The IAedu

Dedicated to the scientific and educational community, with the purpose of establishing a vital bridge between research, academic teaching, and harnessing the potential of generative artificial intelligence models in the market, iaedu emerges.

Framing

FCT's Digital Service for Education and Science

IAedu aims to be FCT's digital service, developed by FCCN, which seeks to democratize access to Artificial Intelligence.

This platform provides centralized and simplified access to large-scale language models (LLM), saving time and resources. It provides multiple Artificial Intelligence models in a single portal, accessible for free through individual federated authentication.

It aims to democratize access for higher education students and researchers to emerging technologies, to promote equity and prevent inequalities in the use of resources that can transform learning and drive innovation.

Creating synergies and economies of scale through centralized procurement and provision is also our goal, while ensuring the promotion of efficiency through shared knowledge and collaborative learning.

Thus, the IAedu pilot project is born which complements a set of more than 25 digital services from FCT, developed by FCCN, that drive Technology and promote Knowledge in Portugal.

Entities interested in joining this pilot project should fill out membership form.

Objective

Democratizing access to artificial intelligence

We believe that access to various large-scale language models should be democratized in order to empower researchers, educators, and students with the necessary tools to optimize their productivity.

Why IAedu?

Advantages for students, teachers, and researchers

Centralized and simplified access to Artificial Intelligence (AI) models

Availability of multiple freely accessible AI models

Single and federated authentication

For whom

Academic and scientific community

IAedu is developed so that the academic and research community can benefit from artificial intelligence in their daily lives. Entities that are part of the FCCN Network, with federated authentication, will have access to the tool.
