Mauro Rosa

MAURO ROSA (USE) - November 2009

“During the month of October, Mauro Rosa had the operational responsibility for stage II of the Reservas Project (conclusion of the prototype delivery), having also organised training activities for its users in Madrid. In that same period, Mauro Rosa has carried out work that was decisive for the conclusion of the studies and final report of the JRC-IE project, requested by the European Commission.

All this resulted in an incredible amount of quality work, with Mauro showing an outstanding dedication, not only during workdays, but also on weekends.” (Manuel Matos, coordinator of USE)

Augustin Olivier

AUGUSTIN OLIVIER (ADVISER TO THE BOARD OF INESC PORTO AND COORDINATOR of UTM) - December 2009

“Doctor Olivier, as an adviser to the Board of INESC Porto for the promotion of new businesses and technology transfer, had an exceptionally diligent and fruitful performance, showing an outstanding dedication,  opening new lines of collaboration with the industry, designing new projects and supporting their negotiation, in a wide variety of activities that include optoelectronics, photovoltaic systems, robotics and telecommunications, in diversified areas such as Energy and National Defence. Over the last month, this intense activity bore fruits in the form of highly important development contracts that were approved, as was the case of the surveillance robot". (José Manuel Mendonça, President of INESC Porto)

Aníbal Matos

ANÍBAL MATOS (ROBIS) - January 2010

"Aníbal Matos demonstrated an excellent time of response and efficiency in the preparation of several projects with Brazilian partners. This nomination is a result of his exceptional involvement in the project “Intelligent and Georeferenced System to Supervise Reservoirs with an Autonomous Vehicle”, which aims at the supervision of dams and power plant reservoirs. In just a short amount of days, Aníbal was capable of providing help in the preparation of a proposal, of going to Brazil and brilliantly defending the proposal with strategic partners, such as the Foundation for the Support and Development of Teaching, Research and Extension, the Federal University of Engineering of Itajubá and the  Federal University Juiz de Fora". (António Paulo Moreira, Coordinator of the Group of Robotics and Intelligent Systems - ROBIS)
