INESC TEC Collaborators

In a particularly challenging month for everybody, due to the shock waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country and in the world, our choice for The Incredibles could not be easier: the INESC TEC community.

In moments of great concern and many doubts about a disease that is spreading in a frightening way, the INESC TEC community knew how to internalise behaviours and adopt guidelines, and after a week from the identification of the first case in Portugal, the vast majority of employees was already operating on a telecommuting system.

This transition was fast, organised according to risk groups and with clear procedures that all collaborators followed in an exemplary way!

We ought to emphasise the role of the technical support services, which were able to set up an effective support network for this remote operation, ensuring the necessary hardware and software, logistics and changes in the essential processes, making it all possible in less than two weeks! In addition to all this outstanding effort, several researchers from INESC TEC also decided to join a set of community initiatives to develop technology and services for those who currently need them the most: the National Health Service.

From personal protective material made with acetates and 3D printed supports – and the implementation of management and planning tools for their production and delivery – to the presentation of the “Diaries of a Pandemic” that aim to study the behaviour of Portuguese people during the pandemic, the mobilisation of the community has been truly incredible. For all this and to all of you: thank you, very much!

You are INCREDIBLE!

– INESC TEC Board of Directors
