Major ITER contract secured by ISR and IPFN researchers

The Institute for Systems and Robotics (ISR) and Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear (IPFN), both from IST, are part of the consortium that won recently a contract of 100 million EUR, considered to be one of the biggest robotics contracts to date in the field of fusion energy. The state of the art equipment will form part of ITER, the world’s largest experimental nuclear fusion facility and the first in history to produce 500 MW. The prestigious project brings together seven parties (China, Europe, Japan, India, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation and the USA) which represent 50% of the world’s population and 80% of the global GDP.”

The ISR-Lisbon team includes Maria Isabel Ribeiro and Rodrigo Ventura, and on the IPFN side, Alberto Vale and Pedro Lopes.

Congratulations to all involved!

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.
