Projeto AddTech

Este projeto tem como objetivo aproximar as PME’s do setor Metalúrgico e Metalomecânico das tecnologias facilitadoras (Key Enabling Technologies) na área da manufatura aditiva. Serão fomentadas abordagens diferenciadoras dos processos industriais, de design de produtos, de cadeias de abastecimento e de mercados.

FCT-UNL researchers with STOA projects

Three researchers from the IET pole of CICS.NOVA at FCT-UNL are involved in two European Parliament Technology Assessment office (STOA) projects.

One is a project on "Assistive technologies for the inclusion of people with disabilities in society, education and jobs" and has Maria João Maia (PhD student of the UNL programme on TA) as project researcher. She is working in the ITAS-KIT team.

Aims

The aim of the working papers at IET/CICS.NOVA is the improvement of the scientific information exchange in the field of technology assessment, enterprise and work innovation, evaluation of emergent technologies, and foresight in its social and economical dimensions.These working papers should also promote the dissemination of advanced knowledge in research fields of science and technology with a critical perspective.

History of IET at FCT-UNL

IET is a multi-disciplinary research unit of CICS.NOVA research centre, located in FCT-UNL, a faculty in the area of engineering, science and technology. IET was founded as an independent research centre in 2002 from various research groups with experience in national and international networks. Ten years after started a process to FCT-UNL pole of CESNOVA research centre. And from 2014 CESNOVA was integrated with other research centres in the new CICS.NOVA,
