In early September, Stanford University released the latest version of the database of the world’s most cited researchers, the updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators. This is the seventh edition of the project, which wishes to provide standardized metrics to evaluate the impact of researchers in several areas of knowledge and list the most influential scientists.
In this ranking, a hundred thousand researchers were classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields. The lists present those within a percentile rank of 2% or above regarding greatest influence in their sub-field of activity, both in 2023 and all throughout their career, according to the established criteria.
In the career-long impact list, which has around 217 thousand researchers, Brazil appears with 1.077 scientists.
In the 2023 specific impact list, which has approximately 223 thousand researchers, Brazil is present with 1.340 researchers.
More than sixty UFRJ professors, with a significant participation of Coppe professors, are featured in each list.
The prominence of UFRJ researchers in general, and of Coppe, in particular, confirms the quality of the research being carried out at the university and its international reach (and recognition).

On October 2nd, Coppe/UFRJ welcomed new students who have enrolled in its 13 academic graduate programs for the second and third terms of 2024. The event not only presented the institution’s structure and procedures, but also included a revealing survey: 63% of students chose Coppe for its reputation and curriculum value, highlighting the institution’s excellence within the academic scenario.
The highly qualified faculty, academic excellence and high end infrastructure were other factors that attracted these students. The survey also highlighted the students’ interest in working with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and pursuing academic careers (44%), while 36% aim towards the job market. However, many students still do not consider the potential of entrepreneurship, an area where Coppe stands out, which was addressed by Director for Technology and Innovation, Professor Marysilvia Costa.
The professor presented Coppe’s initiatives aimed towards the development of entrepreneurship among its students. She highlighted that technology created at the institution must be taken to the market, stressing that pre existing companies are always searching for innovation — sometimes, even in existing technologies, but with new applications. An example cited was the transition of technologies developed for the oil industry and finding new uses in renewable energy sources.
Another distinguishing feature at Coppe is its curriculum flexibility which allows students to take classes from other programs. During the reception, professor Jean-David Caprace, director of Academic Affairs, emphasized the importance of this approach, which enriches the students’ education, offering opportunities in areas such as AI, Healthcare Engineering, Smart Cities and Blue Economy.
Additionally, Coppe offers complementary scholarships and the possibility of participating in industry projects, building a bridge between theory and practice. However, the professor warned about the necessity of managing time well in view of the challenges that will arise. Regarding students’ support, the Acolhe Coppe initiative was presented, led by Director for Personnel Management, Vanda Borges. She underlined the importance of a humanized relationship to face academic and professional challenges. With its combination of reputation, infrastructure, innovation and human support, Coppe/UFRJ stands out as an exceptional choice for those who seek a graduate degree that not only enhances the curriculum, but also prepares students for a promising and entrepreneurial future.
Coppe/UFRJ stood out impressively at the “Brics Industrial Innovation Contest 2024”, taking four projects to the podium in different thematic areas. Out of these projects that shone, three were developed entirely at Coppe, winning third place, while the other one began its journey at the institution and secured second place. This competition, promoted by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), gathered 200 innovative proposals from companies, research institutions, technological parks and universities from the Brics+ countries.
One of the highlights was the revolutionary project by the Control and Automation, Application Engineering and Development Laboratory (Lead), which brought an innovative solution with autonomous drones for tracking, take-off and landing in dynamic environments. Under the coordination of professor Alessandro Jacoud, the robotic system combines autonomous aerial vehicles and unmanned surface vessels to detect oil spill, using advanced sensors. Besides that, the project is also able to collect meteo-oceanographic data and apply artificial intelligence algorithms for oil spill analysis, offering a significant impact in environmental preservation.
Another project that shone was developed at the Laboratory of Non Destructive Testing, Corrosion and Welding (LNDC). The research resulted in an innovative cement paste, which releases a “green” inhibitor against corrosion, especially useful for CO2 injection well installations for carbon capture and storage. Coordinated by professor Tatiana Almeida, and with researcher Merlin Bandeira on the lead, this project aims at protecting metallic pipelines in a critical context for sustainability.
Aquapower startup, incubated at Coppe, also won third place in the “Energy Electronics” category. Its innovative solution consists in the installation of small-scale turbines in the pipelines of cities and industries, generating electrical energy efficiently. The company CEO, Franco Vernazza, highlighted that the company is already implementing projects in Brazil and even planning a pilot in China, demonstrating this technology’s viability and potential.
It was at Coppe’s Business Incubator that the basis for another winning project sprouted, the Vidya startup, which won second place in the “Artificial Intelligence—Large Language Models” area, with its innovative platform for the operation and maintenance of industrial plants. The Vidya Software Platform (VSP) integrates reality capture data and engineering, using artificial intelligence to optimize maintenance and predict failures. With over 24 companies in Brazil and the US already benefiting from it, this technology is a true bridge to industrial innovation.
Marcela Rolim Ribas, Marketing coordinator at Vidya, says that the software has the potential to generate an impact on the entire industrial chain and, therefore, having a bridge for expansion in BRICS is extremely strategic, especially bearing in mind the various incentives and programs this network possesses.
In total, nine Coppe projects stood out in the final, all with high technological potential in areas such as robotics, industrial automation, carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS), green hydrogen production, among other low carbon technological applications.
What are the environmental and economic contexts of climate change? It was to debate this topic that Coppe/UFRJ’s director, professor Suzana Kahn participated in Engie Day.
The event held at Museu do Amanhã last wednesday, 18/9, was promoted by Engie Brasil to understand how energy transition occurs in practice, how Brazil deals with climate change, what the economic and socio-environmental impacts of these changes are and how society can contribute to mitigation.
Professor Suzana participated in the debate with Flávia Teixeira (Engie Brasil’s Sustainability manager), Juliana Falcao (Brazilian National Confederation of Industry – CNI), Guilherme Spaggiari (Ambev) and Luiz Gustavo Bezerra (Tauil & Chequer Advogados) Coppe’s director highlighted that a lot has been said regarding energy transition, but that what we are experiencing is an accelerated technological transition: “a risk to those – governments and/or companies that don’t invest in technological innovation”.
The panel addressed the state of the art as well as future perspectives on technological innovation, bottlenecks and workforce training for the low-carbon economy, the geopolitical scenario, and much more.
Engie is a French conglomerate, the second largest one in the world within the energy field, according to the Fortune magazine, and acts in the generation and distribution of electricity, natural gas and renewable energy. In Brazil, where it has been present for over 20 years, Engie is the largest private producer of electrical energy in the country.

Polímeros para o setor de petróleo e gás – Aditivos
Demo Description
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.

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.

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.

Action name: A Program for Community Business Incubation – Social Innovation in EES (Solidarity Economy Business) Incubators Coordinator: AMANDA FERNANDES XAVIER PEDROSA Contact information: amandaxavier86@gmail.com
About the action: Since its creation, the ITCP/COPPE (Technology Business Incubator for Community Cooperatives) has been working to support community-based enterprises, aiming at meeting the needs of the working class and informal workers, which have historically been marginalized and excluded from social actions developed by the government. The new challenges of today require new techniques and tools. As such, this is a proposal that researches innovative business incubation methodologies for the purpose of improving the activities of the incubated enterprises and providing continuity to the actions developed by ITCP/COPPE. Ultimately, implementing such new methodologies will improve the quality of Solidarity Economy Businesses.
Action name: Espaço COPPE Miguel de Simoni Coordinator: CLAUDIA MARIA LIMA WERNER Contact information: werner@cos.ufrj.br
About the action: We promote a guided tour of the Espaço COPPE exhibitions, primarily arranged for high school students from the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Area. The visiting groups of students are accompanied by teachers from their corresponding schools. Environments such as Espaço COPPE are driven by science and technology and provide key elements in fostering intrinsically motivated learning. For instance, building personal meaning, taking up challenging tasks, learning to collaborate, and recognizing the positive feelings that come from the efforts we made can potentially induce the formation of new, sometimes more intense bonds.

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.

Action name: Support for Micro and Small Companies in the state of Rio de Janeiro for the development of sustainable economic trajectories Coordinator: AMANDA FERNANDES XAVIER PEDROSA Contact information: amandaxavier86@gmail.com
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.

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.
