Activity
The Information Technology and Computer Infrastructure Centre develops research, technological development, and Innovation (R&DI) activities in information systems and technologies applied to Civil Engineering. This activity is developed by an experienced and multidisciplinary team, with a strong background in computer engineering and computer science. It is funded through national and international research programs, with an emphasis on the European Commission and the FCT.
NTIII promotes:
- the integration and transfer of knowledge, methods and technology developed at LNEC and in partnership with external entities, through web applications and dedicated information systems;
- the development and application of innovative technology-based products at LNEC focused on the needs of its partners and customers.
In terms of IT infrastructures, the following stand out
- Support users through an automated Helpdesk service;
- Propose and implement procedures and policies for the use of IT and security resources;
- Management of users' computer equipment, servers under their control, printing, telephone and network communications equipment, and their renewal
