Key details
The 22nd National Science and Technology Week (SNCT) 2025 is actively engaging multiple Brazilian regions in focused activities centered on the theme "Planet Water: Ocean Culture to Face Climate Change in My Territory." This annual event fosters scientific outreach that links ocean culture, climate change, and sustainable practices to local environments.
Campus Petrolina at IF Sertão-PE hosted the SNCT from October 14 to 16, highlighting workshops and exhibitions that connected science to regional semi-arid challenges. Notably, students participated in sustainable visual arts using aquatic plants from the São Francisco River. Environmentalist Victor Flores delivered a closing lecture emphasizing water as a fundamental human right (ID 105949).
In Pernambuco, IFPE Palmares will hold its event on November 4-5, inviting the public to lectures, workshops, and exhibitions promoting environmental preservation and scientific knowledge democratization through interactive projects (ID 105955).
Maranhão's Universidade Estadual do Maranhão (Uema) contributes from October 21 to 24 with lectures and workshops on environmental chemistry, ocean preservation, and urban waste management, reinforcing regional scientific engagement within the Amazonas coast and climate challenges (ID 105943).
Meanwhile, Bauru in São Paulo is coordinating events from October 21 to 24, supported by R$ 40,000 from national science and technology agencies. Activities extend to Boraceia, Lençóis Paulista, and Pederneiras, culminating in a public 'Festa da Ciência' featuring free access to scientific projects and education on the freshwater cycle affecting the Tietê-Paraná River Basin (ID 105945).
Together, these regional efforts demonstrate Brazil’s robust commitment to integrating science, traditional knowledge, and community involvement to address climate change impacts and ocean culture at local and national levels.
