Coppe welcomes Indian professor for partnership in ethanol production from the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide

In the last two weeks, Coppe/UFRJ welcomed professor Sumit H. Dhawane, from the Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (Manit – Bhopal, India), as visiting professor to the Chemical Engineering Program (PEQ). Dhawane, who is at Coppe through the internationalization program Capes-Print, is collaborating with the Catalysis Center [Núcleo de Catálise] (Nucat) in a sino-indo-brazilian cooperation project aimed at the production of ethanol from the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide.

On September 6th, professor Dhawane delivered the seminar “Development of Sustainable Technologies for Waste-to-Chemical Conversions via Machine Learning-Driven Process Optimization”.

The partnership with Coppe was established during the 8th BRICS Young Scientists Forum, held in South Africa in August of 2023. In September, Dhawane and professor Fabio Toniolo (PEQ) participated in a public notice launched by the Indian government that required the inclusion of at least one partner from another Brics member country (bloc formed by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). 

“The project has as its focus ethanol production from the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide. The collaboration involves, on the Brazilian side, the development and evaluation of new catalysts, and on the Indian side, the mathematical modeling of the new process and the application of Artificial Intelligence (machine learning) to reduce the number of experiments required, optimizing the study”, explained the Coppe professor at the time.

In February, professor Fabio Toniolo participated in the International Conference on Sustainable Energy and Environment (ICSEE) 2024, held in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, in India, therefore further strengthening the partnership between Coppe and the Manit institute.

Coppe is the only American continent representative to participate in an international forest fire management project

Researchers from Coppe/UFRJ’s Technology Transfer Center (NTT) are acting on the Silvanus project, which will produce a technological and informational platform for forest fire management. The project has specialists from 49 institutions from the European Union, Australia and Indonesia, with Coppe being the only one from the American continent.

The researchers are on a mission to develop an innovative, environmentally sustainable and climate resilient forest management platform, through the creation of new technologies. The main goal is to prevent the ignition and intelligently fight the global spread of forest fires, promoting the efficient usage of resources.

At Coppe, the studies are coordinated by professors Nelson Ebecken and Rogério Espíndola, of NTT, which is connected to the Civil Engineering Program. They are acting in the formation of a digital knowledge base about fire management and the assessment of machine learning methods recently proposed for forest fire analysis. The professors are also acting on the mobilizing of local interested partners in forest fires, and the translation of advertising materials and proposed technologies into Portuguese.

The platform will offer a big data processing framework capable of integrating heterogeneous data sources, including terrestrial observation, meteorological, climate modeling, embedded computing and video streaming data. Sensors and actuators (devices aimed at converting energy into movement)  will be used to feed the data to the platform, coupled to aerial vehicles and terrestrial robots that will be guided by wireless communication. Among the resources to be made available by the platform, resilience models, results of environmental and ecological studies, and the assessment of fire risk indicators stand out.

Coppe’s NTT Coordinator, Nelson Ebecken explains that the project has established synergies between environmental specialists, informational technology and social sciences. These are synergies to improve the capacity of competent authorities in monitoring forest resources, assessing biodiversity, generating more accurate fire risk indicators and promoting citizen safety through educational campaigns.

The produced and proposed technologies are being demonstrated in a total of eleven meetings for validation, carried out in European, Australian and Indonesian institutions. The last meeting for the demonstration and final platform validation will be held at Coppe, between February 24th and 28th of 2025. Learn more about the project: https://silvanus-project.eu

Project aimed at increasing female representation in STEM areas has won an award

It is estimated that only one woman for every four men will secure a job in the STEM area – acronym formed by the initials of the words science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Despite the efforts to increase female representation, there are still gaps in almost every country in the world.

In all stages of girls’ and women’s lives, since elementary school, there is a discouragement towards the pursuit of science-based careers. For example, toy models, reading, movies and other cultural practices are related to gender roles that are socially established.

The “Heroine’s Learning Journey” project, developed by researchers from Coppe’s Systems Engineering and Computer Science Program (Pesc), brings an important contribution to the training of young women, between the ages of 15 and 21 years old, in order to enable them to improve their abilities and motivate them to act in the STEM areas.

With a model considered innovative to revolutionize learning, the Heroine’s Learning Journey project won third place in the “2024 SBC Innovation Seal” [Selo de Inovação SBC 2024] contest. Promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), the contest had its final held this Monday, the 22nd, during the Society’s congress.Led by Pesc/Coppe researchers Luis Felipe Coimbra Costa and Yuri Lima, the project has as its goal to reduce gender inequality in the STEM areas, with a special focus on computer science. It was presented by master’s degree student Larissa Galeno. Learn more about the project.

Rede Refugia will be launched at Coppe, connecting migrants, refugees and humanitarian organizations

On Friday, June 28th, a digital platform called Rede Refugia will be launched which consists of an innovative initiative destined to transform the way migrants, refugees and organizations connect and collaborate with each other in Brazil. Developed from research carried out at the Center for Engineering Studies and Research on Disasters (Ceped) from Coppe’s Industrial Engineering Program (PEP), Rede Refugia is another example of an initiative that was born in the academic environment, evolved itself and is now having an impact on society.

“Rede Refugia materializes the knowledge developed at the institution. The university is working towards coming up with solutions to humanitarian and social issues” explained Estevão Leite, Coppe’s doctoral student. “The tool’s goal is to potentialize the mutual collaboration between migrants, refugees and other actors involved in the refugee crisis in Brazil”.

According to data disclosed by the National Committee for Refugees (Conare), 58.628 applications for refugee status were filed in 2023, coming from 150 countries. The main applicant nationalities were Venezuelan (50,3%), Cuban (19,6%) and Angolan (6,7%).

Research carried out in 2021 by the UN Refugee Agency (ACNUR) identified that the main challenges faced by refugees in Brazil are: generating income, insecurity, violence, access to housing, water, sanitation, hygiene, healthcare and education. Hundreds of refugees were interviewed for the research and reported a lack of information on opening a microenterprise, accessing specialized health services and about available vacancies in the education system, among others.

“Mutual collaboration between refugees, asylum seekers and migrants is a process that already occurs to a greater or lesser extent, according to the interpersonal relationships established between the subjects. Rede Refugia innovates with the purpose of boosting community integration and collaboration, making it easier to access information regarding shelter, public services and humanitarian aid from non-governmental organizations” explains Estevão.

The launching event will be carried out in the Alberto Luiz Coimbra Auditorium, in classroom G-122, G block, at UFRJ’s Technology Center (CT) at 9a.m., and will feature conversation circles, cultural presentations and gastronomical experiences by migrants and refugees from several different countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Venezuela and Syria.

Nature: Emissions from international shipping can be reduced by up to 86%

Coppe/UFRJ researchers are among the authors of an international study on maritime shipping decarbonization. The article International shipping in a world below 2 °C was published on May 22 on the Nature Climate Change website. Professors Roberto Schaeffer, Alexandre Szklo, Joana Portugal-Pereira, and Pedro Rochedo and PPE (Energy Planning Program) researchers at the Cenergia laboratory, Eduardo Müller-Casseres (lead author of the paper), Luiz Bernardo Baptista, and Rebecca Draeger, are among its authors.

The article will be published in the print edition of Nature Climate Change this June and indicated that international maritime transport has a high level of technological inertia, revealing the need for investments in low-carbon fuels, new engines, and new infrastructure (for storage and supply) to prepare the sector for the transition to renewable energy.

The study is the result of an international collaboration involving several integrated assessment models (IAMs) and demonstrated the potential to decarbonize maritime transport, with a reduction of up to 86% in annual emissions by 2050 after implementing low-carbon fuels. The authors highlight how important it is to implement a renewable energy portfolio, with fuels ranging from drop-in biofuels, renewable alcohol fuels, and green ammonia to conventional marine fuels, and reiterate the concept of green corridors for sustainable shipping practices.

According to researcher Luiz Bernardo Baptista, the study was motivated by a recurring international discussion among researchers about the need to “zoom in” on hard-to-abate sectors. “Is international maritime transport difficult to decarbonize or are we not paying enough attention?” This question motivated the lead author’s doctoral thesis and studies on integrated assessment models, such as Coffee (an IAM model developed by Coppe), and how they would behave with changes in the variables for maritime transport.

“We and five other research groups from different countries have the support of the Navigate project, funded by the EU2020 European fund, and we are working together to analyze the decarbonization goals that the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set for 2050”, he added.

According to Bernardo, some of the reasons that classify maritime shipping as a hard-to-abate sector are the long service life of an operating fleet and its high replacement cost. “It takes about 25 to 40 years to decommission ships, similar to large power plants. By implementing drop-in fuels – straight or hydrotreated vegetable oil, biodiesel (FAME), among others – there is no need to replace the existing fleet”, he explained. He also pointed out that there are challenges in fuel storage and distribution logistics, as they are different depending on the country.

“Brazilian gas stations have no difficulty having ethanol fuel because it is common in our country. Our supply chain is prepared for it because there was a political decision to do so. Studies and goals need to be revisited, otherwise decisions cannot be made and the window of opportunity to reduce emissions in a timely manner will become narrower. We need to regard feasibility under a critical lens”, he added.

New lactation room inaugurated by Coppe students

Students from the Nuclear Engineering Program (PEN) at Coppe/UFRJ have inaugurated, on May 13, the Center of Parental Care. Its facilities consist of a comfortable environment for breastfeeding or expressing breast milk.

This idea comes from the current need to offer a proper and safe place for mothers and fathers who are also students and researchers of the PEN. The proposal was approved from its conception by the coordination of the PEN, who made sure that the room was available and that it was duly prepared for the activities to come. The implementation process for this room took the opinions and needs of students and researchers into account and successfully guaranteed that they were met.

“Many mothers end up quitting their studies because they do not have a support network or an appropriate place to change diapers and breastfeed”, says the PEN student representative Thais Hauradou.

Initially, the place will be used by the mothers and fathers of the PEN and DNC (Department of Nuclear Engineering) at the Polytechnic School/UFRJ, due to the size limitations of the lactation room.

It is located in Room 200, Block G, of the Technology Center at UFRJ, and has been equipped with a minibar for storing baby food, a nursing chair, a baby highchair, a crib, and a changing table. It also includes fun and educational toys, as well as a set of children’s chairs and table for activities.

Occupational Health and Safety: a series of news articles outlining Coppe’s actions and projects

Green April

April 28 is the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, established in 2003 bythe International Labor Organization, but it is also the International Commemoration Day for Dead and Injured. What used to be a day of mourning for the dead has become a day of fighting for life and for proper work conditions.

Data from SmartLab – Observatory for Workplace Health and Safety reveal 612,920 reported occupational accidents in Brazil in 2022. The figures cover only the population with formal employment relationships, meaning that informal work was not taken into account.

Over the last decade, many institutions, companies, unions, and government agencies have embraced the cause with the Green April campaign, raising awareness among workers and employers on the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases. Although not yet officially enacted by the federal government, Green April (Abril Verde) is a bill (PL 1063/2022) proposed by Senator Paulo Paim (PT/RS), pending in the Federal Senate.

This campaign is, therefore, an opportunity for companies and organizations to review their workplace safety policies, procedures, and practices, encouraging transparency and corporate responsibility.

Título: Polímeros: aplicações e uso consciente
Coordenador: ARIANE DE JESUS SOUSA BATISTA
Contato do coordenador: ariane.pent@gmail.com e ariane@pent.coppe.ufrj.br

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.

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.

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.

Contato do coordenador: tcottaf@gmail.com

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.

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.

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.

Resumo: O Observatório de Bancos Comunitários e Moedas Sociais Digitais UFRJ visa visibilizar, fortalecer e refletir sobre tais experiências, seja na promoção de espaços de debate e de ensino-aprendizagem, seja no desenvolvimento de tecnologias com os coletivos envolvidos. Inspira-se na (e em articula-se com a) rede formada por pesquisadores extensionistas iniciada em 2020, o Observatório de Bancos Comunitários e Moedas Sociais (OBM). Este reúne pesquisadores engajados em aliar seus conhecimentos acadêmicos com as atividades práticas de bancos comunitários e moedas sociais do Brasil, nas perspectivas da escuta dos coletivos envolvidos, do engajamento extensionista e da análise das práticas dos coletivos envolvidos. “Bancos Comunitários são serviços financeiros solidários, em rede, de natureza associativa e comunitária, voltados para a geração de trabalho e renda na perspectiva de reorganização das economias locais”. Reúnem práticas e princípios, como a concessão de microcrédito para produção e consumo locais, sempre que possível em moedas sociais (válidas em um território restrito e com paridade com o Real)(https://www.institutobancopalmas.org/o-que-e-um-banco-comunitario/). No Brasil, tais bancos tiveram como experiência pioneira o Banco Palmas (Fortaleza, 1998) e acumulam mais de 150 iniciativas. Com a digitalização de suas moedas sociais, inspiraram e articularam-se com políticas públicas de transferência de renda, notadamente no Estado do RJ.

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.

Action name: Volunteer Drone Pilots
Coordinator: THARCISYO COTTA FONTAINHA
Contact information: tcottaf@gmail.com

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.
