Videoconferencing comprises a set of interactive communication technologies which allow simultaneous collaboration between two or more locations through video and audio transmission.

Is it possible to access Iscte services remotely?
It is possible to access Iscte resources from home via VPN (Virtual Private Network), establishing a secure connection between the personal computer and the Iscte network.
By establishing a virtual private network (VPN) your home computer behaves as if it were physically connected to Iscte. That way you can access services for which subscription depends on accesses being made using an IP address assigned to the Iscte.
Among these services is the access to many scientific publications searchable through the b-on platform (from FCCN) and to a lot of databases.
You can also access other services, such as remote desktop, by setting up Iscte's VPN.
You can find the VPN manuals in the following links:
