De São Carlos para o Brasil: ICMC lidera e inspira ações em prol de mais igualdade e inclusão nas ciências exatas

Reconhecida como capital da tecnologia, São Carlos sediará dois projetos em âmbito nacional para estimular o ingresso, a formação, a permanência e a ascensão de meninas e mulheres na área de ciências exatas. Sob a coordenação das professoras Kamila Rios da Hora Rodrigues e Lina Maria Garcés Rodriguez, ambas do ICMC, os dois projetos conquistaram mais de R$ 2,5 milhões, que serão empregados em bolsas e iniciativas espalhadas por todas as regiões do Brasil durante os próximos três anos. 

“Nosso objetivo é construir uma Rede Brasileira para Engenharia e Ciências Exatas (REBECA), impulsionando as ações de universidades e grupos de extensão parceiros, para ampliarmos o alcance e os impactos já atingidos local e regionalmente”, ressalta Lina.

Já o projeto coordenado pela professora Kamila tem como objetivo expandir as atividades dos cursos Meninas Programadoras e Professoras Programadoras. Idealizados pela professora Maria da Graça Campos Pimentel, do ICMC, as iniciativas já certificaram mais de 1,1 mil estudantes da educação básica e 118 educadoras. “Agora, vamos criar e disponibilizar material didático, com o apoio de uma equipe multidisciplinar de pesquisadoras das áreas de computação, educação e saúde, de modo a oferecer processos formativos com foco em temas caros à população feminina, especificamente relações étnico-raciais e saúde da mulher”, destaca Kamila.

Os dois projetos foram contemplados com recursos em uma chamada especial do CNPq. “A aprovação das iniciativas coordenadas pelo ICMC é um exemplo vivo do alcance e da importância dos projetos de extensão na USP, reforçando o quanto o ensino, a pesquisa e a extensão podem se complementar, gerando bons resultados e engajando a sociedade”, complementa Kamila, que também é presidente da Comissão de Cultura e Extensão Universitária do ICMC. “A liderança do nosso Instituto nos dois projetos de âmbito nacional consolida nossa excelência também em fazer extensão”, acrescenta.

CIBSE 2025 – Extensión fecha simposio doctoral

CIbSE 2025 (XXVIII Ibero-American Conference on Software Engineering) se celebrará en Ciudad Real en mayo de este año. Es un hito importante, ya que será la primera vez que la conferencia se celebre en Europa. Puedes encontrar más detalles en la página oficial del evento: 

https://conf.researchr.org/home/cibse-2025

 

Dentro del marco de la conferencia, el simposio doctoral tendrá lugar el martes 13 de mayo de 2025. Durante la jornada, los estudiantes de doctorado presentarán sus trabajos, de manera presencial o remota, y recibirán feedback de un panel de expertos. Además, contaremos con la participación de Óscar Díaz, quien ofrecerá una charla invitada titulada “PhD walker, there is no research question; the question arises from literature searches”.

 

El objetivo de este mensaje es invitarte a animar a tus estudiantes doctorales a participar. Sería un verdadero honor contar con ellos.
