Also noteworthy was the co-organization of the II Congress of the National Network of Cultural Studies (RNEC), which brought together academics, researchers, and research centers, as well as Portuguese academic institutions dedicated to cultural studies\/culture (April).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the organization of ARTECH 2023 &#8211; 11th International Conference on Digital and Interactive Arts (conference and exhibition) under the theme &#8220;Digital Creation Processes&#8221; at the University of Algarve (November) is worth mentioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the Center supported the publication of articles and the participation of its researchers in scientific events. For example, &#8220;VI Congress Literacy, Media &amp; Citizenship&#8221; (April), &#8220;VII International Congress of Romance Studies&#8221; (May), &#8220;Digital Innovation: Spaces and Challenges for Higher Education&#8221; (May), &#8220;Linguistic Terminology and Grammatical Knowledge&#8221; (June), &#8220;V Congresso Nacional de Educa\u00e7\u00e3o para a Sa\u00fade&#8221; (June), &#8220;Avanca|Cinema 2023&#8221; (July), &#8220;KUI 2023: Conference Culture and Computer Science 2023&#8221; (September), &#8220;Digicom &#8211; 7th International Conference on Design and Digital Communication&#8221; (November).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, CIAC, in collaboration with Romanceiro.pt, promoted the publication &#8220;Una tomba emblematica per una morta incoronata. Nuevas disquisiciones sobre In\u00e9s de Castro en el Romancero&#8221;, from the Op\u00fasculos Collection, by Pere Ferr\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;ROTURA &#8211; Journal of Communication, Culture, and Arts&#8221;, in 2023, published three issues: &#8220;Digital Media-Art&#8221; (1st semester), &#8220;New Narratives and Media Literacy: Strategies and Experiences for Cybercitizenship&#8221; (special issue), and &#8220;Mediterranean Cinemas&#8221; (2nd semester). The first gathers research articles focused on creative, methodological, and communication aspects in the areas of computational and generative art, interactive installations and transmedia narratives, virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, and all areas where digital media are manipulated through computing, aimed at artistic creation. The special issue featured articles related to themes of cyberspace, new narratives, media literacy, habits, consumption, and skills of digital society, usage, discourse, ethics, and values transmitted in social networks. The last one focused on a critical reflection on cinema, as an expression of the history, culture, and heritage of the Mediterranean. It is worth noting the growth of the journal with the attribution of various indexations in 2023, including Latindex and Scopus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Digital Literacy and Inclusion Research Hub of the Polytechnic of Santar\u00e9m promoted some events in its field of activity. Additionally, it continued to participate in various national and international projects, including &#8220;AI2Learn &#8211; Artificial Intelligence to Learning&#8221;, the &#8220;Programa Operacional \u2013 Capital Humano&#8221;, co-financed by Portugal2020 and the European Social Fund, and the &#8220;Virtual Escape Room: Future Jobs Integration &#8211; Supporting Ukraine and Migrants&#8221;, financed by the Erasmus+ KA2 program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hub signed international cooperation protocols with the International Academic Network Association of Lusophony (RIAL), as well as with Higher Education Institutions (Constantin Br\u00e2ncu\u0219i University &#8211; Romania, Goce Delcev University &#8211; North Macedonia, and Latvian Academy of Culture &#8211; Latvia) and Research Centers (Institute for Quality of Life Research Center &#8211; Romania) to further contribute to the international impact of this center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Universidade Aberta Research Hub (CIAC-UAb), the organization of the KUI &#8211; Culture and Computer Science 2023 international conference (September) stands out, due to its particularly strong component of internationalization as well as institutional collaboration at the national level, since CIAC-UAb organized this conference in collaboration with the Berlin University of Applied Sciences (HTW Berlin) and the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon. Furthermore, the scientific production of the hub members at the level of indexed international publications (Scopus) was highlighted, both in scientific journals and in books and proceedings, while maintaining a high level of participation as scientific evaluators of international publications, participation in the editorial boards of international journals, membership in international and national scientific committees, and review of scientific articles in journals and conferences with scientific arbitration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, the Lisbon Theatre and Film School Research Hub continued to reinforce its lines of research and applied creation in the field of Scenic Performativities and Moving Image (working group in Theater and Cinema). The activities developed focused on three fundamental aspects characterizing the hub, namely the production of critical bibliography on topics that cross literature and dramaturgy, performing arts and moving image; creation and\/or dramaturgical assistance for theater shows and dynamization of laboratory in performing arts and\/or scenic creation (conception, direction, and\/or interpretation in theater\/music\/performance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Center sought, on one hand, to continue some projects already initiated in previous years with the central objective of developing applied research in the domains of arts (theater, literature, cinema, visual arts, digital arts) and communication, and on the other hand, to reinforce both the number of publications of its researchers and the synergies with elements of other hubs of CIAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, the strengthening of relations with local entities and the development of networks and partnerships continued. It is worth mentioning, for example, the support of CIAC in the curation\/programming of the Trem Gallery (Faro) and the partnership with MuseuZer0, the Municipal Museum of Faro, the Open Studios initiative, the BoCA &#8211; Biennial of Contemporary Arts, the Avanca Film Festival, the Rudolfo Quintas Studio, the Absonus Lab, and the Umano Theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, CIAC continued to favor artistic and scientific dissemination, developing projects, and inserting actions in the national and international fabric that promote the debate of ideas and the production of knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internationally, the &#8220;Ciclo de Semin\u00e1rios Invitro&#8221; (May and June) was one of the activities carried out in 2023 as part of the &#8220;Invitro&#8221; project. This is an initiative in the field of digital arts and transdisciplinary thinking and practices, which seeks to welcome, promote, and empower artists, researchers, and audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International partnerships continued to be nurtured, notably with the CIAC Talks initiative, which, through the Cultural Adventures project, established connections between Faro and Bangkok by recording a series of interviews with Thai and international artists associated with the School of Architecture and Design of the King Mongkut\u2019s University of Technology Thonburi (SoA+D). The interviews are available on our YouTube channel \u2013 CIACmedia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, within the scope of the Cultural Adventures project, an official visit of the Center&#8217;s coordinators to the King Mongkut&#8217;s University of Technology was held with the aim of consolidating and extending the collaboration between the institutions. During this visit, CIAC researchers presented their research and artistic practice experiences at the &#8220;Practice &amp; Research Seminar&#8221; (February).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth mentioning the commitment to expanding CIAC&#8217;s network internationally through the pedagogical and scientific visit of researchers from the Center at Hue University, Vietnam (January).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, CIAC remained connected to the European Language Council, an association of universities, language centers, and professionals in the field of languages that serves as a platform for connecting with European bodies and other associations\/alliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The participation of researchers in the Radicalisation Awareness Network (RAN) integrated CIAC into a network of work that resulted in the publication &#8220;Counterspeech \u2013 Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Countering Dangerous Speech.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the organization of international events, CIAC joined forces with the Artech International Association and held ARTECH 2023 \u2013 11th International Conference on Digital and Interactive Arts, which took place at the University of Algarve (November) under the theme &#8220;Digital Creation Processes.&#8221; As part of this international conference, CIAC was responsible for editing the conference proceedings, which were divided into two volumes (short and long papers). Later, a version of the proceedings book was published in the ACM Digital Library, thus giving more international visibility to the presented works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CIAC-UAb hub also partnered with the INKA Research Group of the University of Applied Sciences of Berlin (HTW) and the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon to promote KUI 2023 \u2013 XX International Conference on Culture and Computer Science (September).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Digital Literacy and Social Inclusion Hub, within the European project PREDICT: Jobs of the Future, promoted a Series of Webinars (March, April, May) which included the following sessions: &#8220;Cybersecurity,&#8221; &#8220;Code of Conduct,&#8221; &#8220;Evaluation as an improvement agent: didactic intervention tools,&#8221; and several workshops on the theme &#8220;ChatGPT: Interactions.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the established protocol with the Interdisciplinary Study Group: Humanities, Development (Federal University of Maranh\u00e3o, Brazil), the lecture &#8220;A M\u00edstica Feminina Medieval entre Portugal e o Brasil&#8221; (October) was organized at the University of Algarve. On this occasion, both the lecture and the collaboration protocol were presented at RUAfm \u2013 University Radio of Algarve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it is worth mentioning an enhancement of internationalization which resulted in the establishment of new partnerships and the integration of some researchers into international research networks. CIAC established a collaboration agreement for the creation of the &#8220;International Symposium of Information and Communication Research Laboratories,&#8221; along with other research centers, notably from Abdelmalek Essa\u00e2di University (Morocco), &#8220;Dun\u0103rea de Jos&#8221; University of Galati (Romania), and the American University of Cairo (Egypt), with the aim of creating a symposium of laboratories to promote the exchange of knowledge, collaboration, and innovation in the field of information, communication, and related disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Center continues to engage in other types of international projects, participating in the meeting of the RIAL Network \u2013 International Academic Network of Lisbon within the scope of the V Symposium on Economics and Management of the Lusophony (November), as well as in the MetaREDTIC meeting (September), associating with the European University Consortium of the Seas (SEA-EU) formed by nine European universities, aiming to strengthen the links between teaching, research, innovation, and knowledge transfer, funded by the European Commission (Erasmus +), and also collaborating on the project &#8220;iHERITAGE ICT Mediterranean platform for UNESCO cultural heritage,&#8221; which aims to improve and disseminate new technologies in cultural visits in Mediterranean areas, based on UNESCO World Heritage sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, CIAC was an academic partner of ICOAH 2023 &#8211; 10th International Conference on Arts and Humanities 2023, under the theme &#8220;Collaborative process, Cooperation, and Multiplicity,&#8221; the international conference IMPACT SCIENCE 2023 (October), and the IV Intercontinental Conference on Digital Transformation (December).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some events stand out, which had the participation of researchers from the Center and contributed to the international dissemination of CIAC: &#8220;HERITAGES: Past and Present Built and Social&#8221;; &#8220;XI Jornadas Did\u00e1cticas ELE Difusi\u00f3n&#8221; (March); &#8220;Animafest ScannerX 2023&#8221; (June); &#8220;EAI GOODTECHS 2023&#8221; and &#8220;EAI HEALTHYIoT 2023&#8221; (October); &#8220;ICCH 2023 \u2013 7th International Conference on Culture and History&#8221; (July); &#8220;14th Asian Conference on Arts &amp; Humanities&#8221;; &#8220;13th Congress of European Research in Mathematics Education&#8221;; &#8220;XXVI Encontro da Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos de Cinema e Audivisual&#8221; (November); &#8220;Artech 2023&#8221; (2023); &#8220;CISC\u201923 \u2013 International Colloquium on Communication Sciences&#8221; (November).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through hosting research visits (for researchers from Spain, Brazil, and Slovakia) and CIAC members&#8217; missions, partnerships and international networks continued to develop. An example is a visit to LAIS &#8211; Laboratory of Technological Innovation in Health (Brazil), which may result in a new collaboration partnership in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIAC also promoted the publication of the book &#8220;Popular Genres and Transnational Cinema in the Mediterranean Europe,&#8221; an analysis of popular cinema in Mediterranean Europe through a historical and transnational perspective; and the e-book &#8220;Elvis Presley and the Popular Culture of the Twentieth Century,&#8221; which aims to contribute to a reflection on the career of the American singer, whose cultural impact extends from the 1950s to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the year 2023, CIAC continued to actively participate in international publications (Springer), such as in the editions &#8220;Perspectives and Trends in Education and Technology,&#8221; &#8220;Perspectives on Design and Digital Communication IV,&#8221; and &#8220;International Handbook of Skill, Education, Learning, and Research Development in Tourism and Hospitality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-accordion-item advgb-accordion-item\" style=\"margin-bottom:15px\"><div class=\"advgb-accordion-header\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;border-style:solid;border-width:0px;border-color:#ffffff\"><span class=\"advgb-accordion-header-icon\"><svg fill=\"#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"none\" d=\"M0,0h24v24H0V0z\"><\/path><path d=\"M6,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S7.1,10,6,10z M18,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S19.1,10,18,10z M12,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S13.1,10,12,10z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><h2 class=\"advgb-accordion-header-title\" style=\"color:inherit\">2022<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"advgb-accordion-body\" style=\"border-style:solid !important;border-width:0px !important;border-color:#ffffff !important;border-top:none !important\">\n<p>In 2022, CIAC continued to focus its activity on research, practice, and training in the field of Arts and Communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIAC organized various scientific events in the field of Arts and Communication, examples of which are: the exhibitions \u201c\u201cA Imagem que Emerge\u201d (February), \u201cOs bra\u00e7os abertos formam \u00e2ngulos rectos\u201d (April), \u201c\u201c[In]tangibilidades Digitais\u201d\u201d (July) and \u201cCrime e Pesadelo: O Film-Noir no Cinema de Hollywood (1941-1957)\u201d (October); the conferences \u201cLiterature, Tourism and Waterscapes\u201d (April), \u201cContemporary Art and the Media after 9\/11\u201d (May) and \u201cshadows of film noir\u201d (October); the seminars \u201cMedia Arte e Document\u00e1rio cinematogr\u00e1fico: po\u00e9tica\u201d, \u201cFake News e Desinforma\u00e7\u00e3o: amea\u00e7as ao jornalismo e \u00e0 democracia\u201d (May) and \u201cGeografias de Saramago\u201d (November); the Colloquium \u201cLa fortune de Moli\u00e8re: r\u00e9pertoires, mythes et interpr\u00e9tations\u201d (November); the cycle of Visual Arts (March, April and May); and the Sciences of Communication Seminars (October, November and December).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another noteworthy event was the \u201dXVI CIAC Conference\u201d (February), which took place both in person and online and brought together national and international researchers to share and discuss methodologies and concepts. This year\u2019s edition was devoted to practice-based research in the fields of Arts and Communication; and to research produced\/hosted at the Center (in the field of communication sciences, film studies, and creation processes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIAC continued to promote the publication of works on the research results produced at the Center: \u201cCartographya\u201d, edited and translated by Maria Jos\u00e9 Marques, which brings together a bilingual collection of poems by Salvador Santos about the Algarve, grouped in the form of an itinerary\/literary route; \u201cA qualidade e a compet\u00eancia midi\u00e1tica na fic\u00e7\u00e3o seriada contempor\u00e2nea no Brasil e em Portugal\u201d, the fifth volume of the essay collection \u201cHumanitas\u201d, by Gabriela Borges co-authored with Daiana Sigiliano, Eut\u00e1lia Ramos, Lucas Vieira, J\u00falia Garcia, Vin\u00edcius Guida, Gustavo Furtuoso, Matheus Soares and Nayara Zanetti, a theoretical-methodological proposal, based on creative and reflective Praxis on the new forms of mediation of Audiovisual Communication; and \u201cLuso-Brazilian perspectives in Arts and communication Vol. 3\u2033, edited by Jorge Carrega, Denize Araujo and Ingrid Fechine, which brings together a set of reflections on artistic practices in cinema, Fine Arts, Theater, and the fusion of the arts with digital media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, CIAC supported the publication of papers and the participation of its researchers in scientific events.

DMAD retreat is one of their key activities and, in July, the event got back to the face-to-face format, at Convento do Esp\u00edrito Santo (Loul\u00e9), focused on the elements earth, water, and spirit. The program included conferences, masterclasses, workshops, a round table, a gathering and debate, and an exhibition. Another noteworthy event was the 1st Symposium on Digital Media-Art (November), which presented CIAC\u2019s research group on Digital Media-Art and research results of projects by CIAC-UAb hub; and promoted synergy and collaboration networks. In addition, the symposium also allowed DMAD students to present and discuss the initial\/intermediate results of their ongoing thesis research. The hub also takes part in the organization of international events, highlighting, this year, the International Conference \u201cARTeFACTo 2022\u201d (November), which took place in Macau and in online format. These conferences often provide a first opportunity for PhD students to take part in international events and\/or indexed publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also worth mentioning the projects in which CIAC-UAb hub was involved and are currently ongoing: \u201cErasmus+ IDEAS \u2013 Innovative Digital Education and Skills\u201d, \u201cErasmus+ 4ArtPreneur \u2013 Innovative thinking competencies for creative art entrepreneurship\u201d, \u201cErasmus+ ARDES \u2013 Short Learning Programme for ARt &amp; DEsign &amp; Sustainability with special focus on environment and climate change\u201d and \u201cNutrimovere\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIAC-IPL hub reaffirmed its lines of action in research and creation in the field of scenic Performativities and Moving Image. This year, their activities focused on three fundamental aspects: production of critical bibliography on topics that cross literature, Performing Arts and moving image; dramaturgical creation for theater shows (staged, translated and published texts); scenic creation (conception, direction and interpretation in theater\/music\/performance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, their commitment to strengthening relations with local entities and the development of networks and partnerships was maintained. It is worth mentioning, for example, the support of the Center in the curatorship\/programming of Galeria Trem (Faro) and the partnership relationship with MuseuZer0, the Municipal Museum of Faro, the Open Studios initiative, BoCA \u2013 Biennial of Contemporary Arts, the Avanca Film Festival, FICLA \u2013 International Film and Literature Festival of the Algarve, the \u201cInsulina Sai \u00e0 Rua\u201d Project, Studio Rudolfo Quintas, and Teatro Umano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIAC seeks to promote artistic and Scientific Dissemination, developing projects and introducing actions in the national and international framework that promote the debate of ideas and the development of knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cInvitro seminar cycle\u201c (June and July) was one of the activities carried out in 2022 within the framework of the \u201dInvitro\u201d project. This is an initiative in the field of digital arts and transdisciplinary thinking and practices, which seeks to welcome, promote and empower artists, researchers and audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International partnerships continued to be nurtured, namely through the ALMA-Antropofagia, Literatura, Modernismo e Audiovisual project, which results from the partnership between CIAC, the Discourse Studies Laboratory (Federal University of S\u00e3o Carlos, Brazil), the State University of Minas Gerais (Brazil) and the audiovisual hub of Zona da Mata (Brazil). In this project, writers, filmmakers, artists and academics from Brazil, Portugal, and Angola focused on the colonial process, the emergence of an indigenous voice in contemporary audiovisual and the impact of the Modernist experience in different territories. The program was designed to reflect on the contemporary meanings of Anthropophagy, in the format of a conferences cycle: : \u201cAntropofagias para al\u00e9m da brasilidade\u201d (March), \u201cEstive em Lisboa e lembrei de voc\u00ea\u201d (April), \u201cO Moderno em Ernesto de Sousa\u201d (May), \u201cOlhares contempor\u00e2neos sobre a hist\u00f3ria a partir do filme As \u00d3rf\u00e3s da Rainha\u201d (September), \u201cUma conversa sobre autofic\u00e7\u00e3o no cinema de Leonardo Mouramateus\u201d (October) e \u201cAntropofagias Tecnol\u00f3gicas\u201d (November).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIAC also participates in the European Language Council, an association of universities, language centers and professionals in the field of languages that is established as a platform for liaison with European bodies and other associations\/alliances. CIAC is a member of the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA)., an alliance promoted by Science Europe, the European Association of universities and the European Union, which aims to change the evaluation of research. CIAC\u2019s participation in this organization attests to the center\u2019s international presence and testifies to its contribution to the evolution of research evaluation procedures and methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also worth noting the CIAC\u2019s involvement in other international projects: \u201cLISTiac,\u201d which aims to contribute to a change in the cognition, training, and professional development of teachers; \u201cTE-Con3\u201d, with the aim of developing an innovative methodology for teaching English in Higher Education; \u201cErasmus + ICFAL project,\u201d which aims to develop study cycles and training for work, in line with the needs of economic and social development of Morocco; and \u201cObservatory of Audiovisual quality,\u201d a place for debate and production of experimental content, from the curatorship, analysis, and criticism of contemporary audiovisual production (especially Brazilian and Portuguese), which results from the partnership between CIAC and the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (Brazil).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, CIAC was an academic partner of the \u201c9th International Conference on Arts and Humanities \u2013 ICOAH 2022\u201d (September), which focused on the theme \u201cTechnological Transformations\u201d. The event was organized by the International Institute of Knowledge Management, hosted by the International Association for Social Science and Humanities and Caritas Institute of Higher Education Hong Kong and supported by CIAC-UAlg, Dau Mot University (Vietnam), University of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), Banasthali University (India), and University of Pretoria (South Africa).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Center organized, in collaboration with NOVA CLUNL (University Nova of Lisbon), CLLC (University of Aveiro), and CEOS.PP (Higher Institute for Accounting and Management of Porto), the \u201c23rd International Conference on Languages for Specific Purposes\u201d (September), under the theme \u201cShaping knowledge through language: LSP in theory and practice,\u201d which intended to present the latest theoretical and methodological perspectives related to LSP, in the organization of knowledge in the digital age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, CIAC teamed up with ArtsIT and hosted the \u201c11th EAI International Conference: ArtsIT, Interactivity &amp; Game Creation\u201d (November). This is an important scientific forum for the dissemination of research results at the intersection of Art, Science, Culture, media, and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also worth mentioning are events that had the participation of CIAC\u2019s researchers and that contributed to the international promotion of the Center: \u201cFILE-International Festival of electronic language\u201d in Brazil (July and August); \u201cXIII Congress of the International Association of Galician Studies,\u201d in Poland (September); \u201cVI International Congress of media skills,\u201d in Peru (October); the International Colloquium \u201cAnimation Socioculturelle, Changement et Innovations Sociaux,\u201d in French Guiana (October); metared tic 2022\u201c, in Mexico (November); the International Conference\/Exhibition\u201d Artefacto 2022\u201c, in Macau and online (November); and the International Exhibition\u201d thinking media V,\u201c in South Korea (November and December).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International partnerships and networks continued to develop through the hosting of research visitors (mainly from Spain and Brazil) and CIAC members\u2019 missions abroad. Examples are: the collaboration protocol with the New Media Art Lab of Incheon National University (South Korea); the partnership with Rede Alfamed (Peru), and the Institute for Culture and Arts of the Federal University of Cear\u00e1 (Brazil).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collection \u201cCreation Processes\u201d was created with the goal of Scientific Dissemination, but also as a result of international relations. This project is developed by CIAC-UAlg and the Research Group on Creation Processes (Pontif\u00edcia Universidade Cat\u00f3lica de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil). Books in this collection emphasize the importance of creation processes; explore creation archives, diluting the boundaries between process and work; and result from the theoretical look of process criticism. Three volumes have been released:\u201d Eust\u00e1quio Neves: photographic subject\u201cby Paula Martinelli, focused on photography and the image of art; \u201dRoberto Alencar: the body in transit\u201cby Wagner de Miranda, which focuses on the paths of Roberto Alencar\u2019s artistic composition; and\u201c Anna Maria Maiolino: artistic project under construction,\u201d by Vin\u00edcius Gon\u00e7alves, which reflects on Anna Maria Maiolino\u2019s artistic work, through the study of a diversity of writings and documents of her creation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIAC also promoted the publication of \u201cLiterary Hotels of Portugal,\u201d coordinated by S\u00edlvia Quinteiro, about Portuguese hotels that were temporary homes of writers, inspired literary works, housed fictional characters, and were important meeting points for writers and artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout 2022, CIAC continued the \u201cCIAC Webinars\u201d, a program aimed at Culture, Arts and Communication, with national and international guests: \u201cCreation in Documentary Cinema\u201d, with Alfonso Palaz\u00f3n (January); \u201cLiterary Heritage, gastronomic heritage and tourism\u201d, with Ana Lavrador C\u00e2ndida Cadavez, Maria Jos\u00e9 Pires, Goreti Botelho and Isabel D\u00e2maso Santos (February); \u201cCineclubism and the formation of audiences\u201d, with Gabriel Rodriguez (March); \u201cPolitics on the prairie, blood in the streets: contextualizing Italian filone cinema\u201d, with Austin Fisher (April); \u201cResearching the history of European studios 1930-1960\u201d, with Tim Bergfelder and Eleanor Halsall (May); \u201cForms of presence in audiovisual performance\u201d, with Patr\u00edcia Moran (June); \u201cAn\u00e1lise \u00e0 imprensa de Macau\u201d, with Jos\u00e9 Sim\u00f5es (September); \u201cNos 60 anos do agente 007: James Bond em dos tempos\u201d, with Gelson Santana (October); and \u201cThe decolonising potentials and pitfalls of participatory video as a research tool\u201d, with Pamela Richardson (November).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-accordion-item advgb-accordion-item\" style=\"margin-bottom:15px\"><div class=\"advgb-accordion-header\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;border-style:solid;border-width:0px;border-color:#ffffff\"><span class=\"advgb-accordion-header-icon\"><svg fill=\"#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"none\" d=\"M0,0h24v24H0V0z\"><\/path><path d=\"M6,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S7.1,10,6,10z M18,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S19.1,10,18,10z M12,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S13.1,10,12,10z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><h2 class=\"advgb-accordion-header-title\" style=\"color:inherit\">2021<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"advgb-accordion-body\" style=\"border-style:solid !important;border-width:0px !important;border-color:#ffffff !important;border-top:none !important\">\n<p>CIAC continued to focus its activity on research, practice, and training, in the field of arts and communication, ensuring that research is thought with and for society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, the Centre organised different scientific events in the field of arts and communication, examples of which are: the Visual Arts Cycle (March, April and May); the exhibitions \u201cAlvar\u00e1\u201d (April), \u201cDa Terra \u00e0 Lua, a P\u00e9\u201d (June), \u201c1907-1914: the first golden age of French cinema in the poster collection of the Faro Municipal Museum\u201d (July) and \u201cYou Want It Darker\u201d (November); the conference cycle \u201cLanguage and Communication Policies\u201d (April) and the \u201cV Conference on Ethics in Organizations\u201d (December); the \u201cMeeting \u201cExpressions with Sound and Image\u201d (April); the symposium \u201cLiterature &amp; Tourism: museification and communication of writers\u2019 places\u201d (April); the webinar \u201cArt and Entrepreneurship\u201d (October); and the seminars \u201cThe digital teacher: experiences of a project on the use of digital tools in the classroom\u201d (October), \u201cThe cinema of origins and the poster collection of the Faro Municipal Museum\u201d (November), \u201cStorytelling in organisational communication\u201d (November), \u201cCommunication, linguistics and intercultural encounters\u201d and \u201cSemiotics and Visual Culture\u201d (December).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also of note is the organization of the \u201cXV CIAC Research Journeys\u201d (July), an event that brought together, in an online format, researchers to share, problematize and discuss methodologies and concepts. This year\u2019s edition dedicated its program to the Centre\u2019s geographic diversity and included the presentation of projects from CIAC\u2019s poles (UAlg, ESTC-IPL, UAb, IPSantar\u00e9m, and ISMAI) and international interventions, which mirrored the multiplicity of research stays that CIAC hosts annually and which contribute to the widening and dynamism of the Centre\u2019s work networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIAC continued to promote the publication of works about the research results produced at the Centre. In December 2021, the fourth volume of the essay collection \u201cHumanitas\u201d was published, entitled \u201cAudiovisual Communication: the love train\u201d, written by Bruno Mendes da Silva. Through the analysis of some specific moments in the history of cinema, this work explores the most relevant concepts of audiovisual language, using a metaphor: the train of love. The predominance of audiovisual language in contemporary communication is unavoidable and, therefore, its conceptual, aesthetic, formal, and technical mastery becomes imperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the production of artistic and scientific dissemination contents was maintained, namely through the initiative \u201cCIAC Talks\u201d, which is an audiovisual product of interviews with researchers, teachers and artists (national and international); and \u201cROTURA \u2013 Revista de Comunica\u00e7\u00e3o, Cultura e Artes\u201d, which, in 2021, included the publication of two issues: \u201cFilm and Video Game\u201d (1st semester) and \u201cCreation Processes\u201d (2nd semester). Issue 1 welcomed research articles related to technology, film and video games; aesthetics and audiovisual production; video art and art game; digital media and interactivity; history of cinema\/video game. The second issue focused on creation theory; interactions between arts and communication; contemporary poetics; materialities of creation; creation and reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, CIAC\u2019s \u201cLiterature and Tourism\u201d research group created \u201cLIT&amp;TOUR: International Journal of Literature and Tourism Research\u201d (IJLTR), a scientific journal with a continuous publication regime, which will have its first publication in the 2nd semester of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some projects have been developed, namely \u201cEntre Planos\u201d \u2013 a replacement of the project \u201cPrimeiro Plano: o espectador em constru\u00e7\u00e3o\u201d (2020) -, which falls within the area of film, cinema and audiovisual literacy among children and youth audiences. Conceived as an inter-institutional platform, \u201cEntre Planos\u201d involves several national and international partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cWorld Reading Academy: Journalism, Communication and Me\u201d is another project in which CIAC is a partner. Integrating the national network of Gulbenkian Knowledge Academies and through an immersive experience in the world of media, this project aims to provide young people aged between 14 and 25 with the tools to decode the news, question the passive consumption of information and stimulate a critical and constructive attitude appropriate to the challenges of contemporary news and media culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIAC\u2019s Digital Literacy and Social Inclusion Hub, created in 2020 and based in IPSantar\u00e9m, develops activities in the area of Digital Literacy and Inclusion of Disadvantaged People in the Labour Market, thus responding to society\u2019s challenges in these fields of activity. \u201cInnovation Scenarios \u2013 Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility in DE\u201d (May) and \u201cDigital Literacy for the Labour Market Inclusion \u2013 Starting Up Multiplier Event\u201d (June) are two examples of events promoted by this Hub in 2021. Internationalisation is also one of its priorities, hence its participation in the \u201cEduApp\u201d and \u201cTalent\u201d projects, co-funded by Erasmus+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the PhD in Digital Media-Art (DMAD), which works in association between Universidade Aberta (UAb) and Universidade do Algarve (UAlg), CIAC has attracted new collaborators. The CIAC-UAb Hub is deeply related to the DMAD and promotes regular activities that welcome the artistic and scientific work of the students of that PhD. The DMAD Retreat is a core activity and in 2021 it was adapted to an online format (due to the pandemic). Integrated in the programme of the \u201cXV CIAC Days\u201d (July), this event included presentations of lectures and digital media artifacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CIAC-UAb Unit also collaborates in the organization of conferences, highlighting, this year, the \u201cARTECH\u201d international conference (October), which was held in hybrid mode, but with strong face-to-face participation, at the Aveiro Congress Centre. This type of conference is often the first experience of PhD students in international events and\/or indexed publications. ARTECH\u201d which includes installations\/digital artifacts and the submission of short posters\/papers referring to those same installations, thus allowing a relatively rare integration between scientific publication and artistic practice. It should also be mentioned the projects with the involvement of the CIAC-UAb Pole, which are under development: \u201cErasmus+ IDEAS \u2013 Innovative Digital Education and Skills\u201d, \u201cErasmus+ 4ArtPreneur \u2013 Innovative thinking competences for creative art entrepreneurship\u201d, \u201cCultural Adventures\u201d, \u201cTIS \u2013 Social Inclusion Theatre\u201d and \u201cNutrimovere\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The year 2021, still greatly affected by the pandemic conjuncture, corresponds to the consolidation of the lines of action of the CIAC Pole, at the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon. The entry of a new member of the Cinema Department reinforced the nucleus of applied research and creation in the field of Performativities, which constitutes the aggregating concept of the activities of the cluster. This year, the activities developed were centred on three fundamental aspects: production of critical bibliography on topics that cross literature, performing arts and the moving image; dramaturgical creation for theatre performances (texts premiered and\/or translated and published); scenic creation (direction and\/or interpretation in theatre\/music\/performance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this period, and despite the constraints caused by the pandemic, CIAC continued to invest in strengthening relationships with local entities and in developing networks and partnerships (local, regional and international). Of note, for example, is the Centre\u2019s support in the curatorship\/programming of Galeria Trem (Faro), the partnership relationship with MuseuZer0 (Tavira), the Open Studios initiative (Faro), BoCA \u2013 Biennial of Contemporary Arts and the ICOAH international conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of CIAC\u2019s objectives is to promote artistic and scientific dissemination, developing projects and inserting actions in the national and international fabric to promote the debate of ideas, the exchange of knowledge and the production of new knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cInvitro\u201d seminar cycle (May-June) and the \u201cEntre Tecidos\u201d exhibition (September) are two examples of activities carried out, in 2021, under the \u201cInvitro\u201d project. This is an initiative in the area of digital arts and transdisciplinary thinking and practices, which seeks to welcome, promote and empower artists, researchers and audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International partnerships continued to be nurtured, namely through the European project \u201cPlay Your Role: Gamification Against Hate Speech\u201d. It should be noted that the project involves institutions such as Societ\u00e0 Cooperativa Sociale Zaffiria (Italy), COSPE \u2013 Cooperazione per lo Sviluppo dei Paesi Emergenti ONLUS (Italy), VsI Edukaciniai Projektai (Lithuania), JFF \u2013 Institute for Media Education (Germany), Fundacja Nowoczesna Polska (Poland) and Savoir Devenir (France). \u201cPlay Your Role\u201d uses the strong potential and attractiveness of video games to create spaces for dialogue and develop critical thinking in young people, in the fight against online hate speech. CIAC participated in the international meeting \u201cPlay Your Role: Gamification against hate speech\u201d (May); organized the workshop \u201cPlay Your Role \u2013 Gamification Against Hate Speech\u201d (May) at the session \u201cThe World Reading Academy: Journalism, Communication and Me\u201d, of the initiative \u201cGulbenkian Knowledge Academies\u201d; and was present at the plenary conference \u201cGames Against Hate Speech\u201d (September), included in the project\u2019s closing event. Throughout the year, articles were published on the results\/conclusions of the project (namely in international publications such as \u201cH\u00famus Magazine\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, through the hosting of research internships (mainly of researchers from Spain and Brazil), under the supervision of CIAC members, international partnerships and networks continued to develop. From these internships, even if some of them were postponed by the pandemic, resulted seminars and publications on the areas of action of the Centre (namely digital culture, transdisciplinary digital literacy, audiovisual production, audiovisual contents and formats).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth mentioning CIAC\u2019s participation in the European Language Council (ELC), an association of Universities, language centres and professionals in the area of languages that has structured and coordinated European projects and has established itself as a platform for liaison with European bodies and other associations\/alliances. The involvement of the Centre has contributed to the construction of a work network, with international articulation, directed towards scientific terminology and science communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also of note is its involvement in other international projects such as LISTiac (Linguistically Sensitive Teaching in All Classrooms), which aims to contribute to a change in teachers\u2019 cognition, training and professional development. Another example is the TE-Con3 project (Teaching English as Content in Tertiary Education), with the aim of developing an innovative methodology for teaching English in Higher Education, based on a sequence of modules adjusted to the language complexity and grammaticality of different academic areas. Finally, the Erasmus + ICFAL project (Institutionnalisation des Centres de Formation par ALternance aux Universit\u00e9s Marocaines), which aims to develop study cycles and on-the-job training in line with Morocco\u2019s economic and social development needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We would also like to highlight some of the activities that have contributed to the broadening of the Centre\u2019s international relations: the lectures \u201cThe justification of the translator in the technologic age\u201d, \u201cThe importance of translation in peripheral languages: the case of Galician\u201d (May) and \u201cThe mosaic of languages: Society and languages in Galicia\u201d (December), promoted by the Centre for Galician Studies and supported by CIAC; the seminars \u201cLas variedades meridionales del Espa\u00f1ol: reflexiones para el estudio de la modalidad ling\u00fc\u00edstica andaluza\u201d (May), \u201cBuscar las Historias (ficci\u00f3n y realidad)\u201d (June) and \u201cLes Math\u00e9matiques sont aussi des faits de langue(s). Comment comptons-nous dans nos langues?\u201d (July), organized in partnership with the Institut de Recherche sur l\u2019Enseignement des Math\u00e9matiques \u2013 IREM (University of Paris); the \u201cInternational Conference on Arts and Humanities \u2013 ICOAH\u201d (September), with the participation of Bruno Mendes da Silva in the Technical Sessions Evaluation Panel; the international conference \u201cThe Linguistic, Educational and Intercultural Research \u2013 LEIC Research 2021\u201d (October), which had researcher Manuel C\u00e9lio Concei\u00e7\u00e3o as invited speaker; among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, CIAC also participated in the 2nd Steering Committee of the \u201ciHeritage\u201d project (July) and advanced with the creation of its website. \u201ciHeritage\u201d seeks to consolidate access to UNESCO\u2019s Mediterranean cultural heritage through augmented and immersive reality experiences, with the creation of living labs aimed at research and development. The iHERITAGE Mediterranean ICT platform for UNESCO\u2019s cultural heritage is a strategic project co-funded by the European Union\u2019s ENI CBC Mediterranean Sea Basin Programme, with the participation of six countries: Italy, Egypt, Spain, Jordan, Portugal and Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another platform that continued to be developed in 2021 is related to the collection \u201cProcesses of Creation\u201d, a project born from the exchange between CIAC-UAlg and the Research Group on Creation Processes from PUC-SP \u2013 Pontif\u00edcia Universidade Cat\u00f3lica de S\u00e3o Paulo (Brazil). The books of the collection highlight the importance of creation processes; explore creation archives, blurring the boundaries between process and work; and result from the theoretical view of process criticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the scope of scientific dissemination, but also as a result of international relations, the book \u201cThe Forking Paths: Interactive Film and Media\u201d appears, published in September 2021. This book revisits historically, socially, pedagogically and aesthetically the last 50 years of audiovisual interactivity. The project \u201cThe Forking Paths\u201d began in 2013, when a group of researchers of the Centre started a process of theoretical and practical research in the area of film interactivity and, since then, dozens of scientific publications have been written and four interactive film experiences have been produced (which were exhibited in international reference festivals such as FILE (S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil), or Script Road (Macau, China). In 2021, CIAC researchers were joined by some of the world\u2019s leading experts in interactive film and media, resulting in \u201cThe Forking Paths: Interactive Film and Media\u201d. In this book, we discover notes that seem to indicate a possible evolution in audiovisual syntax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last quarter of the year, CIAC also launched a monthly programme of webinars \u2013 the \u201cCIAC Webinars\u201d -, aimed at the areas of culture, arts and communication, with international guests. The first edition took place in October with Nigel Power (British artist, designer and academic), under the title \u201cRe-rememberings: notes on the visual culture of post-coup Thailand (2014-2019)\u201d); followed by Adriana Nascimento (Brazilian researcher, teacher and curator) with \u201cFeminist Poetics in Body, Space and Time\u201d, in November; and Tom McCarthy (British writer and visual artist), who, in December, presented the work \u201cThe Making of Incarnation\u201d (2021) and focused on the process of creation and writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the pandemic context, it was possible to contribute to the dissemination and expansion of scientific knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-accordion-item advgb-accordion-item\" style=\"margin-bottom:15px\"><div class=\"advgb-accordion-header\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;border-style:solid;border-width:0px;border-color:#ffffff\"><span class=\"advgb-accordion-header-icon\"><svg fill=\"#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"none\" d=\"M0,0h24v24H0V0z\"><\/path><path d=\"M6,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S7.1,10,6,10z M18,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S19.1,10,18,10z M12,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S13.1,10,12,10z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><h2 class=\"advgb-accordion-header-title\" style=\"color:inherit\">2020<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"advgb-accordion-body\" style=\"border-style:solid !important;border-width:0px !important;border-color:#ffffff !important;border-top:none !important\">\n<p>CIAC has continued to direct its activity towards research, practice and training in the field of arts and communication, ensuring that research is thought with and for society. It is in this sense that CIAC continues to focus on the creation of platforms that favour artistic and scientific dissemination, as well as the deepening between the arts and technologies in their various aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, CIAC organised different scientific events in the field of arts and communication, examples of which are: the exhibitions \u201cThe eyes are not here\u201d (February), \u201cZoom In\u201d (November) and \u201cThe Getaway to the Stars\u201d (November); the \u201cCommunication &amp; Advertising Seminar\u201d (February); the lectures \u201cInteractive Cinema\u201d (March) and \u201cLatin American Artists\u201d (April); the \u201cLiterature and Film\u201d and \u201cScreenwriting\u201d workshops (April); the \u201cGalician Literature Week\u201d (May), the \u201cVisual Arts Cycle\u201d (September-December), the \u201cWomen in Arts\u201d colloquium (November), the \u201cIII Conference on Ethics in Organisations\u201d (November), among others. Also of note is the organisation of the \u201cXIV CIAC Research Journeys\u201d (February), an event that brought together researchers to share, problematise and discuss methodologies, concepts and paths. This year\u2019s edition dedicated its programme to the communication of science, art, literacy and new media and allowed the dissemination of the results of multidisciplinary projects and works under development at CIAC, to the community in general. Science communication is effectively one of CIAC\u2019s missions and, in this sense, activities and events that enable the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge in the Centre\u2019s fields of action are promoted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same line of knowledge dissemination, CIAC continued to promote the publication of works on the research results produced at the Centre. In 2020, the third volume of the essay collection \u201cHumanitas\u201d was published, under the title \u201cThe Museum of Everything Everywhere \u2013 Digital Art and Culture: inter-fering and curating\u201d. It is a current and in-depth contribution to the study of Digital Media Art, which presents an innovative methodology, a\/r\/cography, as a tool for recording and analysing the creative process, for the production of interventional and functional digital media art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the production of artistic and scientific dissemination contents was maintained, namely through the initiative \u201cCIAC Talks\u201d, which is an audiovisual product of interviews with national and international researchers, teachers and artists. The website of \u201cROTURA \u2013 Revista de Comunica\u00e7\u00e3o, Cultura e Artes\u201d became available in 2020 and, in July, the first call for the submission of research articles in the areas of film and video game was launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some projects were carried out, namely \u201cPrimeiro Plano \u2013 o espectador em constru\u00e7\u00e3o\u201d, which aims to bring together projects and initiatives that develop cinema for, with and through children and young people, within the scope of education. Conceived as an inter-institutional platform, the project aims to create a network of initiatives in cinema and education in Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIAC also created a Digital Literacy and Social Inclusion hub at the Polytechnic Institute of Santar\u00e9m (IPS), where it supported the development of the course \u201cDigital Literacy for the Labour Market\u201d (non-degree), the first model of training and inclusive education in higher education for intellectual disabilities. The aim is to promote and facilitate the social and labour inclusion and employability of these young people, through their training and development of specific skills in digital literacy adjusted to the needs of the labour market, with a view to building an adjusted professional profile. This centre is aligned with a network of international partners dedicated to the topic of digital literacy, among them: Center for Social Innovation (Cyprus); Research Group Im\u00e1genes, Palabras e Ideas \u2013 GIPI (Spain); Research Group on Language Studies, Libras, Special and Distance Education and Technologies (Brazil); and Native Scientist (United Kingdom).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the PhD in Digital Media-Art (DMAD), which works in association between Aberta University (UAb) and University of Algarve (UAlg), CIAC has attracted new collaborators. It should be noted that the CIAC-UAb pole is deeply related to the DMAD and promotes regular activities that welcome the artistic and scientific work of the students of that PhD. The DMAD Retreat is a key face-to-face activity that brings together students from the PhD, artists and researchers, and has a relevant impact on society, usually involving local authorities, galleries or associations. This activity, which took place in July 2020, was adapted to the online format due to the pandemic and, recreating in the remote context the fundamental activities of the Retreat, included presentations of lectures and digital artefacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the CIAC-UAb collaborates in the regular organization of conferences, highlighting, in 2020, the international conference ARTeFACTo, which took place on 26th and 27th November, in Faro. This is an event with a growing participation of international authors, which includes installations\/digital artifacts (which, in fact, are exhibited during the event) and the submission of posters\/short papers on those same installations, thus allowing a relatively rare integration between scientific publication and artistic practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following CIAC-UAb pole projects, in continuous development, are also worth mentioning: CHIC, SCReLProg, Cultural Adventures, Gender in Map, Erasmus+AIT, and ENPOWER.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The year 2020 also corresponds to the beginning of a new phase of CIAC\u2019s hub at the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon (IPL), with the entry of three new members to reinforce the nucleus of applied research and creation in the field of Performativities, which is the aggregating concept of the hub\u2019s activities. This year, the activities developed were centred in three fundamental areas: production of critical bibliography on topics that cross literature, performing arts and the moving image; dramaturgical creation for theatre performances (premiered or distinguished texts); and scenic creation (direction and\/or interpretation in theatre\/music\/performance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this period, and despite the constraints caused by the pandemic, CIAC continued to invest in strengthening relationships with local entities and in developing networks and partnerships (local, regional and international). Of note, for example, is the Centre\u2019s support in the curatorship\/programming of Galeria Trem (Faro), in Som Riscado \u2013 Music and Image Festival (Loul\u00e9) and in the Olh\u00e3o International Film and Literature Festival; the partnership relationship with MuseuZer0 (Tavira) and the Open Studios initiative (Faro).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of CIAC\u2019s goals is also to build digital platforms that promote artistic and scientific dissemination and, in this sense, in 2020, the creation of the websites of two projects was advanced: \u201cINVITRO\u201d and \u201cProcessos de Cria\u00e7\u00e3o\u201d. The first, assuming itself as a transdisciplinary centre for research, development and experimentation of artefacts in Art, Technology and Science, results from a partnership between Universidade Aberta, CIAC and Artech International. \u201cINVITRO\u201d is an initiative in the field of digital arts and transdisciplinary thinking and practices, which seeks to welcome, promote and empower artists, researchers and audiences. For this it has an international residency programme, a curatorial programme and a programme of workshops, round tables and seminars. The \u201cCreation Processes\u201d collection is the result of an exchange between CIAC-UAlg and the Research Group on Creation Processes of PUC-SP \u2013 Pontif\u00edcia Universidade Cat\u00f3lica de S\u00e3o Paulo (Brazil). The books of the collection highlight the importance of creation processes, as an increasingly present theme in contemporary artistic discussions; they explore creation archives, blurring the boundaries between process and work; and result from the theoretical perspective of process criticism. Its degree of originality should be noted in a field with little bibliography in the Portuguese language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, international partnerships continued to be nurtured through different activities, namely through the European project \u201cPlay Your Role: Gamification Against Hate Speech\u201d. This project involves institutions such as Societ\u00e0 Cooperativa Sociale Zaffiria (Italy), COSPE \u2013 Cooperazione per lo Sviluppo dei Paesi Emergenti ONLUS (Italy), VsI Edukaciniai Projektai (Lithuania), JFF \u2013 Institute for Media Education (Germany), Fundacja Nowoczesna Polska (Poland) and Savoir Devenir (France). \u201cPlay Your Role\u201d uses the strong potential and attractiveness of video games to create spaces for dialogue and develop critical thinking in young people, in the fight against online hate speech. Video games thus appear as a pedagogical vector in addressing issues of discrimination, sharing tools for dealing with conflict and promoting citizenship among teenagers. CIAC hosted preparation meetings for the \u201cPlay Your Role\u201d project (January); published, throughout the year, articles on the results\/conclusions of the first phase of that project (namely in international publications such as the magazine \u201cComunicando\u201d and the \u201cJournal of Digital Media &amp; Interaction\u201d); and participated in meetings and conferences to present the initiative (\u201cGulbenkian Knowledge Academies\u201d, \u201cDIGICOM 2020\u2033 \u2013 International Conference on Digital Design &amp; Communication\u201d, \u201cXIV CIAC Research Journeys\u201d). This year, given the contingencies arising from the pandemic, the \u201cHackathon\u201d meeting (scheduled for March, in Italy) was adapted and several online events were promoted in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, by hosting research internships (mainly of researchers from Spain and Brazil), under the supervision of CIAC members, international partnerships and networks continued to develop. From these internships, even if some of them were interrupted by the pandemic, resulted seminars and publications on the Centre\u2019s areas of action (namely on media literacy, webseries and audiovisual advertising).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also worth mentioning is CIAC\u2019s participation in the European Language Council (ELC). This is an association of universities, language centres and associations of language professionals (translators, revisers, interpreters) that has structured and coordinated European projects and has established itself as a platform for liaison with European bodies and other associations\/alliances. The involvement of the Centre has contributed to the construction of a work network, with international articulation, focused on scientific terminology and science communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also highlight some of the activities that contributed to the broadening of the Centre\u2019s international relations: the cycle of conferences on linguistic diversity \u201cThe Round Table of Languages\u201d (February), promoted by the Centre for Galician Studies and supported by CIAC; the conference \u201cBesides The Screen\u201d (July), organized by CIAC-ISMAI, CITEI \u2013 Instituto Universit\u00e1rio da Maia, Kings College London (UK) and POSCOM of the Universidade Federal Esp\u00edrito Santo (Brazil); the talk \u201cFar is a place that doesn\u2019t exist\u201d, promoted by Instituto das Artes da Unicamp (Brazil) and that had CIAC researchers as invited speakers; the cycle \u201cDi\u00e1logos Oblicuos: notas entre la arquitectura y otros campos\u201d (November), the result of the partnership between CIAC and the Secretar\u00eda de Investigaci\u00f3n de la Facultad de Arquitectura de UNC (Argentina); CIAC\u2019s participation in the \u201cIV Ciclo de Conferencias y Seminarios de Formaci\u00f3n para la Transferencia de Conocimiento\u201d (November), invited by the University of Alicante; among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still within the scope of scientific dissemination, but also as a result of relationships with international entities, the participation of the film \u201cCadavre Exquis\u201d in File \u2013 Electronic Language International Festival (Brazil) stands out. This project, which began in 2017 and was developed in collaboration with the University of S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 (Macau), the production company Art8Macau, Creative Macau and the Macau Institute, is an interactive film that allows you to interact with the characters in the narrative through body language. In 2020, by integrating the referred festival, it contributed to the dissemination of the research carried out by CIAC on interactive film and the possibilities of viewer immersion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the pandemic context, CIAC supported and encouraged the participation of its researchers in national and international meetings and publications, aiming the dissemination of the work produced and the expansion of scientific knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-accordion-item advgb-accordion-item\" style=\"margin-bottom:15px\"><div class=\"advgb-accordion-header\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;border-style:solid;border-width:0px;border-color:#ffffff\"><span class=\"advgb-accordion-header-icon\"><svg fill=\"#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"none\" d=\"M0,0h24v24H0V0z\"><\/path><path d=\"M6,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S7.1,10,6,10z M18,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S19.1,10,18,10z M12,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S13.1,10,12,10z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><h2 class=\"advgb-accordion-header-title\" style=\"color:inherit\">2016-2019<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"advgb-accordion-body\" style=\"border-style:solid !important;border-width:0px !important;border-color:#ffffff !important;border-top:none !important\">\n<p>CIAC continued to focus its efforts on the creation of digital platforms that foster artistic and scientific dissemination, in addition to strengthening ties between the arts and technologies in their various aspects. Our primary concern is to disseminate and promote the work produced: the centre\u2019s website is being reformulated, to make it a dynamic and innovative cross-media platform, ensuring the dissemination of all work produced and thus stimulating the creation of new artistic and communication languages; we make use of available means (social networks, platforms, partnerships) to disseminate the centre\u2019s production as part of a strategy designed to comply with its initial goal: to innovate research in the field of arts and communication and to promote the production and distribution of material, with an eye to true literacy in the arts and the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new version of the romanceiro.pt platform was recently launched. The aim of this platform is to open the Portuguese \u2018<em>Romanceiro<\/em>\u2019 Archive [Modern Portuguese Oral Tradition Literary Works] to a non-specialist audience, offering the user, through a revamped website (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.romanceiro.pt\/\">www.romanceiro.pt<\/a>), new resources and new research tools allowing direct and documented access to more than 10,000 versions of tales, poetry, and ballads of the Portuguese oral tradition. We continue to develop and add to the following platforms: Invitrolab (<a href=\"http:\/\/invitrolab.eu\/\">http:\/\/invitrolab.eu\/<\/a>), a cross-disciplinary platform for art, technology, and science, which has enabled the support of digital artistic creation; the \u2018<em>Os caminhos que se bifurcam<\/em>\u2019 platform (<a href=\"http:\/\/bruno.oscaminhosquesebifurcam.ciac.pt\/\">http:\/\/bruno.oscaminhosquesebifurcam.ciac.pt<\/a>), which has helped stimulate interactive film projects; the \u2018Ephemeral Expanded\u2019 platform (<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20231227032746\/http:\/\/www.ephemeral-expanded.net\/\">http:\/\/www.ephemeral-expanded.net<\/a>), which has enabled the dissemination of ephemeral digital artistic expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2017 we held the 11<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;edition of the \u2018Jornadas do CIAC\u2019 conference, a moment for discussion between the center\u2019s researchers, sharing their research and results on topics related to communication, culture and the arts. Highlights of the 11<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;edition included the organization of a thematic session dedicated to newsreels, which enjoyed special participation from international researchers, bringing to the Algarve a serious moment of reflection on this topic from an enriching international perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same vein of dissemination of knowledge, in December 2016, the first book in the&nbsp;<em>Humanitas Collection<\/em>&nbsp;was published:&nbsp;<em>Bu\u00f1uel e o Surrealismo: a Arquitetura do Sonho&nbsp;<\/em>[<em>Bu\u00f1uel and Surrealism: Dream Architecture<\/em>], by Mirian Tavares. This essay collection aims to disseminate the results of research produced at this centre, reflecting the healthy cross-over nature of CIAC research, which covers the Arts, Communication and Culture, Languages\/Literature and Digital Humanities. This collection reflects the desirable harmony between the study of new languages, new processes and methods, and the soundness of knowledge that prolongs theoretical and critical traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have put our faith in strengthening ties with research centres in other areas of research and knowledge production, establishing protocols with local organisations, such as the Centro Ci\u00eancia Viva do Algarve [Algarve Living Science Centre], where we put on a Digital Art exhibition as part of the Digital Media Arts PhD retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tasks provided for under international projects have been carried out, in partnership with other institutions, with external funding, such as the Erasmus Project, 4CDE (Code, Content, Creation and Culture for Digital Education) in the area of \u200b\u200bdigital skills, the main aim of which is to broaden the choice of open educational resources to help educators and teachers to learn ICT basics, namely through the artistic use of digital technologies; the ChIMERA project, funded by the Interreg MED Programme, the main aim of which is to improve the capacity for innovation of public and private players in the cultural and creative industry in participating regions and in the Mediterranean region, by strengthening transnational cooperation and ties between companies, research organisations and public authorities in key sectors in the Mediterranean region; the \u2018<em>Telemedia-Arte<\/em>\u2019 Project, funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, with a view to promoting the improvement of the process of online distance teaching and artistic learning; the \u2018<em>Tutoria Virtual<\/em>\u2019\u2019 [Virtual Tutoring] project, with the aim of creating a mediator for learning in online higher education, developed by the Universidade Aberta [Open University], in partnership with the Foundation of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, the Institute of Systems and Computer Engineering, Research and Development, in Lisbon, the Centre for Research in Arts and Communication and supported by the Foundation for Science and Technology; the M5SAR Project: MOBILE FIVE SENSES AUGMENTED REALITY SYSTEM FOR MUSUEMS, funded by the Portugal2020 programme, CRESC Algarve 2020 I&amp;DT; with the aim of developing an augmented reality system, achieved through a platform and an application, with the aim of exploring the 5 human senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Digital Media Art PhD course has brought new researchers to CIAC, who are developing research in the area of \u200b\u200bDigital Media Art, both at CIAC, in the University of the Algarve, and at CIAC, on the Universidade Aberta campus. It should also be noted that some of the centre\u2019s projects, which include the fusion of research and artistic practices, have been continued during the period covered by this report, in particular: the exhibitions programme at the Trem Gallery; organising the exhibition programme at the Milreu Roman Ruins exhibition site, in Estoi; CIAC\u2019s involvement in scheduling the&nbsp;<em>Atalaia Artes Performativas&nbsp;<\/em>[Atalaia Performing Arts], as well as in scheduling the \u201cProject of the new art of making ruins\u201d, hosted by CIAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIAC has welcomed several national and international postdoctoral researchers, namely Brazilians, from universities with which CIAC upholds exchange protocols.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-accordion-item advgb-accordion-item\" style=\"margin-bottom:15px\"><div class=\"advgb-accordion-header\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;border-style:solid;border-width:0px;border-color:#ffffff\"><span class=\"advgb-accordion-header-icon\"><svg fill=\"#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"none\" d=\"M0,0h24v24H0V0z\"><\/path><path d=\"M6,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S7.1,10,6,10z M18,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S19.1,10,18,10z M12,10c-1.1,0-2,0.9-2,2s0.9,2,2,2s2-0.9,2-2S13.1,10,12,10z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><h2 class=\"advgb-accordion-header-title\" style=\"color:inherit\">2015<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"advgb-accordion-body\" style=\"border-style:solid !important;border-width:0px !important;border-color:#ffffff !important;border-top:none !important\">\n<p>2015 highlights of research undertaken at CIAC include the following results: in the field of literacy, the conclusions of the \u2018Framework for Film Literacy in Europe\u2019 project were presented at the Cinemath\u00e8que Fran\u00e7aise. This project resulted in the implementation of various European film literacy platforms \u2013 FLP, including the Portuguese language platform hosted on the CIAC website, thus giving visibility to film literacy work developed in Portugal, particularly in the field of advanced and basic training; the 9<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;edition of the \u2018Jornadas do CIAC\u2019 conference took place, providing a moment to take stock and reveal research developed at the centre. The premise behind this edition was to present some of the master\u2019s and PhD research underway, within the scope of the Communication, Culture and Arts programmes of the University of the Algarve and in Digital Media Art, the combined provision of UAlg and the Universidade Aberta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Postdoctoral students developing research at CIAC, both resident and part of foreign programmes carrying out research stays attended the conference; in the field of computer arts and creative media the INVITRO \u2013 Centre for Transdisciplinary Art &amp; Technology project started, resulting from a partnership between the Universidade Aberta, CIAC and Artech International, the mission of which is to work towards the development of technological artefacts based on inter-, multi- and cross-disciplinary intersection, collaboration between sectors, innovation and creative thinking. 2015 saw the realisation of international residency programmes, a curatorial programme and a public programme of workshops, round tables and seminars; in the \u2018<em>Texto &amp; Cena<\/em>\u2019 [Text &amp; Stage] research group, in addition to numerous publications concerning the production of critical thinking, applied research and specialised bibliography in the context of writing for the theatre and theatre and community, highlights include the \u201c<em>Dramas de Princesas.
