.
The activities of ADETTI span the range of research and development in the framework of national and Europe
an-funded R&D programmes, with an active role in the transfer of research results into the Portuguese
and European Markets and in the support to the creation of "start-ups" of technological foundation.
In the national context, ADETTI is a research unit of the national programme of R&D funding, under the umbrella of the Science and Technology Foundation (FCT
) and, in the European arena, ADETTI has been participating in the various Framework Programmes that have been supporting the European Research space, since 1990, namely, RACE II, ESPRIT IV, ACTS, TEN-IBC, TELEMATICS, FP5 IST, FP5 Growth, FP6 IST as well as the INTERREG Regional framework programme.
As a landmark for the active role of ADETTI's participation in the European R&D Research support programmes, during the FP5 programme (1998–2002), the European ADETTI funding effort reached 3 million Euro
and was ranked the second Portuguese Academic R&D institution in the FP5 IST programme (after INESC Porto) and the third in the ranking of all the Portuguese institutions participating in that programme (after Portugal Telecom Inovação and INESC Porto).

Coordenador por parte da ADETTI e líder de pacote de trabalho na área de DRM. “The WCAM project will develop and validate a seamless networked audio-visual system aiming at convergence between video surveillance and multimedia distribution (broadcast, mobile and Internet), taking into account real time aspects as well as adaptive quality of service and security. The project will use and improve state of the art technologies in each of the involved systems, combining, adapting and/or enhancing them when necessary. The following elements will be used in the WCAM system:
Adaptive encoding techniques allowing the inclusion of scene analysis in the optimisation of the video encoding as well as generating rich information.
State of the art visual encoding schemes, H.264 and MotionJPEG 2000
Internetworking and adaptive Quality of service features
Security, both on the network and the content level
Multimedia storage and distribution”
