We have now entered the 7th edition of the Fraunhofer Portugal Challenge, an initiative from Fraunhofer AICOS, whose main objective is to reward the scientific investigation with “practical utility” in Portuguese Universities.
To apply for the Fraunhofer Portugal Challenge, please read the Terms and Conditions and submit your idea by using the application template (mandatory) and filling in the Online Registration Form, until the 1st of August 2016.
Objective
The Fraunhofer Portugal Challenge is an idea contest promoted by Fraunhofer AICOS with the objective of motivating and rewarding research of practical utility, through the attribution of a scientific prize to MSc/PhD Students and Researchers from Portuguese Universities in the areas of ICT, Multimedia and other related Sciences.
The Challenge consists in awarding the best ideas based on graduation theses that were developed having ‘Research of Practical Utility’ in mind. By this we mean ideas based on theses concepts that clearly demonstrate a concern with the direct applicability of its results in Industry.
Ideas
The concepts submitted to contest (Ideas) must be based on the work of an MSc or PhD thesis/work developed by the Participant, resulting in an academic degree from a Portuguese University.
The ideas must be based on theses concluded and graded in the academic year of 2014/2015, that were not submitted in previous editions of the Challenge, or that are concluded and will be graded in the academic year of 2015/2016.
The submitted ideas should reflect and comment their potential impact on the scientific areas currently being developed by Fraunhofer AICOS, namely:

The submitted ideas should reflect and comment their potential impact on the scientific areas currently being developed by Fraunhofer AICOS, namely:
- Human Computer Interaction - adapting interaction to specific user needs (user & social experience, mobile & future devices, evaluation & usability)
- Information Processing - from raw data to meaningful information (data retrieval, context awareness, multimodal information fusion)
- Autonomic Computing - smarter devices, less configuration and maintenance (remote & self-management, configuration and control)
