| Summary: |
The Advanced Production and Intelligent Systems (ARISE) Associated Laboratory (AL) is an association of five R&D Units established in 2021, interfacing public entities of 3 Universities - Coimbra, Minho and Porto, through the R&D Units CEMMPRE, ISR-C, ISISE, SYSTEC - and one Higher Education institution - Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, through CDRSP.
* CDRSP - CENTRE FOR RAPID AND SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
* CEMMPRE - CENTRE FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, MATERIALS AND PROCESSES
* ISISE - INSTITUTE FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
* ISR-UC - INSTITUTE OF SYSTEMS AND ROBOTIC - UNIVERSITY OF COIMBRA
* SYSTEC - RESEARCH CENTER FOR SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES
The ARISE AL brings together around 240 integrated PhD researchers articulating fundamental and applied sciences and technologies from Computation, Material, Management and Information Technologies Sciences, with key very diverse branches of Engineering - Civil, Electrical and Computing, Biomedical and Mechanical - yielding in this way a proper synergistic context and unique position to contribute to:
1) training and promotion of highly qualified scientific employment and attract international talent to Portugal, while
2) responding to key national and international public policies addressing social, environment, and economic challenges for which Production Technologies for Process and Product industries, Manufacturing, Built Environment and Habitat, Materials and Components, Information and Communication Systems, Energy and Mobility, as well as Economy of the Sea, Health, Agriculture, and Forestry, play a key role with emphasis on the comprehensive Reindustrialization and Decarbonization of the National Economy.
To efficiently pursue the above objectives, the ARISE AL is organized in the following five intertwined thematic lines:
* TL1 - New Materials and Compone  |
