Prof. Rui Pita Perdigão to SIC Notícias on Emergency and Security Systems

"Já demos o salto quântico que faculta comunicações bem mais rápidas, seguras, precisas, robustas e eficazes fazendo toda a diferença nos teatros de operações em que temos tido a oportunidade de colocar todo o esforço de desenvolvimento tecnológico e cooperação institucional em prática." "Não é ficção científica. É Física Tecnológica."

Prof Rui Perdigão to SIC Notícias on Extreme Events from an information physical view

"Uma vez mais, a ocorrência de fenómenos extremos está na ordem do dia. Invocados nos mais variados contextos, a dada altura surge a questão fundamental: o que são afinal fenómenos extremos? (...) Convido-vos a um breve olhar sobre os mesmos, da sobriedade da Ciência fundamental, ao fervilhar do teatro de operações. Onde tudo acontece. E onde realmente se pode fazer a diferença."

Prof Rui Pita Perdigão to SIC Notícias on scientific independence in war and in peace

"In war and in peace, Science must prize independence." From the geopolitical angle, wherein science should know no borders, as together we are stronger, and will continue to work together with everybody, everywhere. From the science culture angle, wherein real science emerges from permanent questioning and learning, neither surrendering to any pressures, nor into fossilized views of the world.
