Coppe/UFRJ welcomed a delegation from Dongguan University of Technology (DGUT) and the China-LAC Technology Transfer Center to deepen the cooperation between Brazil and China in the areas of teaching, research, innovation and technology transfer.
DGUT is an institution created in 1992, but has grown rapidly, reaching 20 thousand students. The university is located in Guangdong province, one of the most socioeconomically developed regions in China, and in the so-called Greater Bay Area, which includes cities with great scientific production and technological development, such as Macau, Hong Kong, Dongguan and Shenzhen.
The project director of the China LAC Technology Transfer Center, Jason Le Yu, introduced the China LAC Technology Transfer Center, the only Chinese technology transfer institution focused on Latin America and the Caribbean. Created in 2023, China-LAC is a strategic think tank that seeks to develop a three-dimensional system (platform, network, mechanism) for technology transfer between China and Latin America, working in teaching, research, trade and intellectual property.
Coppe’s director, professor Suzana Kahn highlighted The director of Coppe, Professor Suzana Kahn, highlighted the partnerships established between Coppe and the Chinese institutions, and spoke about interaction with society as one of the pillars of the institution. “For us, it is very important to have these partnerships with companies and to prepare our students for the market and also for entrepreneurship. Researchers need to know the real world, to know what it lacks and what they can develop as innovation”, she highlighted.
The meeting was attended by more representatives from DGUT, in addition to the deputy director for Technology and Innovation, Professor Thiago Aragão, and the executive secretary of the China-Brazil Center, Rejane Rocha.
The meeting reaffirms Coppe’s international protagonism and its strategic role in articulating global partnerships focused on innovation and development.
On June 26, Coppe/UFRJ, in partnership with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Austria, will co-organize the international event Advancing Justice Considerations in Climate Policy – Bridging National and Global Perspectives. The initiative will be held as a side event to the United Nations Climate Change Conference, taking place in Bonn, Germany, from June 16 to 26, in preparation for COP 30, scheduled for November in Belém, Brazil.
The meeting will bring together leading global experts to discuss how to incorporate climate justice into national and international adaptation and mitigation strategies. Speakers include Professor Andréa Santos from Coppe’s Graduate Program in Transportation Engineering; Keywan Riahi (IIASA), lead author of IPCC reports and one of the world’s most cited experts in energy and climate; Tejal Kanitkar (National Institute of Advanced Studies – India); Fatima Denton (United Nations University – Ghana); and Puneet Kamboj (King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center – Saudi Arabia).
According to Professor Andréa, the event will be a key opportunity to bring the priorities and challenges of the Global South to the forefront of the climate and energy transition agenda. “Brazil has enormous potential in bioeconomy and biosocioeconomy to generate low-emission wealth, create green jobs, and promote inclusion. However, for this transition to be just, Global South countries need access to financing and technologies. Developed countries, with greater historical responsibility for emissions, must fulfill their role in this process,” she stated.
The activity takes place under the scope of the SBSTA (Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice) of the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change). Since 2022, Brazil has participated in the UNFCCC with observer country status, a milestone made possible through an initiative led by Professor Andréa Santos with the organization’s secretariat.
Coppe’s presence in this international dialogue underscores the importance of Brazilian science in global climate negotiations and reaffirms the institution’s commitment to contributing to just and sustainable solutions aligned with the needs of developing countries.

In this month that marks World Refugee Day (June 20), the Rede Refugia Platform — an initiative linked to the Center for Studies and Practices in Disaster Engineering (Ceped) at Coppe/UFRJ — celebrates its first anniversary.
Conceived by PhD candidate Estevão Leite during his master’s studies in Production Engineering at Coppe, the platform was created to strengthen existing support networks among migrants, serving as a digital tool to facilitate connections without replacing the State’s responsibility to guarantee rights. Over the past year, the team has participated in national discussions on migration policies, such as the 2nd National Conference on Migration, Refuge, and Statelessness held in 2024.
With a participatory approach, Rede Refugia has already directly impacted over 50 individuals and supported more than 20 projects through partner organizations that promote services and opportunities directly through the platform. According to Ceped’s coordinator, Professor Tharcisio Fontainha, this reflects a new perspective in the field of disaster response and humanitarian aid, where refugees themselves play an active role in their integration. “Technology serves as a means to enhance these relationships,” he states.
Among those who have benefited is Maria Gabriela, a migrant and owner of the microenterprise Comida Chévere. Originally from San Joaquin (Carabobo), Venezuela, she was one of the contributors to the platform’s design and says that her life improved after engaging with Rede Refugia, where she even provided catering services. “Through this initiative, we began receiving inquiries from people interested in our services. Additionally, the platform’s dynamic fosters valuable connections among entrepreneurs, businesses, and service providers, offering us guidance and support in multiple ways,” says Maria Gabriela, who has lived in Rio de Janeiro since 2017.
The results of this initiative will be showcased by the Ceped team during the Rio Refugia event, taking place on June 21 and 22, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at Sesc Tijuca, with free admission. In addition to platform demonstrations and new user registration — with gifts from Rede Refugia — the event will feature a wide range of multicultural activities, including workshops, music, dance, and a food fair highlighting traditional flavors from the home countries of refugees. The program is organized by Sesc-RJ in partnership with Abraço Cultural, Feira Chega Junto, and Pares Cáritas RJ.
Initiatives like this reinforce Coppe’s role as a hub of innovative and socially impactful solutions, combining academic excellence with a deep commitment to addressing the pressing challenges of our time.

On June 4 and 5, Coppe/UFRJ hosted the 5th Workshop of the AcoplaRE Project (Sector Coupling and Green Economy), a high-impact initiative aimed at promoting integration between the energy, transportation, and industrial sectors as a strategy to accelerate the decarbonization of the Brazilian economy.
With a focus on research, development, and innovation in public urban electromobility, the event brought together experts from various institutions and represented another important step in the construction of concrete solutions to the challenges of Brazil’s energy transition. Coppe’s active participation reinforced the institution’s role as a technical and scientific reference in the formulation of sustainable and innovative public policies.
During the workshop, Coppe’s Director, Professor Suzana Kahn, emphasized the urgency of integrated approaches: “Sector coupling is essential at this moment when we seek to accelerate decarbonization in Brazil. Traditionally, this process has been addressed in a siloed and fragmented manner. However, it is through integration and joint action among different sectors that we will truly be able to reduce emissions and enhance the performance of the national economy.”
Coppe contributed by presenting strategic projects in the areas of urban mobility, industry, and technological innovation. Professor Andrea Santos, from the Transportation Engineering Program (PET), also took part as a member of the Research Working Group, which is tasked with formulating public policy recommendations for the electrification of the transportation sector in Brazil.
“This project is fundamental for the development of public policies that connect energy and transportation—two key sectors for decarbonizing the Brazilian economy,” stated Andrea Santos.
What is the AcoplaRE Project?
The AcoplaRE Project is an initiative of the Brazil-Germany Cooperation for Sustainable Development, implemented by GIZ (German Agency for International Cooperation) in partnership with the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME). The project aims to establish viable and sustainable pathways for Brazil’s energy transition by bringing together government, businesses, municipalities, and research institutions.
Structured around three key pillars—Mobility, Industry, and Research—AcoplaRE is already impacting five Brazilian municipalities through technical assistance for the decarbonization of urban transport. It also explores alternatives for industrial electrification using renewable sources and develops public policy proposals focused on social and gender equity.
With technical meetings ongoing since 2024, the research group will remain active until June 2026, when it is expected to present a comprehensive set of recommendations grounded in evidence and interdisciplinary studies.
“The meeting at Coppe was particularly meaningful as it brought the academic and technical perspectives of one of the country’s leading research institutions,” Professor Andrea added.

The Chief of Naval Staff, Fleet Admiral Arthur Bettega Corrêa, emphasized that the collaboration between UFRJ and the Navy has brought significant benefits to the country since the 1980s, with the creation of computational codes used in the simulation and operation of uranium enrichment ultracentrifuges, which has been fundamental for the country’s autonomy in the nuclear fuel cycle.
“Furthermore, the partnership with Coppe has been crucial in strategic areas such as ocean engineering, submarine acoustics, and signal processing. Specific projects also stand out, such as patrol vessel designs, maritime policies, and research in the health sector, in addition to customized courses in acoustic warfare, naval propulsion, electricity control, and the management of natural and human emergencies and disasters. The success of these initiatives demonstrates the potential of this collaboration and paves the way for new joint projects,” the admiral enumerated.
Among the authorities present were Admiral Márcio de Vasconcellos Rocha, director of INPG; Coppe’s director, Professor Suzana Kahn; Coppe’s vice-director, Professor Marcello Campos; and Coppe’s director of Academic Affairs, Professor Jean-David Caprace.
Coppe/UFRJ announced, this Tuesday, June 3rd, the start of technical studies that will support the implementation of Line 3 of the Rio de Janeiro Metro. The new subway line is expected to connect the municipalities of São Gonçalo, Niterói, Itaboraí, and the state capital (Rio de Janeiro), representing a significant advance for urban mobility and metropolitan integration.
During a ceremony held at Coppe, Professor Rômulo Orrico from Coppe’s Transportation Engineering Program (PET), who is the project coordinator, presented the objectives, methodology, timeline, and expected results of the study, named PRISMA-RJ – Project for Integration, Sustainability, and Development in Mobility in Rio de Janeiro. Federal, state, and municipal authorities, researchers, transportation sector specialists, and other strategic urban mobility stakeholders in the state were present.
With a 30-month deadline for completion, the project aims to provide a robust technical basis for strategic decisions regarding the line’s route, economic viability, and social impacts. “There isn’t a route yet. The decision on the route depends on the cost to be analyzed and the responsibility of whoever will make the decision,” stated Orrico.
The work will involve benchmarking with similar projects in Brazil and abroad, collecting and structuring urban and transportation data, holding public hearings, and the technical conception of the line. The drafting of the tender document and monitoring of the bidding process are also planned.
The study will involve a multidisciplinary team, bringing together specialists from Production Engineering, Systems and Computer Engineering, and the university’s Institute of Mathematics. This diversity of knowledge will allow for a broad and integrated approach, covering everything from data modeling and simulations to the analysis of social, economic, and environmental impacts.
According to Orrico, public participation will be one of the pillars of PRISMA-RJ. “Open and total participation from everyone is fundamental. We will seek it, and we will be sought. The population is a data provider. We want to know how the project can boost the local development plans of the cities involved. We will encourage every type of participation possible,” he emphasized.
Development and Sustainability
More than just meeting the growing demand for quality public transport in the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region, the project aims to articulate different mobility modalities and contribute to reducing dependence on individual motorized transport. Expected impacts include improving the quality of life for the population, reducing fossil fuel consumption, and generating jobs.
The study is also expected to boost chains of knowledge, innovation, and culture through the involvement of laboratories, universities, and technical consultancies, in addition to contributing to the reduction of social inequalities by expanding access to services and opportunities.
According to Suzana Kahn, director of Coppe, the initiative reaffirms the institution’s strategic role in contributing to the formulation of public policies. “Coppe plays a fundamental role in building technological solutions for Brazil’s development. There are countless public policies we have managed to structure based on studies like this, covering essential areas such as infrastructure, environment, energy, and urban mobility,” she highlighted.
She added that the project represents a new stage for the development of the Metropolitan Region, with the potential to positively impact the lives of over two million people.
Tradition in Innovation
Coppe’s Transportation Engineering Program has a consolidated history of contributions to Brazilian urban mobility. Notable projects include the automatic traffic light synchronization system implemented in Rio de Janeiro in the 1990s, the green hydrogen pilot plant inaugurated in 2023, and the studies for the implementation of the Salvador subway, also led by Professor Rômulo Orrico, who participated in drafting the terms of reference and the bidding document for the Bahian capital.
Imagine a Paint That Doesn’t Just Color Surfaces It Cleans Itself with Sunlight — No washing, no constant maintenance. Researchers at Coppe are pioneering this breakthrough with a new generation of self-cleaning paint based on advanced nanotechnology.
Unlike existing commercial formulas, which rely on conventional titanium dioxide (TiO₂) particles, Coppe’s team is using TiO₂ nanowires—elongated structures thousands of times thinner than a human hair. These nanowires form a highly reactive 3D network within the paint, dramatically boosting sunlight absorption and the efficiency of the self-cleaning process.
“Nanotechnology gives this paint revolutionary properties. We’re talking enhanced durability, longer lifespan, and functionalities like self-cleaning, antimicrobial action, thermal regulation, magnetism, self-healing, and optical effects,” explains Felipe Anchieta, a Ph.D. candidate in Coppe’s Nanotechnology Engineering Program (PENt).
How the Technology Works
The innovation lies not just in the formula but in performance. When exposed to sunlight, the painted surface activates the TiO₂ nanowires, generating free radicals—highly reactive compounds that chemically break down accumulated dirt, soot, and pollutants. Unlike conventional self-cleaning paints that merely repel impurities, Coppe’s paint destroys them chemically, keeping surfaces clean far longer.
And it doesn’t compromise aesthetics or application: the paint retains the color, texture, and usability of conventional products—with cutting-edge technology built in.
A New Benchmark for the Industry
While nanotechnology in paint isn’t new (e.g., Rome’s Jubilee Church facade), Coppe’s research stands out due to the particle shape. The nanowires capture more light, produce more free radicals, and reinforce the coating’s structure, ensuring not just self-cleaning but superior durability.
Another breakthrough is the study of the ideal nanowire dosage, balancing functionality and longevity. The team is validating the technology in real-world conditions—running long-term tests across different environments and climates—while developing a scalable process for industrial production.
If results hold, this paint could revolutionize sustainability in construction—slashing maintenance costs, saving water, and reducing chemical use.
With this innovation, Coppe reaffirms its role as a leader in applied research, proving how nanotechnology can turn everyday materials into smart, sustainable solutions for the urban challenges of tomorrow.
Researchers at Coppe/UFRJ have developed a scalable, cost-efficient solution for decommissioning offshore industry structures. The methodology, created by over fifty scientists, combines Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) with Machine Learning (ML), reducing costs and accelerating decision-making by minimizing the need for expensive tools such as ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles).
Professors Marcelo Igor Lourenço de Souza and Jean-David Caprace, from the Ocean Engineering Program (PEnO), will present the methodology at the International Conference on Ocean, Offshore & Arctic Engineering (OMAE) 2025, in Vancouver, Canada, to be held from June 22 to 27. OMAE is the largest scientific congress in the field.
With the operational life of many offshore oil and gas facilities nearing its end, the decommissioning process involves evaluating environmental, social, technical, safety, and economic factors. The new methodology aims to optimize this complex process by considering the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, including oil companies, government agencies, environmental organizations, and local communities.
Jean-David explains that by applying machine learning algorithms to data from real-world case studies, the researchers have been able to automate and enhance the decision-making process, reducing human bias and generating more robust outcomes. The methodology assesses decommissioning alternatives based on six criteria: Technical, Environmental, Social, Health & Safety, Economic, and Waste Life Cycle Assessment.
Professor Jean-David Caprace
The study demonstrated that integrating ML with MCDA improves process efficiency, helping prioritize decommissioning alternatives while reducing both time and resource demands—without compromising decision accuracy. Operational and logistical variables play a critical role in guiding outcomes.
“We’ve been working on decommissioning decision-making projects with Petrobras for nearly seven years and developed the MCDA method some time ago. We used 14 real-world cases as study samples to validate it. In the paper we’ll present at OMAE in Vancouver, we focus on case studies from the Campos and Santos offshore basins, specifically the decommissioning of flexible pipelines. In the next phase, we’ll expand to include rigid pipelines and other equipment. Our goal is to create a general-use tool,” explains Jean-David Caprace, professor at PEnO and Academic Affairs Director at Coppe.
The research was carried out by the Descom.sub group, coordinated by Professors Marcelo Igor Lourenço de Souza, Virgílio Almeida, and researcher Laurelena Palhano, with contributions from researchers at the Sustainable Production Group (Sage), the Subsea Technology Laboratory (LTS), and the Naval Engineering Process Simulation Laboratory (Labsen).
Professor Lucas Caldas, from the Civil Engineering Program at Coppe/UFRJ, is part of the Brazilian team responsible for assessing the carbon emissions associated with Minha Casa, Minha Vida (PMCMV), a federal government program focused on affordable housing. The project marks an important step toward the formulation of public policies for decarbonization in the construction sector.
In a multidisciplinary effort, the researchers are developing a methodology and a tool to calculate embodied carbon—that is, the greenhouse gas emissions generated in the production and transportation of the materials used in the housing program’s construction projects.
The goal is to measure the environmental impact of the housing units already built under the PMCMV, creating technical indicators to enable performance monitoring. Based on this diagnosis, it will be possible to propose concrete emission reduction measures and contribute to a more sustainable construction sector.
Lucas Caldas, who is also a professor in the Graduate Program in Architecture at FAU/UFRJ and coordinates the Technical Roofing Group, emphasizes that the indicators will be crucial for guiding government decisions: “We want to offer a practical tool for designers, one that transforms environmental diagnostics into effective mitigation actions. In doing so, we directly contribute to improving public policy in the area of social housing.”
Lucas notes that the project aligns with various ongoing decarbonization research initiatives at Coppe, carried out by its diverse research groups. Among them is the Center for Education and Research on Low-Environmental-Impact Materials and Technologies in Sustainable Construction (Numats) of the Civil Engineering Program, of which he is a member.
The initiative, titled “CO₂ Mitigation and Quality of Life in Housing: MCMVs Self-Managed Housing,” is funded by Caixa Econômica Federal and coordinated by Professor Vanderley M. John of the University of São Paulo (USP).
Professor Roberto Medronho, Professor Suzana Kahn, Magda Chambriard and Renata Baruzzi
Coppe/UFRJ and Petrobras officially launched, on Wednesday, April 16, a new partnership to create Brazil’s largest and most advanced Flow Assurance Loop. Designed and operated by researchers from Coppe’s Chemical Engineering Program (PEQ), the Loop will serve as a key infrastructure for studying the behavior of hydrates, waxes, and asphaltenes in fluid transport systems, such as natural gas and oil pipelines.
With 150 meters of piping, it will be the only facility in the country capable of researching flows with up to 100% CO₂. The over 10,000 m² installation will be located at the UFRJ Technology Park.
“The formation of these solid or viscous substances in subsea pipelines can lead to significant losses,” explained Professor Frederico Tavares, project coordinator. “The Loop will play a key role in reducing Capex (capital expenditures) and Opex (operational expenditures) for offshore operations,” he emphasized.
According to Coppe’s director, Professor Suzana Kahn, the partnership behind the Loop’s construction “is more than a new project or infrastructure—it represents the continuity of a decades-long partnership between Coppe and Petrobras, which has been essential for scientific and technological advancement in Brazil. It’s a historic collaboration that we are very proud of. UFRJ is the university with the largest number of active projects with Cenpes, most of them through Coppe. In recent years alone, there have been over 400 projects, amounting to R$ 1.3 billion in investments. We’ve filed 73 patent applications and have 147 active cooperation agreements on topics such as reservoir management analysis, flow in porous media, artificial intelligence, offshore electrification, among others.”
“This partnership shows how universities and industry must work together to foster the country’s development. It’s the best way to drive innovation and keep us at the forefront. What we are celebrating here is the vital link between science and its application—between universities and society,” added Professor Suzana.
Echoing this sentiment, Petrobras’ Executive Director of Engineering, Technology, and Innovation, Renata Baruzzi, stated that the Loop represents “not only a technological breakthrough but the strength of our partnership.”
“The issue of hydrate formation is critical for Petrobras, and the Loop will help us address day-to-day challenges. In addition, it will provide a significant advantage for tackling CO₂ transportation issues, supporting CO₂ capture and storage projects aligned with our strategic vision of a just energy transition,” said Renata Baruzzi.
The Loop was presented by Professor Frederico Tavares (Coppe) and Jefferson Henschel (Petrobras)
According to Jefferson Henschel, Reservoir Engineering Manager at Cenpes/Petrobras, the formation of hydrates, waxes, and other substances “leads to operational losses and substantial lost profits. This is a matter of interest for Petrobras and for the oil and gas industry as a whole. We need to better understand and control these physical-chemical phenomena. Currently, we have eleven ongoing research projects that would greatly benefit if the Loop were already operational, providing data closer to real field conditions.”
Petrobras’ CEO, Magda Chambriard, emphasized that innovation, embedded technology, and strong technical collaboration with Brazilian science have always been part of Petrobras’ seven-decade history.
“We are committed to national development—our industry, our academic environment. When we look at Petrobras’ business plan, we are talking about US$111 billion in investments over the next five years: increasing gas production; handling CO₂-rich gas streams and transporting them to the coast; ensuring flow assurance, as hydrate formation in our pipelines is a recurring challenge—and much more.”
UFRJ’s rector, Professor Roberto Medronho, closed the event by stating: “At a time when science is under attack, Brazil is setting an example to the world. Despite budget constraints, science is carried out with excellence here at UFRJ.”
Professor Frederico Tavares, the project coordinator, added: “Our Loop was inspired by similar structures in France and the United States, but it has unique features and will be able to handle flows with up to 100% CO₂. Moreover, it will be a flexible structure capable of supporting a wide range of research on carbon transport—one of the current bottlenecks in both academic and industrial research.”
The event was recorded and is available on Coppe’s YouTube channel.
UFRJ and the China University of Petroleum (CUP-Beijing) signed, in Beijing, on Friday (May 23rd), a cotutelle agreement that will allow the granting of double degrees to doctoral students. In total, 15 graduate programs will be contemplated, 13 of which are part of Coppe – meaning that all Coppe programs are included in the partnership.
The agreement integrates the scope of the Institute of Outstanding Engineers, a joint initiative which reunites, in addition to both universities, Petrobras and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (Cnooc).
Under the cotutelle model, Brazilian doctoral students will spend the first two years at Coppe and the following two years at CUP-Beijing – and vice versa for Chinese students. At the end of their academic journey, students will receive a diploma from both institutions.
The partnership aims to promote the joint training of highly qualified professionals in the areas of Engineering, Environment, Energy and related areas, with a focus on the development of green and low-carbon technologies. The proposal is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and aims to strengthen the internationalization of graduate programs, in addition to stimulating innovation, global vision and the ability to face complex challenges in contemporary engineering.
Coppe’s Academic Director, Jean-David Caprace, emphasizes that “with the acceleration of knowledge production during this decade, driven by the advancement of Artificial Intelligence and other disruptive technologies, traditional education has faced difficulties in responding to new demands. The idea is to select the best students so that they are prepared to face these emerging challenges”.
Doctoral students interested in participating in the cotutelle must apply through a specific notice, which will be published on Coppe’s website:https://coppe.ufrj.br/ingressar/.
The partnership between Coppe and CUP-Beijing teve início em 2008, cbegan in 2008 with the signing of the first memorandum of understanding (MoU). With the new cotutelle agreement, this collaboration is consolidated and deepened, marking a new level of cooperation between the institutions.

The creation of the Brazil-China Center represents a milestone in the internationalization of Coppe’s research and in the strengthening of scientific relations between Brazil and China, with the potential to generate relevant innovations in the field of sustainable energy and strengthen Brazil’s position as a global protagonist in the offshore sector.gerar inovações relevantes no campo da energia sustentável e fortalecer a posição do Brasil como protagonista global no setor offshore.
Coppe/UFRJ held an international conference, from the 7th to the 9th of May, in honor of the 80th birthday of one of its professors in the Nuclear Engineering Program, Professor Martinus Theodorus “Rien” van Genuchten. Organized by the Laboratory of Simulation and Methods in Engineering (Lasme), the event brought together experts to discuss advances in research on multiphase flow and contaminant transport in porous media — a strategic area for sectors such as the environment, energy, and agriculture.
At Coppe, the researcher contributed to studies on radioactive materials and their environmental implications, in addition to investigating the flow properties of carbonate rocks through the use of technologies such as NMR and microtomography.
Internationally recognized for the equation which bears his name, he also left a legacy in multiscale modeling and the application of the Generalized Integral Transform Technique (GITT), with an impact on areas such as hydrology, petroleum engineering, and climate change mitigation.
Born in the Netherlands, van Genuchten is a global reference in soil physics and hydrology. Co-author of the Hydrus software, he was awarded the Wolf Prize for Science and Art (2023) for his contributions to the understanding of water flow and contaminant transport in soils.
Researchers from Coppe/UFRJ’s Civil Engineering Program (PEC), in joint research project with Petrobras, with a collaboration from the Norwegian Geotechnological Institute (NGI), developed an innovative system for marine soil monitoring capable of detecting vertical and horizontal displacements and soil inclinations at depths of up to 2,000 meters. This technological advancement is essential for assessing the integrity of offshore structures, such as oil wells and other equipment used in the oil and gas industry. In the future, it may also be used in offshore wind turbine structures.
At Coppe, the project is being carried out by the technical team at Márcio Miranda Soares In situ Testing and Instrumentation Laboratory (LACI), which is linked to the Professor Jacques de Medina Geotechnics Laboratory at PEC. This team is responsible for carrying out integration tests, commissioning and analyzing the system’s data. According to the coordinator of LACI, Professor Fernando Danziger, the system will show the degree of inclination of offshore structures with elevated accuracy, as well as monitoring displacements and cracks that may occur on the seabed, resulting from the oil and gas production process.
Fernando Danziger and LACI researcher, Gustavo Domingos, show the models of the equipment used in the project, printed in 3D.
The data collected is transmitted via acoustic modems, connected to a processing center on the surface. This allows for continuous and accurate monitoring of seabed conditions, overcoming the limitations of traditional visual inspections performed with ROVs (remotely operated vehicles).
At Petrobras, the new system promises to reduce operating costs related to the use of vessels for visual inspections. The technical coordinator of the project at Petrobras, engineer Ricardo Garske Borges, highlights that the monitoring will focus on structures such as wellheads, manifolds and subsea pipelines, with the expectation of carrying out a field test soon. The system was designed to collect data at regular intervals, with subsequent analysis. However, a second phase of the project includes the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) to allow real-time analysis, enabling the immediate detection of imminent problems, such as cracks or significant ground movements.
Divers assist in tests carried out on the plates at the bottom of the Ocean Tank
The system validation tests were carried out at Coppe’s Ocean Technology Laboratory (LabOceano), which has the second deepest ocean tank in the world. In this laboratory, the equipment was subjected to realistic simulations of the marine environment, with mobile plates that simulate conditions similar to the opening of cracks in the seabed. Data transmissions are made safely and without interference, using specialized acoustic modems, developed by Sonardyne, which ensure stable and accurate communication of data via digital acoustic waves.
The project also involves simulations in an International Reference Soft Soil Experimental Field, operated by LACI. The field is located on the banks of the Sarapuí River, in the facilities of the Navy Radio Station, in the municipality of Duque de Caxias (RJ). In this field, subsidence (sinking of the soil) will be generated and monitored over time with fiber optic sensors and devices to measure pressure within the soil, technically known as pore pressure transducers. Fernando Danziger explains that these sensors and devices will provide valuable data on the evolution of these processes on the seabed, enabling the development of more reliable prediction methods for the phenomenon.
This research project represents a significant advance in the use of cutting-edge technologies to ensure the safety and integrity of offshore structures, in addition to contributing to the reduction of operational costs and optimization of operations in the oil, gas and renewable energy industries.
The Laci and Petrobras teams have the collaboration of company technicians and researchers from Coppe’s LabOceano
Ensino Híbrido: Desafios e perspectivas nas engenharias e no ensino básico
Demo Description
Título: Ensino Híbrido: Desafios e perspectivas nas engenharias e no ensino básico Coordenador: MARCELLO LUIZ RODRIGUES DE CAMPOS Contato do coordenador: campos@smt.ufrj.br
Resumo: A pandemia da COVID-19 impôs uma transição drástica do modelo padrão de ensino, para aulas estritamente virtuais, e tem exigido um grande esforço para preparar e oferecer cursos aos alunos, seja no ensino universitário ou no ensino básico, pois poucos estavam preparados para lidar com as tecnologias de ensino online. Passados meses após o isolamento, não tem sido trivial a transição do presencial para o virtual, principalmente na manutenção da qualidade das disciplinas oferecidas neste novo formato. Uma lição foi aprendida neste processo: é necessário investir de forma permanente na implementação de tecnologias inovadoras/eficientes no melhoramento dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem. Neste sentido, este projeto visa a dar apoio à rede pública de ensino, seja no âmbito do ensino básico ou do ensino de engenharia em outras universidades, no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. O objetivo é o desenvolvimento de recursos e cursos em formato híbrido, incorporando técnicas de aprendizado ativo, sala de aula invertida, multimodalidade, etc.

Título: Polímeros para o setor de petróleo e gás – Aditivos Coordenador: TAISSA ZANGEROLAMI LOPES RODRIGUES Contato do coordenador: taissazl@yahoo.com.br e elucas@metalmat.ufrj.br
Resumo: A ação contempla aulas teóricas e demonstrativas e obtenção, caracterização e propriedades em solução dos polímeros, além de suas aplicações como aditivos na indústria do petróleo.
Resumo: A reciclagem de plásticos é um tema importante, visto que mais de 60% de todo plástico produzido já virou resíduo e apenas 9% foi reciclado em todo mundo. No Brasil os dados são ainda mais alarmantes. O relatório apresentado pelo WWF recentemente afirma que o Brasil é o quarto maior produtor de resíduos plásticos do mundo e recicla menos de 2% desse montante. Contudo, políticas de reciclagem e educação ambiental ainda são precárias e pouco divulgadas, e a disseminação de informações que tornam os plásticos vilões fazem com que o banimento desses materiais seja cada vez mais desejável. No entanto, vale lembrar que os plásticos são polímeros de alto valor agregado, baixo custo de produção e muito versáteis, e quando reciclados podem ser reinseridos na cadeia produtiva, possibilitando a produção de novos materiais, além de alavancar o setor energético. Dessa forma esse projeto visa instruir e incentivar alunos de escolas públicas e privadas a serem multiplicadores dos conceitos de reciclagem em suas escolas, famílias e comunidade. Onde palestras e atividades lúdicas serão realizadas, de forma virtual, incentivando o descarte correto ou reutilização de resíduos plásticos, evitando que esses resíduos sejam descartados em lugares impróprios.

Título: “TÁ” LIGADO?! MINHA CÂMERA NA MÃO E UMA IDEIA NA CABEÇA – A LINGUAGEM AUDIOVISUAL COMO LIVRE EXPRESSÃO NA CONSTRUÇÃO DIALÉTICA NO ESPAÇO ENTRE A UNIVERSIDADE, A ESCOLA E A SOCIEDADE Coordenador: ANDREA MARIA DO NASCIMENTO SILVA Contato do coordenador: andreanascimento@cos.ufrj.br
Resumo: Todos nós da comunidade acadêmica e escolar tivemos que nos adaptar à utilização de soluções tecnológicas para nos comunicar, socializar e nos relacionar durante o período de pandemia para reproduzir a rotina de uma sala de aula. Com isso, a linguagem audiovisual e o uso de dispositivos portáteis, como smartphones e tablets, que já era uma realidade muito presente em nossa vida, de repente, se tornou fundamental. Essa proximidade foi uma grande motivação que trouxe a memória da frase emblemática do cineasta Glauber Rocha – Uma câmera na mão e uma ideia na cabeça – que inspirou o título deste projeto e que nos faz compreender que atualmente a nossa práxis gira em torno dessa máxima que representa nosso atual cenário social nos hábitos de registrar e compartilhar nossas imagens, nossos áudios, nossos vídeos, seja de forma direta ou indiretamente nas redes sociais. Portanto, este projeto visa atender a uma demanda técnica para auxiliar a produção de conteúdo de divulgação de pesquisas, trabalhos escolares, vídeo aulas, entre outros, de forma que o público participante do projeto conheça detalhes da composição audiovisual. Enfatizar o uso da linguagem audiovisual para acesso ao conhecimento e para a troca de saberes, uma comunicação dialética onde é importante não só transmitir o conhecimento gerado na universidade mas também possibilitar que a sociedade contribua com o seu olhar, seu fazer, sua crítica.

Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas do estado do Rio de Janeiro para o desenvolvimento de trajetórias econômicas sustentáveis
Demo Description
Título: Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas do estado do Rio de Janeiro para o desenvolvimento de trajetórias econômicas sustentáveis Coordenador: AMANDA FERNANDES XAVIER PEDROSA Contato do coordenador: amandaxavier86@gmail.com
Resumo: As MPE compõe 92% das empresas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (RJ) e são responsáveis por mais de 50% dos empregos formais (Brasil, 2020). No entanto, as MPE enfrentam enormes desafios, sobretudo pela amplitude da atual crise sanitária, econômica e social (CNI, 2021; SEBRAE, 2020), colocando em evidencia o modelo econômico dominante, centrado na produção em massa de bens materiais e de performance financeira (Fernandes et al., 2021; Lima & Dias, 2020). Nesse sentido, esse projeto se fundamenta na perspectiva da Economia da Funcionalidade e da Cooperação (EFC), que tem como proposta fornecer soluções integradas de bens e serviços a partir da cooperação entre diferentes atores territoriais, abandonando a noção de escalabilidade e desenvolvendo novos modelos de governança de empresas e territórios (Du Tertre et al., 2019). Essa abordagem interacionista permite um menor consumo de recursos naturais e a renovação do vínculo social, criando resiliência para as relações econômicas, tão fragilizadas diante do cenário atual (Xavier et al., 2021; Roman et al., 2020). Este projeto visa apoiar as Micro e Pequenas Empresas do estado do Rio de Janeiro no desenvolvimento de trajetórias econômicas sustentáveis, criando impacto direto na sociedade e na comunidade científica. Para tanto, visa a formação, acompanhamento e intervenção de dirigentes de empresas para transição de modelo econômico a partir do Modelo da Economia da Funcionalidade e da Cooperação.

Boas Práticas de Acolhimento – Saberes, Convivências e Aprendizagens
Demo Description
Título: Boas Práticas de Acolhimento – Saberes, Convivências e Aprendizagens Coordenador:VANDA BORGES DE SOUZA Contato do coordenador: vanda@adc.coppe.ufrj.br
Resumo: Entende-se que o acolhimento poderá ampliar sua esfera de atuação, para além do campo psicossocial, podendo alcançar também o contexto socioeconômico, acadêmico, das relações laborais entre outros. Com o passar do tempo, a sobrevivência às situações de adoecimento, outros aspectos do acolhimento foram se apresentando. O acolhimento financeiro, o acolhimento acadêmico, o acolhimento dos conflitos e dificuldades de relacionamentos, o acolhimento laboral pela dificuldade de absorção e entendimento das novas formas de trabalho surgidas. A partir de então, se fez necessário repensar como dar conta de considerar todos esses tipos de acolhimentos. Neste sentido, este projeto pretende evidenciar a importância de compartilhar uma informação que oriente e facilite os indivíduos para o desempenho de ações de acolhimento nos diversos espaços de convivência. Por isso, saberes, convivências e aprendizagens fazem parte de uma via de mão dupla. Ou seja, cada parte tem o que a transmitir, conhecer e se aperfeiçoar com a outra.

Título: Capacitação de jovens para o mercado de TI em NF, uma abordagem através de aprendizado ativo: introdução à programação em Python Coordenador:EDMUNDO ALBUQUERQUE DE SOUZA E SILVA Contato do coordenador: edmundo@land.ufrj.br
Resumo: Este curso é uma ação prevista no projeto de Extensão “Ensino Hibrido: Desafios e perspectivas nas engenharias e no ensino básico” já registrado no SIGA, pela COPPE. O projeto de extensão registrado no SIGA tem como um dos seus objetivos a criação de cursos em áreas chave para o desenvolvimento do Estado e de acordo com a experiência multidisciplinar da COPPE. Através de uma parceria com a Ong Ideas de Friburgo que proporcionou a infraestrutura necessária (espaço físico, computadores, pessoal local, etc.) foi criado um local para treinamento de jovens oriundos de escolas públicas do segundo grau. A ideia do curso surgiu durante a elaboração de disciplinas de programação para um curso avançado de técnicas de Inteligência Artificial com o formato hibrido baseado no Aprendizado Voltado a Projetos (PBL, projeto FAPERJ) de forma a que a experiência do projeto em PBL fosse aplicada a jovens alunos. O curso visa introduzir os jovens em linguagens modernas de computação, e fornecer o treinamento essencial para que o aluno da rede pública de ensino possa mais facilmente ingressar no mercado de trabalho local. Os alunos selecionados têm a oportunidade de aprender programação na prática, com base na linguagem Python, para melhor entender e tentar propor soluções a problemas reais e da cidade de Friburgo quando possível. O curso visa também fornecer incentivos para que os egressos possam continuar os estudos em tópicos adicionais de tecnologias da computação.

Este evento conta com os apoios do Núcleo de Vida Marinha e do Centro de Educação Ambiental da Secretaria de Meio Ambiente e da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro e da Cátedra UNESCO para a Sustentabilidade do Oceano, trazendo para o público carioca a importância dos Oceanos na mitigação das Mudanças Climáticas, o debate sobre a biodiversidade e as potencialidades do Oceano, e a integração entre Ciência, Educação, Políticas Públicas e Sociedade Civil. Ademais, serão incorporadas pela primeira vez aplicações nucleares e atômicas de medidas para englobar a temática em tela com cujo acadêmico-cientifico. E, por fim, teremos uma ação de Sensibilização Ambiental será realizada através da promoção de um Mutirão de Limpeza com foco nos resíduos sólidos do entorno da Marina da Glória, incluindo o Lixo Marinho, com a participação de voluntários.
Resumo: Em 2022, os desastres causaram mais de 30,704 mortes e com 185 milhões de pessoas afetadas, e prejuízos de 223.8 bilhões de dólares segundo o Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED). No Brasil, entre 2011 a 2022, especificamente no Rio de Janeiro, houve 591 ocorrências de desastres, resultando em 987 mortes e afetando 3,9 milhões de pessoas, e prejuízos econômicos superior a R$ 3,08 bilhões (Atlas digital de desastres no Brasil, 2023). Tais dados demonstram a importância e a complexidade das Operações Humanitárias e de Desastres (OHD), as quais envolvem o acesso as áreas afetadas, a coordenação de diversos stakeholders e falta de recursos. Assim surge o projeto Droneiros Voluntários, idealizado no âmbito do Programa de Engenharia de Produção da COPPE/CT/UFRJ de forma a auxiliar a escassez de recursos humanos e tecnológicos na resposta a desastres. O projeto conta com uma plataforma tecnológica que atua como um facilitador, unindo proprietários de drones, defesa civil e outras organizações no desenvolvimento de ações de mapeamento de áreas de risco e afetadas por desastres, promovendo uma colaboração entre stakeholders mais eficaz e eficiente no contexto de OHD. Nesse sentido, o projeto atua no engajamento e promoção da troca de conhecimento entre os diferentes atores tratados como público alvo, promovendo OHD eficazes e mais eficientes, com integração entre diferentes áreas de conhecimento científico e pesquisadores de diferentes níveis que atuam em OHD.

Hybrid Education: Challenges and perspectives in engineering and basic education
Demo Description
Action name: Hybrid Education: Challenges and perspectives in engineering and basic education Coordinator: MARCELLO LUIZ RODRIGUES DE CAMPOS Contact information: campos@smt.ufrj.br
About the action: The COVID-19 pandemic enforced a drastic transition from the traditional teaching model to strictly online classes, having required a great effort to prepare and offer courses to students ranging from primary to higher education, since only a few were prepared to deal with technologies for online teaching. Even months after social distancing started, the in-person to online transition was not a trivial process, especially when it came to maintaining the quality of the courses offered in this new modality. This process taught us one important lesson: it is necessary that we permanently invest in implementing innovative/efficient technologies for improved teaching and learning. As such, this project aims to support public education in the state of Rio de Janeiro, from basic education to higher Education in engineering at other universities. With a hybrid learning modality, our purpose is to develop resources and courses that incorporate active learning methods, flipped classrooms, multimodality, etc.

Polymers: applications and awareness
Demo Description
Action name: Polymers: applications and awareness Coordinator: ARIANE DE JESUS SOUSA BATISTA Contact information: ariane.pent@gmail.com and ariane@pent.coppe.ufrj.br
About the action: Plastic recycling has become a very important matter, since over 60% of all plastic produced globally has already become waste but only 9% has been recycled. In Brazil, the situation is even more alarming. A recent WWF report states that Brazil is the fourth largest producer of plastic waste worldwide, with a recycling rate of less than 2%. Our policies for recycling and environmental education are still insufficient and poorly publicized. Furthermore, plastics have recently been made out to be villains, making it increasingly desirable that these materials are banned. However, it is worth remembering that plastics are polymers with high value-added, low production costs, and very versatile properties. When recycled, they can be reinserted into the production chain, which enables the production of new materials and boosts the energy industry. As such, our project aims to guide and encourage students from public and private schools to reproduce the concept of recycling in their schools, families, and communities. We hold online lectures and fun activities that stimulate the reuse and proper disposal of plastic waste, preventing it from being disposed of in inappropriate places.

Demo Description
Action name: “Y’KNOW”?! my camera in my hand and an idea in my head – audiovisual language as free expression in the dialectic construction within the space between university, school and society Coordinator: ANDREA MARIA DO NASCIMENTO SILVA Contact information: andreanascimento@cos.ufrj.br
About the action: All of us from the academic and school community had to adapt ourselves to the use of technological solutions in order to communicate, socialize and engage with each other during the pandemic while aiming towards reproducing a classroom routine. As a result, audiovisual language and the use of portable devices such as smartphones and tablets, which were already a very present reality in our lives, suddenly became fundamental. This proximity was a great motivation that brought to memory the emblematic quote from filmmaker Glauber Rocha – A camera in hand and an idea in my head – which inspired the name of this project and makes us comprehend that our current practice revolves around this idea which represents our current social scenario in the habits of registering and sharing our images, voice messages, our videos, whether directly or indirectly on social media. Therefore, this project aims to meet a technical demand to assist in the production of content regarding the dissemination of research, school work, video lessons, among others, in a way that the audience participating in the project is familiar with the details of audiovisual composition. Emphasizing the use of audiovisual language as a vehicle for learning and sharing knowledge, a dialectical communication where it is important not only to transmit the knowledge generated at universities but also enable society to contribute with its gaze, its action and its criticism.

About the action: SMEs make up 92% of companies in the State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and are responsible for over 50% of formal employment (Brazil, 2020). However, as SMEs face huge challenges, especially due to the extent of the current health, economic and social crisis (CNI, 2021; SEBRAE, 2020), highlighting the dominant economic model, centered around the mass production of material assets and financial statement (Fernandes et al., 2021; Lima & Dias, 2020). In this sense, this project is based on the perspective of the Economy of Functionality and Cooperation (EFC), which aims to provide integrated solutions for assets and services through the cooperation between different territorial actors, abandoning the notion of stability and developing new governance models for companies and territories (Du Tertre et al., 2019). This interactionist approach allows for less consumption of natural resources and a renewal of social bonds, creating resilience for economic relations, which have been so fragile due to the current scenario (Xavier et al., 2021; Roman et al., 2020). This project aims to support Micro and Small companies in the state of Rio de Janeiro in developing sustainable economic trajectories, creating a direct impact on society and the scientific community. To this end, it aims to train, monitor and intervene with business leaders for the transition of their economic model based on the Economy of the Functionality and Cooperation Model.

Best Practices on Emotional Care – Knowledge, Coexistence and Learning
Demo Description
Action name: Best Practices on Emotional Care – Knowledge, Coexistence and Learning Coordinator:VANDA BORGES DE SOUZA Contact information: vanda@adc.coppe.ufrj.br
About the action: It is understood that when providing care, one can expand the scope of its action beyond the psychosocial field, therefore also reaching the socioeconomic, academic and employment relations context, among others. Over time, other aspects of the care being provided started to emerge, as a way to survive situations of illness, such as financial care, academic care, care regarding relationship conflicts and challenges, as well as regarding labor due to the difficulty in absorbing and comprehending the new emerging work forms. From then on, it has been necessary to rethink a way to encompass all of these different types of care. In this sense, this project intends to highlight the importance of sharing information that directs and helps individuals in performing actions of care in several mutual commonspaces. Therefore, knowledge, coexistence and learning are a part of two-way street, meaning that each part has something to transmit, learn and improve with the other.

Lastly, we shall hold an Environmental Awareness action which shall be carried out through the promotion of a major Clean-Up Campaign focusing on solid waste in the surroundings of Marina da Glória, including Marine Litter, with the participation of volunteers.
About the action: In 2022, disasters caused over 30,704 deaths, affected 185 million people, and induced economic losses of 223.8 billion dollars according to the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED). In Brazil, between 2011 and 2022, specifically in Rio de Janeiro, there have been 591 disaster occurrences, resulting in 987 deaths, affecting around 3,9 million people and inducing economic losses of over R$3,08 billion (Digital atlas of disasters in Brazil, 2023). Such data demonstrates the importance and complexity of Humanitarian and Disasters Operations (OHD), which involve access to affected areas, coordination of several stakeholders and lack of resources. Thus, the Volunteer Drone Pilots project was created, idealized within the scope of the COPPE/CT/UFRJ Industrial Engineering Program in order to help with the shortage of human and technological resources in disaster response. The project has a technological platform that acts as a facilitator, uniting drone owners, civil defense and other organizations in the development of actions to map areas at risk and affected by disasters, promoting more effective and efficient collaboration between stakeholders in the context of OHD. In this sense, the project works to engage and promote knowledge exchange among the different actors treated as target audience, promoting effective and more efficient OHD, with the integration of different scientific knowledge areas and researchers of different levels who act in OHD.
About the action: InSilicoNet is a collaboration space where diverse actors from society are invited to bring their technical problems to build, together with academic members, innovative technological solutions based on digital tools. It is structured as a network of seven Universities of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ, UERJ, PUC-Rio, UFF, UFRRJ and SENAI CETIQT) and engineering professionals with experience in the area of process systems engineering (PSE). InSilicoNet have a mission to promote the scientific and technological development committed not only to the economic performance, but also to the social and environmental impacts through outreach activities integrated to research and teaching initiatives in PSE, contemplating: a) Learning Factory, which develops skills and abilities of undergraduate and graduate students for collaborative work employing PSE to solve technological, social and environmental problems treatable by digital engineering tools; b) Offering outreach courses that promote competence for developing research, technology and innovation; c) Research and Development Projects integrating undergraduate and graduate students under academic supervision and mentoring by industries, organizations and/or governments.
About the action: The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reveals that in 2022 the world surpassed the mark of 100 million people in forced displacement, motivated by numerous reasons. In Brazil, since 2011 297.712 requests for the recognition of refugee status have been made. Due to its complexity and high amount of people affected, the humanitarian refugee crisis has to be addressed by governments in partnership with civil society and the private sector, in order to ensure that people in forced displacement have their human rights protected during an effective reception process that is attentive to their needs. Thus, those interested in helping Brazil face its migration crisis, Rede Refugia was created within the scope of the Industrial Engineering Program at COPPE/CT/UFRJ. It is a collaborative technological platform that aims to facilitate the process of reception, protection and integration of these people in forced displacement who are in Brazil. In this way, we seek to strengthen the mutual collaboration processes among refugees, asylum seekers, stateless people, public authorities, private entities, humanitarian organizations and other stakeholders. Through a social innovation process, Rede Refugia aims to foster an environment that favors the implementation of innovative solutions to the problems experienced by people in forced displacement living in Brazilian territory.
