Pedro Rochedo, Roberto Schaeffer, André Lucena e Alexandre Szklo (professors from the Energy Planning Program)
Four professors and one researcher from Coppe/UFRJ are among the 107 Brazilian scientists who most influence decisions and public policies on a global scale, according to a report released by Agência Bori, in partnership with the international platform Overton, a world reference in the analysis of the impact of science on public policies.
The study mapped over 150,000 strategic documents, technical reports and opinions used by governments, international organizations and civil society organizations between 2019 and 2025, identifying the researchers with the greatest presence in global political and strategic decisions.
UFRJ appears in second place nationally, with nine researchers in the ranking — among them, Coppe professors from the Energy Planning Program (PPE) Roberto Schaeffer, André Lucena, Pedro Rochedo and Alexandre Szklo, in addition to researcher Alexandre Köberle (currently a professor at the University of Lisbon), recognized for their contributions in the areas of energy, climate and sustainable energy transition.
In a specific analysis of documents related to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 – Climate Action, Agência Bori highlighted the strong presence of Coppe researchers, the National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) and USP.
Among the main references, the report cites the participation of Roberto Schaeffer, Pedro Rochedo and Alexandre Köberle in the “Emissions Gap Report 2022” by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) — a key document in multilateral negotiations on energy transition and climate change mitigation.
The report also points out that, in the following years, topics such as energy transition, climate adaptation and food systems should gain even more relevance, accompanying the international agenda. Similarly, pressure on health systems and the pursuit of greater social equity should increase the demand for scientific evidence in areas such as chronic diseases, vaccines and health services.
The survey also draws attention to a challenge that needs to be addressed: among the 107 scientists mapped, only 22 are women, which reinforces the importance of promoting greater inclusion and representation in this field.
Coppe/UFRJ’s significant presence among the most influential researchers in the country shows that Brazilian science transcends borders and contributes directly to global decisions on energy, climate and sustainability. It is the knowledge produced in Brazil helping to build solutions to the planet’s challenges.

Coppe/UFRJ welcomed on Tuesday, November 4th, the executive director of the Eldorado Institute, José Eduardo Bertuzzo, and a delegation of leaders from the institution, which is the main private ICT (Institute of Science and Technology) in the country, in strategic areas such as Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.
The meeting was a first step to deepen the synergy between the training education programs and also the lines of research of both institutions. Just as Coppe is accredited as an Embrapii unit for the Energy area, Eldorado is an Embrapii unit for Artificial Intelligence, Embedded Intelligence and Data Science.
Bertuzzo explained that the Institute operates at the interface between universities (basic research) and companies and new businesses (the highest rungs on the technology readiness scale – TRL), operating on proof of applicability and concept and development.
“We always try to be ahead of the market. We have developed 14 technological roadmaps and, for each one, market trends are mapped for the next five years. The institute then allocates 3% of its revenue to thematic workshops, training courses and its corporate university.”
The meeting was attended by Coppe’s vice-director, Professor Marcello Campos; the director for Technology and Innovation, Professor Marysilvia Costa; and the director of the Center for Low Carbon Technological Solutions, Alfredo Renault.
After the meeting between the board of directors, the delegation from the Eldorado Institute visited the Interdisciplinary Center for Fluid Dynamics (NIDF), with which it maintains projects in partnership, combining the expertise and infrastructure of the Coppe’s laboratory with the institute’s Data Engineering and AI projects.

Coppe/UFRJ and Petrobras will inaugurate, on November 18th, a pilot plant for chemical recycling through pyrolysis, installed on Ilha do Fundão, in Rio de Janeiro. The new unit marks a strategic advancement in research and development of technologies for the sustainable management of plastic waste and for the transition towards a circular carbon economy.
Pyrolysis is a thermal process that transforms plastic waste into reusable oil and gases, without the need for oxygen, allowing the material to return to the production chain as raw material (kerosene, naphtha, aromatic compounds and other high-value inputs) for the petrochemical industry.
With continuous flow operation and the capacity to process up to one ton of plastic per day, the plant is unique of its kind in Brazil and is the result of a partnership between Coppe’s Polymerization Engineering Laboratory (EngePol) and the Institute of Macromolecules (IMA/UFRJ), in collaboration with Petrobras. The operation will also have the support of the Orla sem Lixo project, which intercepts and collects floating waste in Cidade Universitária, and will recycle plastic material that has no commercial interest for mechanical recycling (such as PET packaging).
The facility was designed as a pyrolysis oil (PPO) production module, with two-stage condensation and energy recovery from non-condensable gases and residual solid material — configuring a state-of-the-art, scalable and environmentally efficient chemical recycling model.
“We don’t believe that the end of a chemical product’s useful life is definitive. We work with the idea of circularity and are interested in reintroducing materials into chemical processes, making them raw materials for industry again,” explains Professor José Carlos Pinto, coordinator of EngePol/Coppe.
The initiative reinforces the role of Coppe/UFRJ and Petrobras as protagonists in generating knowledge and impactful innovation, contributing to waste reduction, the rational use of resources, and the strengthening of Brazil’s technological competitiveness.

Lucas Caldas, last one from the right, during the launch of the platform
On November 3rd, Caixa Econômica Federal launched an innovative computational platform to measure CO₂ emissions generated in housing constructions financed by the institution. The tool was developed in partnership with the University of São Paulo (USP) and includes the participation of Coppe/UFRJ researchers, led by Professor Lucas Rosse Caldas, from the Civil Engineering Program, who was present at the launch ceremony in São Paulo.
The platform, which is called Interactive Benchmark for Low Carbon Projects (BIPC), aims to support construction companies, developers and public managers in adopting more efficient and sustainable solutions, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the construction sector. Coordinated by USP professor Vanderley John, the tool initially focuses on projects under the Minha Casa, Minha Vida Program, whose standardization of works facilitates monitoring and expands the reach of decarbonization goals.
On the platform, it is possible to consult the environmental impact of projects according to construction typology, number of floors, structural elements (such as beams and pillars) and materials used, such as concrete. These parameters allow identifying points for improvement and more sustainable alternatives for each type of project.
Professor Lucas Rosse coordinates the Roofing Technical Group – responsible for evaluating solutions for the upper enclosure of buildings, such as slabs and roofs, which are fundamental for the thermal, structural and environmental performance of low-carbon constructions. Among the group’s members are PEC students Carolina Freitas (master’s) and Arthur Ferreira de Araújo (doctorate), who, like Lucas, conduct their research at the Teaching and Research Center for Materials and Technologies with Low Environmental Impact in Sustainable Construction (Numats).
According to the Coppe professor, the indicators generated by the platform will be fundamental to guiding government decisions and improving public policies aimed at social housing. “The platform will be a practical tool for designers, as it allows them to transform environmental diagnoses into effective mitigation actions,” highlights Lucas Rosse, who is also a professor in the Postgraduate Program in Architecture (Proarq) at FAU/UFRJ.
During the ceremony, the president of Caixa, Carlos Vieira, emphasized that the launch represents a milestone for the bank, as it incorporates the measurement of environmental impact in its housing financing and democratizes access to essential information for sustainable construction in the country.
The event was attended by representatives from the Ministry of Cities, the Brazilian Chamber of the Construction Industry (CBIC) and the Brazilian Association of Real Estate Developers (Abrainc), among other institutions.
Coppe/UFRJ kicks off its participation in COP 30 in Belém with the seminar “Planning the Brazilian Energy Transition,” next Tuesday, November 11th.
The meeting proposes a strategic forum for dialogue between academia, the productive sector and the government, with the purpose of aligning visions and building pathways to an essential national objective: ensuring access to secure, continuous energy at competitive costs, capable of sustaining the country’s sustainable development, reducing regional inequalities and guaranteeing the socioeconomic and cultural well-being of the Brazilian population.
Recognizing that all energy sources imply environmental impacts, from generation to end use, Coppe proposes an integrative debate based on scientific evidence, aimed at finding robust and sustainable solutions for the energy transition.
The seminar will bring together leading experts for an in-depth discussion on the challenges of decarbonization, technological innovation in the energy sector and the sustainable management of water resources. The program includes the following panels:
Importance of Energy Planning for the Decarbonization of the Brazilian Energy Matrix
The Role of Technological Innovation in Energy Planning

By promoting this seminar, Coppe reaffirms its strategic role as a center of excellence in research and formulation of public policies focused on the country’s energy infrastructure.
Event Details 📅 Date: November 11th, 2025 (Tuesday) 🕘 Time: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM 📍 Location: Museu das Amazônias – Warehouse 4A of Porto Futuro II – Av. Mal. Hermes, 14, Reduto, Belém
Technology developed by the Teleinformatics and Automation Group (GTA) from Coppe and the Polytechnic School of UFRJ has been used since June 2024 to monitor ocean waves from Leblon to Barra da Tijuca, alerting users when there is a risk of them reaching the Tim Maia bike path. Named GuardAI, the technology is designed to detect anomalies using computer vision and artificial intelligence. Now, its functionalities are being expanded to verify irregular occurrences on urban roads, and are being tested at UFRJ’s Science Park.
To perform the monitoring, GuardAI uses the surveillance camera systems already installed at the locations. Professor Rodrigo de Souza Couto, from Coppe’s Electrical Engineering Program (PEE) and coordinator of the project, explains that a city has a huge number of these cameras, but there aren’t enough people to analyze all the generated images in real time. Because of this, some situations end up going unnoticed, which wouldn’t happen with the implementation of the GuardAI system, since it immediately receives and processes surveillance camera videos using AI and computer vision techniques, and sends alerts to smartphones.
“Artificial Intelligence systems are increasingly necessary to detect anomalous events and alert the security team. Since the techniques currently available on the market are not adapted and do not meet the specific needs of smart buildings and cities, that is where our solution comes in,” assures Rodrigo Couto, from Coppe’s GTA.
According to the professor, the client provides a server for processing, which can be in the cloud, and a link to the cameras already existing on site. From there, the system developed by the GTA is integrated with the cameras to process the video images, according to the occurrences that the client is interested in. The client will also have access to a group on Telegram to receive alerts along with their employees.

The system was created during a project developed in partnership with the National Education and Research Network (RNP) to assist in the security of universities that have many cameras spread across campus. Once connected to these cameras, the system sends alerts about occurrences of interest, such as people entering certain locations outside of permitted hours or vehicles parked irregularly or in prohibited locations, as is the case with the Science Park. In addition, there are other forms of monitoring, such as the risk of ocean waves reaching the bike path, a result of a study by student Pedro Videira Rubinstein, from the Polytechnic School of UFRJ, supervised by Professor Luís Henrique Costa, from PEE/Coppe.
Rodrigo says that the technology being developed is constantly evolving, with the group paying close attention to the electronic surveillance market, which generated R$ 12 billion in Brazil in 2023, according to data from the Brazilian Association of Electronic Security Systems Companies (Abese). GuardAI is ready and constantly being improved, suitable for implementation in interested institutions.

Visual data science tools are transforming the way researchers and students explore large volumes of information. This was the focus of the event “Knime Applications in Research, Teaching, and Industrial Projects,” which brought together Coppe professors Geraldo Xexéo and Jean David Caprace, from the Systems Engineering and Computer Science Program (PESC) and the Ocean Engineering Program (PENo), respectively, to share experiences and concrete results using Knime, a free and open-source platform for data analysis and text mining.
The event also featured Aline Bessa, a data scientist at Knime, a company with around 250 employees founded at the University of Konstanz, Germany. She explained that Knime is both the name of the startup and the platform it develops, and detailed how the tool supports the entire data science cycle, involving two main stages: creation and production. Aline emphasized that the platform is open source and free, and that its philosophy seeks to democratize data science, connecting academia, startups and industry in the exploration of complex data.
Inclusive Teaching and Concept Visualization
Xexéo highlighted Knime’s role in teaching text mining and machine learning, especially to students without a computer science background. With the tool, analysis workflows—from text cleaning and vectorization to pattern and sentiment detection—become visual and intuitive.
“Teaching concepts is more important than teaching programming,” he stated. According to him, Knime allows students in various fields, from sociology to medicine, to understand the data analysis process without needing to master coding languages. Projects conducted in the classroom include detecting toxicity in online games and early identification of predatory behavior in digital conversations.
From classroom to industry
Jean David presented industrial applications of Knime in strategic sectors such as energy and maritime transportation. In partnership with Petrobras, corrosion models were developed on platforms and predictive energy efficiency systems for ships, resulting in publications in international journals such as Marine Structures e Ocean Engineering.
Other examples include storm surge prediction models and maritime decarbonization simulations used by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). “In a meeting with Petrobras, it took me five minutes to build a solution in KNIME that saved weeks of work,” he reported.
Integration with LLMs and new frontiers
The presentations also addressed KNIME’s integration with language models (LLMs) and intelligent agents. The use of controlled flows allows for the reduction of typical hallucinations in large models and the creation of cooperative systems for tasks such as intention classification, data extraction and automated response generation.
“LLMs hallucinate and it’s normal for them to do so—the important thing is to control this process with well-structured flows,” explained Xexéo, highlighting the pedagogical and scientific value of an approach that combines transparency and traceability.
Research and productivity with real impact
The results presented reinforce that low-code tools like Knime go far beyond prototyping. Projects led by faculty and their research groups demonstrate reductions of up to 35% in development time, processing capacity for databases with over 120 million lines and applications in projects funded by CNPq, Petrobras, RNP and AWS.
Democratization of data science
For both professors and Aline Bessa, the platform represents a collaborative and inclusive work philosophy that connects academia with industry and expands access to data science. Its versatility allows the same environment to be used by both beginning students and researchers developing complex predictive models.
More than just showcasing a tool, the event highlighted Coppe’s vision of transforming science into innovation and social benefit, bringing the university closer to real-world challenges and demands.
Researchers from Coppe/UFRJ’s Matallurgical and Materials Engineering Program (PEMM) are developing innovative techniques for the production of biomaterials aimed at bone regeneration. The research seeks to offer more accessible and biocompatible alternatives to traditional metal prostheses, contributing to the modernization and sustainability of the Brazilian health system.
In the Biopolymers and Bioengineering Laboratory (Biopoli), the team coordinated by Professor Rossana Thiré develops polymers structured with molecules capable of stimulating the body itself to regenerate bone tissue. The goal is for these materials to be used as temporary implants, replacing metal prostheses in cases of fractures and injuries caused by accidents or cancer.
In addition, the researcher explains, it is possible to incorporate drugs and antibiotics into the biomaterials, making them even more effective in treating infections and inflammations that can occur in cases of fractures. “These materials are biodegradable, integrate better with the body and, at the end of the process, disappear, leaving the patient’s bone regenerated and functional,” says Rossana Thiré.
Custom implants produced by 3D printing
Bruna Teixeira researches polymeric structures for bone tissue engineering
Among the most promising lines of research is the development of customized polymeric implants, manufactured by 3D printing. Postdoctoral researcher Bruna Nunes Teixeira has been studying polymeric structures based on polylactic acid and polycaprolactone, with improved biological properties for bone tissue engineering. “Imagine a person who has suffered a motorcycle accident, with an open fracture leading to contamination. If the surgeon uses a polymer functionalized with antibiotic, in addition to filling the lesion, the implant releases the medication locally, preventing infections and reducing the risk of amputations,” explains Bruna.

Metallic grafts with better bone integration
Vinícius Oliveira studies techniques for modifying the surface of metallic implants
Biopoli also investigates customized metal grafts for body regions that require high mechanical strength, such as the femur and face. Doctoral student Vinícius Oliveira dos Santos develops techniques to modify the surface of these implants, increasing their ability to interact with bone tissue and incorporating antimicrobial properties.
These implants are also produced by 3D printing and custom-designed, representing an important advance in the interface between materials engineering and personalized medicine. Part of the technology is developed in partnership with the Laboratory for the Synthesis of Ceramic Materials (LSMC), coordinated by PEMM Professor Paula Jardim.
Medicine 4.0: personalized and intelligent science
The research conducted at Coppe aligns with the principles of Medicine 4.0, which combines personalization, advanced manufacturing, and artificial intelligence. According to Bruna Teixeira, this technological convergence brings Brazilian research closer to the guidelines of the OECD – the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development – which guide the reduction in the use of laboratory animals in experiments and encourage the development of predictive models that are physiologically closer to the human body. “It is very difficult to transfer information from an animal to a human organism. With our models and devices, we can simulate interactions between proteins, viruses, bacteria and material surfaces, bringing the tests closer to the reality of human organs,” says the researcher.
This approach allows for the development of truly personalized, safer and more economically viable treatments that can be incorporated into the public and private healthcare systems in Brazil. “We are already experiencing the future of tissue engineering and organ regeneration in Brazil—with national technology that is accessible and applicable to the Brazilian reality,” Bruna emphasizes.
New research fronts in bioprinting
Rossana Thiré is supervising another thesis with studies focused on bone regeneration
The advances achieved by the Biopoli group are driving new lines of research in the field of bioengineering. Professor Rossana Thiré is supervising the doctoral thesis of Carolina Barbosa de Andrade, entitled “3D Bioprinting of scaffolds containing hydrogel and cells for bone regeneration.” The study explores the use of bioprinting with living cells, expanding the potential application of biomaterials developed at Coppe.
With innovative solutions that combine sustainability, personalization and high technology, Coppe/UFRJ’s research reaffirms the institution’s role as a protagonist in health innovation.
The advances achieved at Biopoli, which is part of PEMM, show that it is possible to develop cutting-edge technologies in Brazil that improve the health system, reduce costs, and strengthen the country’s scientific and technological autonomy
Coppe/UFRJ and Delp Engenharia have initiated a strategic project focused on developing and validating innovative anchoring solutions for offshore wind turbines—one of the pillars of the energy transition and the sustainable expansion of Brazil’s electricity grid. The study focuses on improving torpedo piles, an internationally recognized Brazilian technology essential for securing floating structures, both in offshore wind power generation and in oil and gas exploration.
The initiative combines academic excellence and industrial capacity around a common goal: to strengthen Brazil’s technological base in an emerging segment with great economic and environmental potential. Reduced-scale physical models—machined and 3D printed—will be tested in the current channel of the Wave and Current Laboratory (LOC), linked to Coppe’s Ocean Engineering Program (PEnO). These experiments will allow the validation of advanced numerical models and generate unprecedented data on the hydrodynamic behavior of structures in oceanic environments.
Under the coordination of Professor Joel Sales, the Coppe team will apply Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques and time-domain simulations, combined with experimental tests under controlled conditions. This integrated modeling and experimentation approach reinforces Coppe’s vocation as a center of reference in ocean engineering and technological innovation.
Torpedo piles—steel pile-shaped anchors driven to great depths—represent a genuinely Brazilian innovation that has revolutionized the offshore sector. By combining construction simplicity, efficiency and robustness, they have established themselves as a high-performance solution for risers, FPSOs (floating production, storage and offloading units)—vessels that process and store oil and gas at the extraction site—and, more recently, floating wind platforms, expanding the frontiers of clean energy use at sea.
Delp Engenharia is one of Brazil’s largest engineering and manufacturing companies for heavy steel equipment. Founded in 1964, it operates across all stages—from engineering and detailing to industrial assembly and equipment delivery—with a strong presence in the oil and gas sectors and, now, in new energy frontiers such as offshore wind.
The partnership with Coppe reinforces both institutions’ commitment to integrating science, industry and sustainability, solidifying Brazil’s leading role in the technological race for the energy of the future.

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.

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.

Demo Description
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.

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.

About the action: In its Tenth Edition, BR Marinas’ Environment Week integrates World Ocean Day in its agenda, inserting it within the context of the UN's Ocean Decade. This event is supported by Núcleo de Vida Marinha, Environmental Education Center of Rio de Janeiro's State Environment Department and UNESCO Chair for Ocean Sustainability, bringing awareness to the people of Rio about the importance of the Oceans in mitigating Climate Change, the debate on biodiversity and Ocean potentials, and the integration between Science, Education, Public Policies and Civil Society. Furthermore, nuclear and atomic applications shall be incorporated for the first time as measures to encompass the academic-scientific theme in question. 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.

This network brings together researchers engaged in allying their academic knowledge with the practical activities of community banks and social currency in Brazil, from the perspective of listening to the involved groups, engaging in outreach work and analysing the practices of the groups involved. “Community Banks are solidarity-based financial services, in a network, of an associative and communitary nature, aimed at generating work and income with a perspective of reorganizing local economies”. They bring together practices and principles, such as a microcredit granting for local production and consumption, whenever possible, in social currencies (valid in a restricted territory and at par with the Real)(https://www.institutobancopalmas.org/o-que-e-um-banco-comunitario/). In Brazil, such banks had Banco Palmas (Fortaleza, 1998) as their pioneering experience and accumulated more than 150 initiatives. With the digitalization of their social currencies, they inspired and worked in tandem with public policies for income transfer, notably in the State of RJ.
