Projects

The 3E@schools Porject aims to:

• provide participants with skills that allow them to adapt to new digital tools, as well as to select those that improve and enhance the students’ learning process;
• present and discuss several cases of online moderation, highlighting the opinions and contributions of the teacher, the student and the learning communit;
• train teachers to develop eAssessment strategies, focusing on balance, flexibility and reliability. Use cases will be shared and discussed, especially with regard to the eAssessment design.

Back2Basics is a Erasmus+ project aimed at addressing digital transformation in the HE system and bringing HE systems and labor markets closer together, working in the enhancement of digital skills in the HEI in order to train more digitally prepared teachers and graduates.

The objective of Citizen Arenas for Improved Environmental Quality & Resource use in SMART-ER Cities is to raise citizens’ awareness about environmental challenges and alternative resource management options related to water, biodiversity, waste, air, climate and energy.

Citizen Arenas: An open collaborative forum bringing together citizen and researchers; Enabling co-creation of  scientific questions related to air & water quality or energy and waste resources

Citizens will be involved in each step: discussion, definition of research topics, creation of research teams (citizen and researchers),  research projects, analysis to final dissemination.

This project aims at identifying the policy tools, which best allow for the valorization of territorial resources in order to promote employment and quality of life in Centro Region. The main outcome of the project will be a proposal of a territorial innovation model led by community and powered by digital media, as well as an impact assessment framework that will foster the foundation of an Observatory for Human Capital and regional innovation performance in the University of Aveiro

The purpose of CARE is to increase social and environmental awareness and the perception of the cultural value of traditional and more austere habits, for so promoting responsible consumption, through reuse, recycling, preference for nearby products, reduction of waste and draining of water and energy, moderate use, etc. The need for a project like CARE increases precisely at this very moment, in which the end of the CoVid-19 pandemic is glimpsed and the expectation of an unprecedented uptick in the consumption of individuals and families once restrictions are relieved could be anticipated.

The CHIC – Cooperative Holistic View on Internet and content project was submitted, evaluated and approved for financing under the call “Mobilizers programs” supported by Portugal 2020 funds. With a total approved budget of nearly 10 M€, CHIC was submitted by a consortium of 24 entities headed by MOG Technologies, S.A. The consortium incorporates different entities, from SME to medium/large companies passing throw institutions from the Portuguese Scientific and Technological System.
The CHIC – project, aims to develop, test and demonstrate a wide range of new processes, products and services that have a significant impact on the audiovisual and multimedia sectors. These products by their nature will have a clear mobilizing effect on other important sectors of culture such as the cultural heritage, archives, books and publications or the performing arts.
The DigiMedia team will be involved with major responsibilities in the pilot dealing with NLI – Natural Language Interaction for online navigation and cable distribution systems. The DigiMedia team main responsibilities will be on the technological mapping of NLI technologies, training and modelling, development and implementation of the technical solution, trial run and optimization in heterogeneous conditions, pilot deployment, pilot evaluation and dissemination actions.

Dementia, a syndrome progressively impacting cognitive abilities and behavior, stands as a significant cause of dependency in aging populations, affecting 10 million individuals in Europe. Portugal, ranking fourth in prevalence among OECD countries, grapples with a lack of information on active engagement for persons with dementia. In response, the DECOHDE project emerges, dedicated to meticulously designing information resources for this demographic. Anchored in person-centered care, rights-based dementia approach, and inclusive design, DECOHDE aims to co-create a dementia-friendly information platform prototype. Through qualitative methodologies and expert involvement, the project seeks to redefine societal perceptions of dementia, empower individuals, and bridge the knowledge gap for both persons with dementia and their caregivers. The anticipated outcomes include a tangible prototype and a publication outlining best practices for designers and information providers in this specialized field. DECOHDE aspires to pioneer a future where dementia-friendly information is not only informative but also emotionally resonant, fostering a more humane understanding of dementia.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the major public health problems world-wide. Inappropriate use of antibiotics is currently regarded as the main determinant of such resistance. The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of e-Health tools to support clinical decision and patient empowerment in upper respiratory infections management. We will carry out a cluster randomized controlled trial covering all general practitioners and community pharmacists in Centre Region of Portugal, to prevent cross-contamination between groups, allocation will be performed on the basis of clusters rather than individuals. The centre region it will be divided into eight spatial clusters, accordingly with our previous studies (PTDC/SAU-ESA/105530/2008). It will be designed a reinforcement intervention that will consist of group outreach visits, an online course, a clinical decision support system for the physicians and pharmacists and also an e-Health tools for patients.

The project’s overall aim is to strengthen the profile of Digital Citizenship Education (DCE) vis-à-vis Foreign Language Education. Digital Citizenship Education has emerged as a supranational priority and has proved to play a crucial role in education: in fact, the Council of Europe has produced a set of documents and tools that analyze “good practice in digital citizenship education as well as the gaps and challenges in formal and informal learning contexts” (Richardson and Milovidov 2019, p. 9). In order to facilitate the implementation of DCE in schools and in curricula across Europe, subject-specific adaptations are required which, at moment, are still lacking despite being explicitly called for in available DCE publications published by the Council of Europe. This implementation would include a thorough adaptation of DCE principles and objectives into foreign language education (FLE). The DiCE.Lang project has envisaged four intellectual outputs: a survey, a set of open educational resources, a teacher training package, and a policy framework.

De-TEL aims to identify good practices in doctoral education in TEL by conducting a survey of content, topics, teaching methods, and administrative settings.
DE-TEL will develop a new program for doctoral education in TEL and OERs available and sustainable via technical infrastructure and will also evaluate the new program for doctoral education in TEL in a series of training events for PhD students and teaching staff across Europe. DE-TEL aims to exchange and spread good practices in doctoral education in TEL across Europe.

Emerging remote sensing technologies for real-time support of navigation safety in harbour areas has as main purpose develop innovative monitoring technologies, in almost real time, for harbour inlets. The developed system collects sea bottom data as bathymetric indicators and local hydrodynamics, namely, physical parameters like wave height, wave period, predominant direction and tide height. The NAVSAFETY project, by using remote sensing technologies and innovative image processing methodologies, enables make available information for a wide range of ocean wave conditions, including extreme (storm) events, conditions for which maritime safety issues become particularly pertinent.

The MixMyVisit project aims to develop a solution for the automatic creation of memory videos of visits to public and cultural places (e.g., museums, parks, …). These videos will be generated from pre-recorded videos and indexed to different locations in that space and content shared by the user (e.g., photos and videos). The videos generated can then be shared by users, for example, on social networks.
