11 Headquarters & Branch Office Our Headquarter in UPTEC was voted 'Building of the Year 2011' in a competition hosted by ArchDaily.com and provides the most inspiring environment to our team! The project was once again awarded in 2016, as the winner of the Green GOOD DESIGN Award; Since July 2015, Fraunhofer AICOS has expanded to Lisbon with the creation of a branch office in the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research; The new branch office allows to expand capacity of hosting additional researchers, higher integration with scientific organizations and proximity to industry clients. 11

12 Knowledge Transfer Support Project CTFhP CTFhP Collective Transfer FhP Reinforcement of FhP s ability to transfer scientific knowledge aimed at increasing its economic value and potential impact; Dissemination and diffusion of the knowledge and technologies generated on FhP towards the business fabric; Supports actions such as: Demonstrative pilot projects with companies; Organization of FhP Challenge event and Fraunhofer Collective Transfer Days; Participation on Exhibitions, Forums, Workshops and Networking events. 12

13 Strategic Research Agenda: Focus Areas AAL (Ambient Assisted Living) ICT4D (ICT for Development) Key Target Groups: Ageing & Elderly (including their relatives, caregivers and communities) Populations in Rural & Developing Areas Subfields: Fall and activity monitoring Chronic diseases & Well-Being Management Assistive environments mgovernment mhealth magriculture ICT for Very Small Enterprises 13

14 Strategic Research Agenda AAL AAL Ambient Assisted Living Foster the creation of innovative ICT-based real products that support ageing and elderly people in the process of ageing well at home, in the community and at work; Contribute to the design of sustainable business cases that enable the improvement of the quality of life, autonomy, the participation in social life, skills and the employability of elderly people; Focused on end-users, caregivers, family and related people; Promote cost reduction of health and social care. 14

15 Strategic Research Agenda ICT4D ICT4D Information and Communication Technologies for Development Investigation of user demands for mobile ICT solutions in the fields of agriculture, urban micro enterprises, m-health and e-government and their potential socioeconomic impact in developing countries; Joint development of locally relevant solutions which might get incubated into new businesses; Knowledge transfer to ensure a sustainable benefit for an independent and uprising ICT industry in the partner countries; Enabling long-term partnerships between the developing countries and the European partners. 15

16 Strategic Research Agenda Scientific Areas Human-Computer Interaction Information Processing Autonomic Computing Adapting interaction to specific user needs From raw data To meaningful information Smarter machines: less configuration & maintenance - User & Social Experience - Mobile & Future Devices - Evaluation & Usability - Content Retrieval - Context Awareness - Multimodal Information Fusion - Remote Management, Control and Configuration 16

17 Strategic Research Agenda Competence Centres In 2013 Fraunhofer AICOS started to develop two Competence Centres in order to build interdisciplinary teams working on: Fall and Activity Monitoring FCC; Information and Communication Technologies for Development ICT4DCC. In 2015 we revised the activity focus to follow the next generation goals and developed the project Deus ex Machina DeM: 6 Portuguese research partners involved, all evaluated as excellent or very good : CINTESIS and CPUP (UP); ALGORITMI and 2C2T (UM); CIDESD and CITAB (UTAD). DeM extends the scope of the FCC and ICT4DCC to contexts beyond human activities and, at the same time, provides mobile interfaces for IoT and Big Data solutions. 17

18 Strategic Research Agenda DeM: EITCC and C3 Eyes of Internet of Things Competence Centre EITCC Focuses on the development of an infrastructure to sense environments in multiple dimensions, fusing of sources, and to provide a holistic understanding of the user and its environment. Companion Competence Centre C3 Companions are specialized frontends of big machines (IoT / Big Data solutions) that serve human users in getting things done. Focuses on the creation of real working prototypes built on top of information provided by the fused data originating from the technology developed in the EITCC. 18
