4. Projects
News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
AROMA – http://www.aroma-ist.upc.edu
António Serrador has edited Deliverable D13, “Simulation tools: final version capabilities and features”, which has been sent in within the deadline.
monIT – http://www.lx.it.pt/monit
The project team performed measurements in several schools and hospitals in the regions of Coimbra and Aveiro. An information action was also performed in the Ciência 2007 exhibition held in Pavilhão do Conhecimento, on Apr. 14th. monIT has also contributed to the JEEC 2007 exposition organised by the Electrical Engineering students at IST.
