Innovation projects aimed at promoting improvements in access to information and communication technologies, to provide better services to science and technology.
We have a responsibility to look at the latest technologies and understand their usefulness to the scientific and academic community.
How can we associate Blockchain to scientific publication? Use Artificial intelligence in content validation? Create Augmented Reality for knowledge sharing? These are some of our challenges.
If your entity is part of the academic or scientific community and is not yet connected to our services, see how to join the RCTS network.
