THE FCCN, FCT digital services, provides a set of digital services designed to bridge the gap and support collaboration between students, teachers and researchers.  

With a community-focused approach, FCCN doesn't just provide technology; it supports the community in its use. Learn more about our services in the area of Collaboration.  

Always close by, wherever you are 

Colibri is the video conferencing service of national academic and research community. Designed for holding online meetings and sessions with multiple participants and connected to the platform Zoom, provides a wide range of features, allowing the sharing of audio, video, text and images and also providing the possibility of recording the session and making it available later on Educast.  
 
Over the past few years, its use has increased significantly, reaching more than 1 million sessions in 2024 and webinars, more than 300 million minutes and a total of 6,660,025 participants, according to data made available by the service.  

Your event within everyone's reach 

If you want your event to impact a larger audience, make this possible through VideoCast, a platform with a high level of availability and connectivity, which allows the entire community to broadcast events (seminars, internal TV channels, among others), in real time, to any part of the world and to thousands of users simultaneously
 
The transmission of these events can be done completely autonomously, with the creation of channels and the customization of the layout of each event – description and branding and with full integration into social networks and chat live. VideoCast also becomes an invitation to interaction and dialogue, allowing you to measure the impact of the event in real time, with detailed access statistics.  

Transform ideas into high-level audiovisual production 

And when creativity needs a professional touch? FCCN Studio is the ideal space to bring ideas and projects to life, transforming them into multimedia content – be they photography, audio or video – and, consequently, into educational and scientific materials with potential. 

This location also provides technical support and specialized consulting. Equipped with 4K cameras, a teleprompter, virtual set design, and more, the FCCN Studio makes content creation much more accessible.  

You can learn more about this structure by reading the interview with your manager, João Santos. Also learn about the testimonies of those who use this space, through conversation with Rita Tomé Rocha, from the podcast Ecosystem Talks.

Big files, no hassle 

If the challenge is sharing large volumes of data, the FileSender is the solution that allows you to do so in a safe and efficient way. This tool was developed to meet the specific requirements of the academic and scientific community and allow the sending – within 30 days – of files up to 100 GB to a maximum of 100 recipients. 
 
In 2024, it will celebrate its 15th anniversary. Learn more its evolution.
