The social activities will also be aimed at extra-regional territories with the aim of making known and disseminating the speleological activity of the Mediterranean countries, taking into consideration Speleology in all its different cultural and technical expressions, which have manifested themselves over time in a large territory. and complex as the Mediterranean basin is. The Association also intends to avail itself of the collaboration of professionals and researchers from the various disciplines involved, without neglecting the interdisciplinary nature that speleological research requires, such as: archeology and paleontology for the wealth of finds that the caves preserve and guard, the anthropology and the history of art for the historical and artistic interest expressed by the artificial cavities, as well as by the rock settlements that so characterize and unite Mediterranean cultures, underwater speleology for the presence of coastal caves that can only be explored thanks to this complex discipline, biospeleology for the richness and environmental importance of underground biodiversity and last, but not least, the geology and study of the territory for the protection of karst and karst aquifers which are the precious water reserves of our territories, too often irresponsibly vandalized by disorderly anthropization. TETIDE APS wants to promote Mediterranean Speleologies, in which speleological exploration and dissemination become communities of study, of intent, of cultures and of approaches unique to the world.

INESC-ID, “Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores: Investigação e Desenvolvimento em Lisboa” is a Research and Development and Innovation Organization (R&D+i) in the fields of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering. INESC-ID is a private not for-profit institution, registered in 1999, officially declared of public interest, owned by Instituto Superior Técnico (51%) and INESC – Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores (49%). From the reorganization of INESC, five R&D institutes were created: INESC-ID, INOV, INESC MN, INESC TEC and INESC Coimbra. INESC-ID’s research impact is focused on four Thematic Lines to which it makes the more relevant contributions: digital transformation and citizenship, life and health technology, energy transition, and security and privacy. These four Thematic Lines promote synergies among the eleven scientific areas in order to address today’s societal challenges: Artificial Intelligence for People & Society;  Automated Reasoning & Software Reliability; Intelligent Networks and Communication Systems; Distributed, Parallel and Secure Systems;  Graphics and Interaction; Green Energy & Smart converters; High Performance Computing Architectures and Systems; Human Language Technologies; Information & Decision Support Systems; Nano-Electronic Circuits & Systems; and Sustainable Power Systems. INESC-ID promotes cooperation between academia and industry by addressing research on daily life issues, such as healthcare, space, mobility, human language technologies, agri-food, industry , and smart grids. This high level of knowledge transfer is achieved through both competitive research projects and direct contracted research. Therefore, public and private entities have access to a pool of knowledge, resources and services provided through the unique competencies available at the institution. As an Associate Laboratory since 2004, INESC-ID has an additional responsibility to assist public and private entities facing scientific, health, environmental, cultural, social, economic or political challenges, and to be an active participant in the process of defining the required policies, public or otherwise, to address those challenges. INESC-ID was evaluated in 2018, like all other Portuguese R&D units, by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT). FCT awarded the grade of Excellent, the highest, not only in the overall classification but also in each and every one of the items under evaluation: quality, merit, relevance and internationalization of the R&D activities; merit of the team; appropriateness of objectives, strategy, plan of activities and organization. INESC-ID was identified by FCT as one of the top 10 Portuguese research units attracting projects and funding from the European Union. INESC-ID has been very active in participating in R&D+i projects within European Union research projects. This participation has covered all relevant programmes and instruments in the areas within which INESC-ID has expertise, from the more fundamental research to the applied one and encompassing training and strategic initiatives.
