LApIC (Laboratory of Innovative Applications in Computing) is a research and development space linked to the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF), Brazil, dedicated to advancing computer science through technological solutions with real impact on society. We connect theoretical foundations, computational innovation, and practical applications, with a strong focus on research in education, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and digital technologies. We seek to transform scientific knowledge into tools, methods, and systems that support decision-making, broaden access to information, and promote concrete improvements in educational and institutional processes.
