The DeustoTech-Computing unit houses S3Lab, which is part of DeustoTech-Deusto Institute of Technology in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Deusto.
The aim of DeustoTech-Computing is to use artificial intelligence as a mainstay for the improvement of different environments. In this way, this knowledge has been applied in a wide range of areas such as security, smelting processes or proteomics.
Special mention should be made of its contribution to the security field throughout these years, collaborating with leading companies in the sector, and obtaining recognition for the research work carried out by the scientific community.

Our Features
For 15 years, Efficient Innovation contributed to the preparation and implementation of European and national RTD collaborative projects involving major industrial stakeholders concerned with production cost optimisation.
This includes:
• A proven methodology adaptable to specific and complex RTD project helping industrial reconciling their cost objectives and their needs
• A two-stage cost-efficiency methodology using on one hand the diversity control diagnostic and on the other hand the product optimisation process.
• Seeking new solutions will be considered after a depth and strong dual analysis in the first phase:
- The functional analysis
- The value analysis
• Examining and study the appropriate optimised solutions through creativity workshops, evaluation and selection of concepts, risks concepts analysis during the second phase.

The National Research Council (CNR) is the greatest research public body of Italy; its duty is to carry out, promote, spread, transfer and improve research activities in the main sectors of knowledge growth and of its applications for the scientific, technological, economic and social development of the Country.
CNR is distributed all over Italy through a network of institutes aiming at promoting a wide diffusion of its competences throughout the national territory and at facilitating contacts and cooperation with local firms and organizations. CNR has more than 8200 employees of whom more than 4 thousand researchers active in almost 100 Institutes, working in the main fields of scientific and humanistic research. In addition to these ones there are more than 3000 junior scientists completing their training at CNR. This patrimony of human resources, ideas and knowledge makes CNR, in terms of publications, one of the major contributors to Italian scientific production, with a respected position in the international context.
The Institute for Archaeological and Monumental Heritage IBAM- CNR is a multidisciplinary research institute with highly expertise in the specialized skills in the fields of knowledge, documentation, diagnosis, preservation, value enhancement, management, enjoyment and communication of the archaeological and monumental heritage. These skills are expressed through the Institute's multidisciplinary team that includes archaeologists, historians, architects, geologists, engineers, chemists, physicists and ICT specialists. IBAM expresses its expertise through the development, testing and application of methodological investigations with activities related to the territory landscape in Italy (center, south and Sicily) and in Turkey, Crete, Spain, Iraq, Peru, etc. and Albania and elsewhere.
Within the macro areas major themes "Settlements and territory", "The artifact as source for material culture" and, finally, "Diagnostic for the knowledge, preservation and enjoyment of cultural heritage", the Institute has set up research contracts projects on which was conveyed draw together the activities of its researchers.
The research is focused on: Prehistoric, Classical, Medieval and Industrial Archaeology; Landscape Archaeology, Ancient Topography; Geophysics; Geology; Virtual Archaeology and Restoration; Satellite and Aerial Remote Sensing; Archaeometry; Chemistry; Information Technologies and GIS.
The research activities are focused on:
· Methodologies for the analysis of settlements, landscape and environment and transformations of landscapes in ancient and Medieval times;
· Multidisciplinary studies in archeology, in a Mediterranean perspective, with particular reference to southern Italy and Sicily;
· Methodologies aimed at understanding, diagnosis and intervention for the preservation, restoration and communication of archaeological heritage (sites and monuments)
· Innovative methodologies for the knowledge of ancient landscape.

CRIA is an inter-institutional Centre devoted to advanced training and research in social and cultural anthropology, founded in 2007, and based on pre-existing long-term and productive cooperative relationships between scholars from four top Portuguese universities (ISCTE-IUL, FCSH-UNL, FCT-UC, UM). In three years, CRIA has become a national platform in anthropology which promotes new research opportunities and seeks to lead innovative scientific research in Portuguese anthropology, thus promoting its internationalization.
The administrative structure of CRIA is divided into four institutional subunits, each one autonomous to develop its own activities as well as to promote joint activities with other research and/or teaching units. CRIA’s scientific resources are focused on research groups linked to four thematic lines: 1) Social Identities and Differentiation; 2. Culture: Practices, Politics, Displays; 3. Migrations, Ethnicity, Citizenship; 4 Power, Knowledge, Mediations.
The scientific and executive boards promote researchers’ mobility between institutional units in order to facilitate cooperation and team work within and across thematic lines.
Research at CRIA is predominantly fundamental, and its outcomes are diffused through academic journals, books and conferences. Nonetheless, collaboration with policy makers and public institutions has also been stimulated thus contributing to a greater importance of anthropological knowledge and expertise in Portuguese society.
