awards received by our collaborators. It is safe to say that excellence lives at INESC TEC!

The Douro Valley portal is truly innovative as it allows users to choose a place and date for a visit and then see all of the places of interest and events that will be happening nearby, offering dozens of fully geo-referenced itineraries and even offering the possibility to design a route with different places of interest and book the accommodation. This is an intuitive tool, with INESC TEC branding, that will revolutionise tourism in the Douro Valley and strengthen the region’s reputation as a classified World Heritage site (2001 UNESCO).
