Key details
Brazil is gearing up for the 22nd National Science and Technology Week, taking place from October 20 to 24, 2025. The theme for this year is "Planet Water: Ocean Culture to Face Climate Change in My Territory", designed to emphasize the role of marine ecosystems in climate resilience. Key events include lectures and workshops organized by Concessionária Tamoios at the Cemaden, addressing road technology and rainfall impacts, alongside cultural presentations at Uerj's Oceanography Faculty that incorporate artistic forms like poetry and rap to engage the public. Tamoios will offer two significant talks, and participation requires prior registration due to limited availability.
In parallel, Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Pernambuco (IFPE) has secured R$ 40,000 for a project aimed at integrating social technologies in education that spans twelve months, partnering with local schools to boost scientific literacy. This initiative is part of a broader funding increase from the Helen Khoury program, which has expanded to R$ 3.6 million amid high demand for scientific dissemination projects across the region. Each event underscores Brazil's commitment to merging scientific education with community engagement across various disciplines, ensuring that the public remains closely intertwined with scientific advancements and environmental awareness.
