Students Interests Groups
These are some of the projects created and promoted by our students and based at the DCC:
NUCC - Computer Science Student Group
Created by students and for students, NUCC’s main goal is to bring together bright minds and spark new and exciting projects in the field of Computer Science. Although closely linked to the BSc in Computer Science (LCC) and the Integrated Master in Network and Information Systems Engineering (MERSI), NUCC is open to the entire academic community of the University of Porto. The group regularly organizes workshops, talks, and study groups. Among its initiatives, the annual UPDate event stands out, a weekend full of activities, learning, and networking.

Porto Graphics
A group of students in the field of computer graphics (CG) at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto who want to develop and apply their knowledge beyond the classroom. They bring together volunteer students with the aim of creating an active community for knowledge sharing, independent learning, and joint projects. They carry out many activities, such as workshops on film production, Photoshop, basic CG concepts, and other activities such as organizing a GameJam and roundtables to discuss topics in the field.
