The core objective of Com@Rehab is the development of the Digital Communication Module (MCD Rehab) for an interactive rehabilitation solution in Virtual Reality.
The system was specifically designed for elderly and info-excluded people and at present has a successfully developed prototype.
In total, the 23 projects selected involve 347 research teams from 40 countries, including 34 participants from 16 countries outside the European Union and will be funded by the Horizon 2020 program.
The project aims to create an innovative platform based on nanotechnology for detecting the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in wastewater, leveraging the partners existing knowledge in the field of wastewater pretreatment and the development of biosensors.
These Schools will introduce students from Bachelor's, Master's and pre-doctorate to scientific research practices.
FCT NOVA has, therefore, three approved research projects, recognizing that the School is committed to contributing, in the several areas of knowledge, to fighting the pandemic that the country and the world face.
"Put technology at the service of students is the strong capacity for change and the belief that it is possible to make it happen, involving everyone around a common goal"
“We have to ensure that a student who leaves FCT NOVA at this stage have the same skills as anyone who did it other than in a pandemic period”.
"We are a technology school and it was not at all difficult for us to implement the distance learning system."
"With our work, we are ensuring that more children are able to access distance education and all its benefits,” explain André Damas Mora.
This 100% Portuguese protective equipment, called “Front Line Medic Protection”, was developed by a team of volunteers that includes engineers, doctors, designers, and industry professionals.
This is an important screening work to “be able to prevent, plan and outline strategies to mitigate the contagion of the population".
