Has an exclusive space of more than 800 m2 where the laboratories and other specific GECAD offices are installed.
GECAD is involved in 2 main areas: Intelligent Systems and Power Energy Systems. GECAD is known worldwide in its areas of research, leading some research domains. It is coordinated by Prof. Maria Goreti Carvalho Marreiros, and recognized by FCT (Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation). With 50 researchers involved in GECAD, 20 with PhD degree. It is the largest R&D unit from the Polytechnic sub-system of Portugal.
GECAD was involved in more than 80 R&D projects (more than 20 on-going projects now) with external funding. We are one of the Portuguese R&D units with more success at this level.
GECAD has a tremendous success in publications in important scientific journals, many special issues of these journals are edited by GECAD researchers. Understanding its responsibility for the Society development, GECAD has decided to adopt a new slogan: “Intelligence for a Sustainable, Safe, and Inclusive World”. For this reason, the most recent GECAD projects are applied to areas like Energy, Transportation, Environment, Economy, Inclusion, Critical Infrastructures, Security, Information Access and new ways of Socialization.
GECAD envisages accomplishing its mission by the structuring, organization and development of pos-graduation works, R&D projects, dissemination, debate, and diffusion of knowledge. These activities will have national and international impact, with special emphasis to the scientific community, enterprises, organizations, and persons involved in the real world practices.
The Research Group on Intelligent Engineering and Computing for Advanced Innovation and Development (GECAD) is a research unit settled in the Institute of Engineering – Polytechnic of Porto having as mission the promotion and development of scientific research in the Knowledge and Decision Sciences domains, having Information Technologies as support.
