Inteligent Systems, Science and Engineering (IS2E)

Laboratório de Sistemas Inteligentes, Ciência e Engenharia

Universidade dos Açores

The IS2E centre's mission is to develop fundamental and applied research in the areas of Computer Science, Engineering, Physics and Mathematics, in support of sustainable development goals and seeking intelligent technological solutions in the strategic interest of the insular region.

IS2E has a privileged connection to the Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)  and Computational Science Laboratory (LIACC) at the University of Porto.

The main areas tackled by the research group are A.I. and Machine Learning, Complexity and Multi-agent Systems and the area of mobility and energy engineering.  Transversal areas to physics and mathematics are also addressed, such as modelling and simulation, and computational applications.

The University of the Azores is the only public university in the Autonomous Region of the Azores and was established in order to advance sustainable development and higher education in the Azores. It has campuses in Ponta Delgada (S. Miguel island), Angra do Heroísmo (Terceira island) and Horta (Faial island), numbers approximately 279 permanent teaching and researching staff, 200 administration and lab technicians and 2.738 students, including undergraduate, MSc and PhD.
