The FCCN Conference is approaching, and we're sharing testimonials from our community about the importance of this gathering. Find out what the conference participants think about this annual gathering hosted by the FCCN Unit.
António Luís Lopes, Head of the information systems development team at ISCTE-Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, tells us what the Conferences are like for him and what his expectations are for the 2023 edition.
“What do the FCCN Conferences mean to me?”
It is this space of networking, which allows me to interact with experts, researchers and other professionals in this field, which helps me stay informed about best practices and which can contribute to the generation of partnerships and the development of innovative projects that in turn contribute to improving the quality of teaching and research.
“Why are FCCN Conferences important?”
I consider the FCCN conferences one of the most important annual events for people like me, who work in the IT field in a Higher Education Institution.
Not only do the conferences provide access to up-to-date and relevant information about the technologies and services provided by FCCN, but they also provide the community with the opportunity to discuss and share experiences regarding their practices, challenges, and opportunities regarding the use of information and communication technologies.
“What are my expectations for the 2023 edition?”
About this year's journeys, in addition to hoping that they will be this space of networking and collaboration that I have already described, I hope that this time we will take the opportunity to introduce the topic of Artificial Intelligence and the impact it could have on this community, not only because it is a topic that is on the agenda given the advances that have been witnessed, but also because it is something that I have a special affection for as it is my area of research.
