Latest Highlights
Institutional Visits from eCampus and Champalimaud Centre
ISR-Lisboa welcomed two key visits in April: a Champalimaud Foundation team, led by Joe Paton, which showcased Caroline Haimerl’s research on action‑grounded AI; as well as Italy’s Università eCampus presented its labour‑market‑aligned, badge‑certified training model—together highlighting Técnico’s drive for research‑industry synergy.
LARSyS Earns “Excellent” Rating in Latest FCT Evaluation
LARSyS has been awarded an Excellent rating in the latest national research evaluation by FCT, as part of the 2023/2024 Multiannual R&D Funding Programme. The evaluation, which assessed scientific output from 2018 to 2023 and strategic plans through 2029, placed LARSyS among the top-performing research units in the country.
2025 Get Together Seminars
Research tends to bloom when there are opportunities to Get Together and exchange ideas. That’s why the Get Together Seminar Series by ISR-Lisboa ensures an opportunity to gather every month, not only within our community, but also with other LARSyS researchers, Técnico units and services, or industry partners.
ISR-Lisboa helps relaunch small boats in the Atlantic Ocean
An important step was taken in the continuation of the American educational project "Educational Passages", which involved a collaboration between Instituto Superior Técnico the, Institute for Systems and Robotics in Lisbon and the Escola Azul programme, implemented by DGPM - Directorate General for Maritime Policy, with additional support from the company Transinsular. The project aims to launch small, unmanned boats equipped with GPS into the ocean, like 21st-century "messages in a bottle," allowing their paths to be followed as they cross the sea.
Visit from greek Deputy Minister for Development
On February 17th at ISR-Lisboa, we welcomed Zoe Rapti, Greece’s Deputy Minister for Development, alongside Portugal’s Secretary of State in Science, Ana Paiva.
National Science & Technology Week
ISR-Lisboa researchers visited schools in the Lisbon area to talk to students for the "Engenharia e Ciência vão à Escola” Técnico initiative. Six researchers interacted with six classes of different ages, with themes ranging from AI, robotics, innovation and space technology.
We aim to catalyze positive change in human and societal systems, driven by a dual commitment: to advance the frontiers of both fundamental and applied science & technology and to train the next generation of experts.
