O projeto constrói-se a partir de um conhecimento prévio, aprofundado, das formas de poder não formal, das hierarquias e valores socioculturais, em ambos os países, e ao longo das últimas décadas e propõe-se a analisar os processos de decisão relativos aos percursos dos indivíduos, tentando encontras as instâncias da desigualdade (de género, por exemplo no acesso à educação e abandono escolar), da violência (de género e contra minorias sexuais, por exemplo com a mutilação genital feminina e formas de violência sobre as comunidades LGBTQ) e ilegitimidade (social, por exemplo as liberdades sexuais representadas por formas não normativas de sexualidade como a homossexualidade e o mulipartenariado feminino). Através da análise da adesão ou recusa aos direitos sexuais e reprodutivos, e dos fatores influentes nos processos de escolha, relativamente a práticas culturais marcadas para mudança, consideramos a forma crítica como as sociedades locais recebem estes discursos. 

To provide a solution towards meeting new and ever more stringent end-user requirements, mobile stakeholders are preparing the 5G technology of mobile broadband networking. 5G will be characterized by ultra-high traffic volume density, ultra-high connection density or ultra-high mobility, moving from a cell centric to a user-centric technology.This research explores the Carrier Aggregation technique to obtain high spectral efficiency, through the massification of small cells (SCs), together with new network technologies like C-RAN. Scenarios with exclusive spectrum access and spectrum sharing will be explored. Spectrum sharing assumes that two or more mobile operators/carriers have dedicated spectrum for macro cellular layer while SCs will use exclusive shared spectrum (by paying a fee) or share the access to non-licensed spectrum in an opportunist manner. Both terrestrial cellular scenarios and HetNets with drones small cells will be investigated, and some tests will be done with programmable electronic envisaging demonstrating the concept in real environments. Entrepreneurship is also a target and training will be provided in the venues of the CONQUEST Workshops. Cost/revenue optimization is one of the final goals of the research.IT will contribute with analytical formulations, simulation, carrier aggregation, inclusion of spectrum sharing, hardware testing in the ORCIP platform (an FCT infrastructure recently approved, which will provide equipment and measurement instruments for testing, as well as support for real operation of the HetNet infrastructure, http://www.orcip.pt), design and implementation of the drones small cells and cost/revenue optimization, entrepreneurship and business strategies. IT will also provide the required interactions to PDMFC, the Portuguese SME that is interested in exploring the technology.

The research project centered on the development of a maturity model specifically tailored for DevOps practices. The primary objective was to create a comprehensive framework that organizations could use to assess and measure their level of maturity in adopting and implementing DevOps methodologies. By studying industry best practices, analyzing existing DevOps processes, and considering key indicators and benchmarks, the project aimed to develop a structured model. This maturity model would provide organizations with a roadmap to evaluate their DevOps practices, identify areas for improvement, and define strategic steps toward higher levels of maturity. The project aimed to bridge the gap between current practices and desired DevOps standards, enabling organizations to enhance collaboration, streamline software development processes, automate workflows, and achieve greater agility and efficiency. Ultimately, the maturity model aimed to assist organizations in optimizing their DevOps implementation and fostering a culture of continuous improvement

The research project focused on the development of a parking guiding system. The primary objective was to create a technology-driven solution that would assist drivers in finding available parking spaces efficiently. By leveraging advanced sensors, real-time data analysis, and intuitive user interfaces, the project aimed to develop a system that would guide drivers to vacant parking spots within parking facilities. The system would provide real-time information on parking availability, guiding drivers to the nearest open spaces through visual indicators or mobile applications. The project aimed to address the challenge of parking congestion, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance overall parking management efficiency. By providing drivers with accurate and up-to-date information, the system aimed to optimize the utilization of parking spaces, improve the overall parking experience, and contribute to more sustainable and organized urban environments.
