FCT's digital service for education and science
IAedu is intended to be FCT's digital service, developed by FCCN, which aims to democratize access to Artificial Intelligence.
This platform provides centralized and simplified access to large-scale language models (LLM), saving time and resources. It makes the Pro version of multiple Artificial Intelligence models available for free on a single portal, through individual federated authentication.
It aims to democratize access - for higher education students and researchers - to emerging technologies, to promote equity and avoid inequalities in the use of resources that can transform learning and drive innovation.
Our goal is also to create synergies and economies of scale through centralized contracting and provision, while ensuring efficiency through knowledge sharing and joint learning.
The IAedu pilot project was thus born, adding to a set of more than 25 FCT digital services, developed by the FCCN, which boost technology and promote knowledge in Portugal.
