Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute

The Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute is a research facility in Funchal focused on developing systems for human-computer interaction. The building contains laboratories and working spaces where teams work on design and technological innovation.

The facility was founded in 2009 through collaboration between the University of Madeira, Madeira Tecnopolo, and Carnegie Mellon University. This partnership brought international expertise to the island and established the center as a hub for technical research.

The institute draws professionals from different fields and creates a space where computer scientists, designers, and specialists from other areas exchange ideas. Visitors can observe how international teams work together on projects that shape everyday technology.

Access is typically limited to academic events and open visiting days, so check in advance about possible tour times. The institute is located near other educational facilities in Funchal, making it easy to visit multiple places in one day.

The institute has a strong connection to one of the world's leading universities for computer science and technology through its agreement with Carnegie Mellon. This partnership allows researchers in Madeira to participate in projects of international standing without leaving the island.
