O objetivo geral do projeto é o estudo das trajetórias residenciais dos habitantes da Área Metropolitana de Lisboa (LMA), nascidos entre 1935-1985. No entanto, dada a necessidade de aprofundar o conhecimento sobre as mudanças em curso que poderiam constituir a base de uma reestruturação da lógica da metrópole contemporânea, a prioridade foi a análise das gerações mais jovens: as nascidas entre 1965-1985 e cuja entrada na idade adulta e a autonomia residencial provavelmente já ocorrereu após a adesão à UE, o período de emergência dos principais indicadores da modernidade.

Biometric recognition systems target the automatic recognition of a person’s identity based on physical, physiological or behavioural characteristics (something a person is or produces). In particular, verification systems perform one to one authentication, comparing the captured biometric data with that person’s own biometric template (a mathematical representation of the biometric features extracted during the enrolment phase) previously stored in the system.One of the major vulnerabilities associated to biometric recognition systems is that once a biometric template becomes compromised, it cannot be reissued, updated or destroyed. An attacker could then gain access to all the accounts/services/applications using that same biometric trait.The main goal of the project is to create a secure multimodal biometric verification system, supporting the generation of different templates from the same biometric data, as well as cancellable templates. Furthermore, the privacy of the original biometric data needs to be guaranteed, not allowing its recovery from the stored data.State-of-the-art methods will be extended by considering a biometric verification system based on distributed source coding principles and cryptographic hash functions, to enhance security with respect to traditional biometric systems. The additional consideration of multimodal biometrics helps preventing spoof attempts by imposters while increasing recognition rates.

"The aim of this research project is to carry out a comparative study of highly skilled migration made up of health professionals who reside in Portugal and Spain. Specifically, we will analyze migratory processes of health professionals coming from non-EU countries and who practice their profession in Spain and Portugal, with emphasis on the processes of inclusion and integration into the host society. The research will use a combination of several techniques and methods to study this issue, taking into account the gender perspective: analysis of secondary data (legislative and labor frameworks, official statistics, websites of medical societies and professional associations), in-depth interviews, focus groups and semi-structured interviews. In view of the limited research available to examine the processes of socio-professional integration of highly skilled migrants into the societies of destination, studies moving in this direction are relevant and useful. Thus, this research project will contribute to the knowledge of skilled migration and its impact on the European level from a sociological, economic and political point of view."  

O objecto deste projecto incide sobre as identidades e discursos profissionais dos professores em Portugal. Propõe-se investigar a reconstrução das identidades e dos discursos dos professores face às transformações nos contextos do sistema público de ensino.
