Building Codes Can Help to Save Environment </h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In an effort to decrease global energy expenditures, more countries are implementing and updating their building codes, for private and commercial constructions. This is the focus of the paper written by the dual degree Ph.D. student Nathaniel Gilbraith, from Instituto Superior Técnico of the Universidade de Lisboa (IST-UL) and CMU, with his advisor Inês Azevedo and with Paula Jaramillo, both researchers at CMU that was recently published in the prestigious journal Environmental Science & Technology. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Titled “Evaluating the Benefits of Commercial Building Energy Codes and Improving Federal Incentives for Code Adoption”, the paper explores the social and private benefits of implementing the ASHRAE 90.1 – 2010 in the United States, which is viewed as a stricter commercial building comparatively to previous legislation. </div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Albert Linde, Mariana Oliveira, Tiago Cardoso, and Salomé Azevedo, were the first young Portuguese researchers of the Undergraduate Internships Program, offered by the CMU Portugal Program, that went to CMU to experience an entirely different culture and to participate in state-of-the-art projects. After their return, they see it as a valuable cultural and social experience that they will remember forever.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
João Claro, national director of the CMU Portugal, is positively impressed with the support and receptiveness of academia in Portugal and at CMU to this Program, as well as with the strong research experiences these young researchers are bringing to Portugal. "The students typically stay at CMU between eight to twelve weeks and are hosted by a faculty member that guides their immersion according to the work plan submitted during the application process," João Claro explains. "I had the opportunity to read the reports of these four students, and to talk with some of them, and their feedback is enriching," says João Claro adding that "we should look at UIP as a seed for collaboration that can flourish according to the willingness and research interests of all parties involved."</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: justify;">
The Portuguese Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) recently announced the results of the first call for <a href="http://www.cmuportugal.org/tiercontent.aspx?id=5239" style="color: #990000;" title="Entrepreneurial Research Initiatives">Entrepreneurial Research Initiatives</a> (ERIs) of the Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program. Six proposals were approved for funding, among 21 submitted for evaluation, with a total budget of approximately 6 million Euros for the next four years.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: justify;">
With its renewal, the Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program is emphasizing advanced education and research that can lead to significant entrepreneurial impact. The mission of the six ERIs is to stimulate and promote Portuguese innovation in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), by acting as international innovation engines. Embedded in global knowledge and business networks, and under the joint leadership of researchers from Portuguese institutions and Carnegie Mellon University, these initiatives will train creative innovators, generate new ideas, and translate them into products, processes and services. </div>

We are organizing a new series of meetings in Portuguese universities to present and discuss the goals, structure, and financial support for the ERIs. As you know, the CMU Portugal Call for Entrepreneurial Research Initiatives will remain open until 5pm (GMT), of October 16, 2013. Funded by the Portuguese Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), the Entrepreneurial Research Initiatives (ERIs) are projects in science, engineering, management and policy that link both fundamental and applied research to technological innovation and economic development, explicitly focusing on important real world problems entailing significant scientific challenges. Approximately € 6 million, half in Portugal and half at CMU, are expected to be available to support four to seven ERIs, for up to 4 years. More information about the Entrepreneurial Research Initiatives (ERIs) is available at link.<br />
<br />
The target audience for these meetings includes faculty members, researchers, doctoral students, senior staff of innovation and entrepreneurship support organizations, business executives, and startup managers. The director of the CMU Portugal Program will present the concept and goals for the ERIs, followed by a Q&A moment.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are pleased to announce that the CMU Portugal Call for Entrepreneurial Research Initiatives (ERIs), funded by the Portuguese Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), is now open. Approximately € 6 million, half in Portugal and half at CMU, are expected to be available to support four to seven ERIs, for up to 4 years. The Call will remain open from July 17 to 5pm (GMT), of October 16, 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <b>Phase II of the Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program</b> emphasizes <b>advanced education</b> and <b>research</b> that can lead to significant entrepreneurial impact. The activities of the program are for the most part configured in Entrepreneurial Research Initiatives (ERIs). ERIs are <b>projects in science, engineering, management and policy</b> that <b>link both fundamental and applied research to technological innovation and economic development</b>. This bridging is pursued by explicitly focusing on important real world problems entailing significant scientific challenges. ERIs consist in integrated activities in research, innovation, advanced education and training of human resources, with industry collaboration and emphasis on the commercialization of technology for real world impact.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
ERIs seek to <b>stimulate and promote Portuguese innovation in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)</b> as such, and as enabling technologies in nearly all application sectors, in a global context where markets, industries, resources, and talent are internationally distributed. These projects seek to advance technology and engineering, develop talented innovators in Portugal and increase the competitiveness of the Portuguese ICT industry in today’s globalized economy. Ultimately, they seek to foster a culture that integrates discovery, innovation and internationalization by acting as international engines of innovation and growth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An<b> international innovation engine</b> is in fact a symbiotic relationship between researchers and industry partners, embedded in international knowledge and business networks, to create new ideas and to translate them into products, processes and services.</div>
