GHOSTDANCE, an exploratory research project led by Rui Filipe Antunes at CICANT, received an “Excellent” rating in its final evaluation by the FCT.
The evaluation highlighted the project’s high scientific quality, successful navigation of complex challenges, and broader-than-expected impact. Outcomes included peer-reviewed publications, performance-based conferences, a software prototype, technical reports, and an extensive dataset poised to contribute to future AI research.
Evaluators praised the team’s adaptability, noting that many challenges became opportunities for innovation—such as expanding from one to three Master’s theses, and surpassing initial dissemination goals with additional videos and outreach work.
The final report concludes that GHOSTDANCE met its objectives with “the highest scientific standards,” confirming the project’s lasting relevance and excellence.
