GCE-NEIIST webapp

GCE-NEIIST is the home for our student's group, Grupo de Contacto com Empresas.

This platform aims to provide services for Técnico Lisboa students, such as:

• Informative service about the group.
• Events sign up (i.e. programming competitions, open-days)
• GCE-Inside View: A project that shows different careers on Computer Science and Engineering.
• GCE-Thesis: Using AI to classify MEIC masters' theses proposals. We provide a simple and intuitive interface to navigate through them.
• Mr Thesis: a friendly chatbot, complementary to GCE-Thesis, that helps student to find a suitable thesis for themselves.

Note that this is a WIP project, and it is on alpha phase.
