EuroLifeNet Program:
Invited by the Institute of Environment and Sustainability of the Joint Research Centre (IES-JRC) of the European Commission, CITIDEP presented at the APHEIS meeting on 26 May 2005, Ispra, Italy, a proposal for a new European Union Program on Environment - Health - Education - Citizenship, the EuroLifeNet.
A first pilot EuroLifeNet project was completed with success during 2006 and 2007. Partners are now consolidating the experience and preparing new projects (research and operational). More information is available on-line. Here are some highlights:
EuroLifeNet measure campaigns of personal exposure to PM 2.5 (Particulate Matter) were completed in Portugal and Italy in April 2007. Participated 665 students and 51 teachers from 9 highschools, as well 11 researchers and 5 experts in both countries, from 4 Universities and 3 Research Centers, including CITIDEP.
 Took place in Lisbon, on the 1 and 2 June 2007, the II Internacional EuroLifeNet Meeting, with a press conference. Italian results were presented at a Milan press conference on the 8th May 2007
The Secretaries of State for Environment and for Education, Portugal, reafirmed in 2007 their support to the EuroLifeNet Program on letters addressed to CITIDEP President and to IES-JRC Director.
EuroLifeNet was featured on Portuguese and Italian TV and radio, and on Portuguese, Italian, UK and USA press. TV programs included interviews with EuroLifeNet Director, Pedro Ferraz de Abreu.
UNESCO National Commission short-listed EuroLifeNet in its best practices report, and invited the President of CITIDEP, Prof. Pedro Ferraz de Abreu, to presented EuroLifeNet at the UNESCO International Conference, 14 December 2006.
More information and details are available on-line: [slides] [EuroLifeNet site] [mirror site].
Project PEOPLE:
Citizens help to evaluate air pollution. Promoted by the European Commission, the project PEOPLE - "Population Exposure to Air Pollutants in Europe" invited citizens to participate measuring personal levels of exposure to benzene, in all European capitals. Lisbon and Brussells were the first, on the 22 October 2002.
CITIDEP was one of the 7 partners of PEOPLE, and organized the PEOPLE-Citizenship, including sessions with hundreds of students and teachers in Lisbon and Viana do Castelo (Portugal), linked through videoconference, and live Internet video broadcast. It gave CITIDEP a unique experience enabling the EuroLifeNet Program.
Lisbon and Brussels results were presented at a press conference, 17 July 2003. European Union Commissioner Philippe Busquin referred to CITIDEP project "PEOPLE-Citizenship" in its July 2003 speech. Results from benzene pollution measurements in Europe were published by the IES/JRC, on September 2005. CITIDEP is one of the co-authors of the PEOPLE final report.

IMS Project:
The objective of the "Intelligent Multimedia System Project" (IMS) is to develop, prototype and test modern information technologies supporting public and technical consultation for decision-making.
A first research project (1995-1999) focused on Environmental Impact Assessment, using the case of the proposed solid urban waste incinerator for S. João da Talha. This project was part of Pedro Ferraz de Abreu's PhD research at MIT, USA, and supported by the Portuguese Ministry of Environment (DGA), the Environmental Dept of FCT- UNL and CITIDEP. A large team of researchers was engaged in the experiment.
Another project using IMS model and approach is the WCD/IMS Sabor/Coa,, summarized below.
Currently, CITIDEP is working on a new pilot version of the IMS, applied to support public participation in the European Parliament elections, in cooperation with LabTec CS/ISCSP (Laboratory of Technology for Social Sciences at the Institute of Political and Social Sciences of the Technical University of Lisbon).
[IMS site] [LabTec CS/ISCSP]
WCD/IMS Sabor/Coa:
This research/intervention project was launched in January 2003. The goal is to apply the methodology from both the "World Commission on Dams" (WCD) and the "Intelligent Multimedia System Project" (IMS, CITIDEP), in support to the decision-making process concerning the proposed construction of dams on the Sabor and/or Coa rivers, in Portugal.
Currently, CITIDEP is trying to obtain support to complement an award from the Global Greengrants Fund, as well commitment from all stakeholders to a consensual process.

Citizenship Kit:
Since its creation in 1996, CITIDEP set in motion project its Citizenship and IT Program; and in particular built the concept of a "Citizenship Kit", that provided the framework for many related activities.

e-Planning:
CITIDEP promoted the cooperation between MIT (DUSP - Dept of Urban Studies and Planning) and 5 Universities in Portugal (U.L, U.T.L., U.N.L, U.A., U.C.) since 2003, under a common research agenda on e-Planning (technology uses and impact on infrastructures, government, governance, citizenship, cities and land use planning). This led in 2006 to an informal e-Planning Consortium. More information at its site www.e-Planning.org. Here are some highlights:
New Joint PhD on e-Planning, offered by 4 Universities in Portugal (U.L., U.T.L., U.N.L., U.A.), in cooperation with MIT (DUSP). Candidates may apply for 2009/2010.
Took place in Lisbon, 27 March 2008, the I International e-Planning Colloquium, at the ISCSP Auditorium (Universidade Ténica de Lisboa), with researchers from MIT-USA, DIT-Ireland and 5 Universities from Portugal. [e-Planning web site] [e-Planning Colloquium]
