About the Project

Adult education on digital, health and data literacy for citizen empowerment

TRIO is an Erasmus+ project (March 2022 - May 2025) that aims to empower citizens of different ages through informal education in the areas of health, digital and data literacy. The TRIO project aims to develop a combined training program to improve health, digital and data literacy for citizens of three different age groups (18-35; 36-50; 51+), promoting adult education through the development of digital readiness, resilience and capacity building. Over two years, TRIO will develop a modular approach with a manual, a curriculum and a complete toolkit for adult educators, designing them in co-production with relevant target groups and stakeholders. The proposed educational approach will be supported by a digital learning platform that ensures adaptation to the changing needs of users, technology and context. TRIO will also develop a Green Paper to present to policymakers and relevant European initiatives. INESC TEC (Portugal) is the project coordinator and the consortium includes 5 other partners from 5 countries: SHINE 2Europe (Portugal), AFEdemy (Netherlands), ISIS Institut für Soziale Infrastruktur (Germany), CETEM (Spain) and BOKtech (Romania). TRIO also includes several additional organizations as associated partners, ensuring that it will reach different citizens and groups in the countries involved and beyond.

Human-Centered Computing and Information Science

The Centre for Human-Centered Computing and Information Science (HumanISE) brings together engineers, scientists, and designers with expertise in Human-Centred Computing (HCC), Computer Science (CS), and Information Science (IS). Interdisciplinarity, one of the Centre’s defining features, fosters the development of software systems, methods, and tools designed to empower individuals and their communities. The excellence and impact of HumanISE’s research, innovation, and consultancy activities allow addressing increasingly complex, volatile, heterogeneous, ambiguous, and uncertain challenges, while ensuring compliance with legal, ethical, and organisational standards and frameworks. Value transfer is achieved through close collaboration with academia and industry partners. HumanISE’s core research areas include Human-Computer Interaction; Computer Graphics and Interactive Digital Media; Information Management and Information Systems; Software Engineering; and Large-Scale and Special-Purpose Computing Systems, Languages, and Tools; as well as Computing for Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems. HumanISE also explores innovation domains like Earth, Ocean and Space Sciences; Personalised Health Research; Geospatial Information Systems Engineering; and Applied Information Systems and Computing.
