FCT IAedu
IAedu is the artificial intelligence platform developed by FCCN (the scientific computing unit of FCT) to support the higher education and research community in Portugal.
It is part of the University of Lisbon strategy for the responsible adoption of artificial intelligence solutions in teaching, research and management (alongside Google Gemini, NotebookLM and Microsoft Copilot Chat — see all AI services). Access uses federated authentication (RCTSaai) with your ULisboa account credentials, ensuring a secure, national environment adapted to academic needs. Available to the whole university community — students, faculty, researchers and staff.
