From May 20th to 23rd, the first act of the Symposium IOC Jubilee 125 years opened the celebrations for the anniversary of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (IOC/Fiocruz) with four days of full auditoriums and debates that connected history, science and the future.
The opening program discussed the challenges of Artificial Intelligence in the public sphere—regulation, social protection, and national strategy—and included panels on vaccines and nanotechnology.
The symposium also focused on innovation in public research, highlighting the work of Technological Innovation Centers (NITs) and advances in the legal framework for science. Innovative products from IOC, such as diagnostic kits and larvicides, which already generate royalties for the institution.
The event also marked the launch of a series of materials and actions by ArboAlvo, a project that seeks to develop a methodology for stratifying areas at risk of transmission of the dengue, Zika and chikungunya viruses.
Two documentaries were also presented on the development stages of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, in addition to the book 'Antimicrobial-resistant superbacteria', the result of vacation courses taught by postgraduate students at the Institute.
