Agenda Accelerate and Transform Tourism
The “Accelerate and Transform Tourism Agenda” was one of the projects selected under the Mobilizing Agendas for business innovation of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR). This agenda is promoted by a business and academic consortium of 44 entities, jointly promoted by the Confederation of Tourism of Portugal (CTP), Turismo de Portugal and NEST – Tourism Innovation Centre, and proposes to develop and implement an advanced and innovative concept of “Costumer Journey”, which will involve the implementation of disruptive and innovative solutions in selected focuses throughout the tourist experience. The recommended solutions intend to cover both the tourist attraction phase and the complete journey throughout the experience, including after the end of the experience.
It is intended, thus, to contribute to the change of the profile of specialization in the area of Tourism and in the Portuguese economy in general, to provide companies with greater technological capacity and innovation, also allowing a requalification and specialization of human resources and the reduction of CO2 emissions, taking into account the necessary climate transition.
To achieve this objective, the project/Agenda will focus on 8 implementing axes, namely:
- Digitization directed to the entry and exit of tourists – Airports (digital pillar);
- Digitization of Territories (digital pillar);
- Conversation with the Tourist (digital pillar);
- Experience 5.0;
- Digitalization – Tourist experience (digital pillar);
- Digital and Ecological Transformation in Mobility;
- Sustainability of the Tourism Sector;
- Management, Promotion and Communication Agenda.
It is intended to achieve a high level of digitalization and sustainability in tourism.
Agricultura Aumentada e Sustentabilidade – Explorando o potencial da realidade aumentada e virtual numa Agricultura 4.0
The project aims to create a Development, Demonstration and Training Hub that will allow the mass adoption of a digital and sustainable agriculture, regardless of the size of the farms, through the adoption of augmented and virtual reality technologies. Benefiting from the experience of its partners, this Hub intends to present itself as a reference for the sector, contributing to the development of digitalization in agriculture, through the demonstration, dissemination and training of technology that allow a more Digital Agriculture.
The activities will focus on the following spaces of opportunity as it will take advantage of the integration of data from multiple sources (sensors, machines, models) and formats to dynamically and in real time “deliver” to the farmer in the field the information he needs to make decisions:
- Real-time data and production insights: farmers can view real-time information in the field, such as NDVI collected from the Copernicus system, available soil water from sensors, weather conditions by earth observation and forecasts of productivity, of its exploitation, accelerating and facilitating the decision-making process;
- Increased production: optimised crop treatment through precision agriculture, smarter irrigation management, differentiated phytosanitary treatment, or heterogeneous crop management will maximise the production of a given crop leaf;
- Efficient Use of Water: Weather forecasts combined with soil moisture sensors, will allow the management of irrigation machines applying water only where, when and how much is needed;
- Reduced operating costs: Automating and optimizing seeding, treatment, and harvesting processes can reduce resource consumption, human error, and overall cost;
- Increasing Production Quality: Analyzing production quality and results in correlation with treatment can help farmers adjust processes to increase product quality;
- Accurate assessment of the farm and the plot: accurate knowledge of production per unit of production over time allows a detailed prediction of the future yield of the harvest and its value;
- Remote monitoring: Augmented reality offers the possibility to monitor multiple fields in multiple locations simultaneously from the Internet and via satellite information. Decisions can be made in real time and from anywhere;
- Equipment monitoring: agricultural equipment can be monitored and maintained according to the evaluation of production rates, effectiveness and efficiency of labor and prediction of failures;
- Reduction of the environmental footprint: make more effective conservation efforts, such as the use of water, fertilizers, phytosanitary, without neglecting the increases in production per unit of land, which directly affect the environmental footprint in a positive way;
- Mitigation of impacts with the adoption of new environmental technologies – “nature based solutions” and/or decentralized wastewater treatment systems with agricultural applications (water reuse, phosphorus recovery, composting).
Areas of Work and responsibilities of each partner:
- Coordination of the project and management of the Hub: ISA;

Communitas
With its “Clean Energy for All Europeans” (PESCO) package, the European Commission has formally recognised and instrumentally presented community energy projects, including definitions of “Renewable Energy Communities” (RECs) and “Citizens’ Communities for Energy” (CEC). The new concepts introduced in PESCO pave the way for a more active role for EU citizens in energy markets. In order to fully realise the benefits envisaged by PESCO, it is necessary to overcome a myriad of obstacles and to make progress in clarifying and rationalising the concepts of REC and ECC, allowing for their adoption by all concerned citizens.
Motivated by this challenge, COMMUNITAS will promote energy citizenship, allowing citizens to take control of their own path to sustainability, becoming an active element of the energy system.
The project will provide a knowledge base that will provide users with technical, administrative and legal information on the Energy Communities (EC), simplifying the creation and expansion of this concept. COMMUNITAS will also provide an innovative set of tools – capitalizing on technologies such as IoT, Blockchain and Cloud Computing – to unlock active citizen participation in energy markets and communities (all integrated into an open, digital and “one-stop-shop” central COMMUNITAS (CCP) platform), enabling EC members to have an aggregate position in energy markets or exploit ancillary services using different energy assets or load profiles of the community.
Being a project that aims to put citizens at the center of energy markets, COMMUNITAS has citizens at the center of its own approach: citizens will be involved in the Social and Political Laboratories throughout the project, so as to frequently integrate their reactions, desires and needs into the project’s developments.

i-Território: Modelação Inteligente do Acesso Territorial a Serviços de Interesse Geral
- Sectorial perspective: Addresses the structured organization of equipment and services, seeking to ensure universal coverage for all citizens
- Territorial perspective: Approach based on the characterization of the national territory and its specificities, referring to a spatial expression of asymmetric supply and demand for territorial diversity. The territories are different and for that reason they will bring constraints to the way each citizen will actually have access to these services.
The general objectives of this operation are as follows:
- Support the General Directorate of Territory (DGT) as the entity responsible for planning the national territory, to implement the instruments that allow it, based on an innovative strategy to point to a decentralized and interoperable approach, based on open data and involving the participation of various bodies of the Public Administration and one or more universities/research centers, provide information on citizens’ access to General Interest Services;
- Support DGT in the exercise of its attributions, to implement a prototype based on equipment data from relevant sectors: Health; Education, Social Security and Sports
- Support the DGT in the regular monitoring and evaluation of land use and urban planning policies and sectoral policies with an impact on the organization of the territory;
- Strengthen the capacity for integrated analysis of information, namely in terms of services of general interest;
- Increase the production of territorial knowledge and innovation in terms of territorial management;
- Have a support instrument for the Spatial Planning and Urbanism Observatory;
- Improve service levels and increase user satisfaction (focus on effectiveness);
- Greater and better interaction with the Public Administration, citizens and companies and clarification of processes and responsibilities regarding the production and availability of information.
With the advent of COVID-19, it became even more imperative to diagnose, treat and monitor patients through telehealth, minimizing the movement of citizens to health institutions, maintaining the continuum of care and improving the quality of services provided by the NHS. In technological terms, natural evolution involves increasing the use of various digital channels, starting by optimizing the sharing of information in good time between citizens with illness and the various health agents through more advanced digital interfaces, and new support tools diagnosis and decision for doctors and health professionals. It is for this purpose that the PLANO-A-SAÚDE-C19 is developed.
The mapping of the needs and requirements of doctors and citizens with the pathology that can be served by the platform was done by ULSBA and EM, institutions that provide healthcare in these areas. The design and architecture of the platform was developed in a consortium between GS, ISEL, NOVA IMS, EM and ULSBA. The platform includes components designed to support the activities of the outpatient monitoring process.
The solution will also allow patients to have a more active role in various decision-making processes, being more involved in controlling their disease and relating more effectively and closely with their doctors and health units.
In the context of combating a pandemic such as that currently caused by the outbreak of COVID-19, and considering that a large part of the problems that occurred were difficult to anticipate, it is now clear that the response capacity and, above all, the effectiveness of the solutions developed, it will significantly benefit from a greater sharing of information between the multiple levels of management of our society.
The Data4Covid19 project proposes the development of a platform that enhances the crossing of multiple data sources in an integrated manner, allowing the relevant entities in each of the areas of action to design, implement, and monitor, in an articulated way, measures to combat pandemic.
The proposed action plan intends to guarantee the availability of instruments that contribute, from now on, to a better management of the current situation, but also, that enables an effective retention of knowledge, fundamental for the future combat of situations of the same type, whether in planning and construction of public policies, either in management. Through the ability to aggregate and process multisectoral information, it will be possible to obtain real-time indicators of the measures implemented, in terms of risk management and impact assessment in each of the phases.
This is an application to the R & D Companies typology, in the co-promotion modality, with the promoting consortium consisting of 3 non-business entities from the national I & amp; I system and 2 companies: the Porto Digital Association, the project’s leading entity, the University do Porto, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, NOS COMUNICAÇÕES, SA and TekPrivacy, Lda, as co-motors.

The Competitive Intelligence Center (CIC), is an Alentejo-scale R&I project, focused on valuing knowledge, using data, and transferring it to economic and business activities, from sectors and ranks of endogenous resources, with a view to technological development of companies, their internationalization and the promotion of competitiveness in national and international markets.
Through the analysis and management of information and data science, it is intended, in an analytical way, to create a competitive advantage, lacking, in what concerns the forecasts of demand and profile of the markets, substantiating itself in knowledge. This knowledge is transferred to companies, processing in the technological development of their products and services, adapting them to new patterns of demand and market trends, through for example a new packaging, a differentiating use of the product or even a new storage solution.
The CNMC is also responsible for ensuring that programs/projects are consistent with national priorities in relation to Climate Change, in terms of adaptation and mitigation. In this sense and with the financial support of the EU (AMCC Project) a dashboard was developed to follow external assistance to STP to reach the Determined Contributions at the National level (NDC) at the Climate Change level.
