RCTSaai is a service that FCCN (the Portuguese foundation supporting science and technology) provides. RCTSaai is a central login system for educational and research institutions in Portugal. It allows users to access various online resources and services with a single sign-on using their existing institutional credentials.
To log in, use your BIOPOLIS username and password (the same used for the domain/VPN). Your username is the part of your email address before "@cibio.up.pt" or "@biopolis.pt". For example, if your email is "test@cibio.up.pt", your username would be "test".
If you have any technical questions or issues, please contact the ITU through the usual channel and select “AAI/Eduroam” as the topic.

The new IAedu service, developed by FCCN, is now available to the Biopolis community in a pilot phase (beta version). This platform provides centralised access to Artificial Intelligence models (such as GPT-4o and Mistral) with enhanced institutional security.
Key benefits:
Simplified Access: Direct integration with our institutional credentials (RCTSaai), with no need to create new accounts.
Privacy: Unlike public tools, the data entered is not used to train models.
⚠️ Important Usage Note: Although the platform guarantees the protection of inputs, data protection guidelines expressly recommend that no personal or sensitive data should be entered into the interaction fields with the models.
You can access and start exploring the platform at chat.iaedu.pt.
