Background
This project is an educational partnership between LUT University in Finland and Federal University of Ceará (UFC) in Brazil. Our ambitious goal is to provide the necessary multidisciplinary training of interlinked sociotechnical aspects of a society increasingly dependent upon Artificial Intelligence-based cyber-physical systems. To reach this goal, we will combine the expertise from both partners in both fields to create an innovative joint educational program that consists in student exchanges, two intensive summer schools, development of a balanced curriculum between social sciences and engineering, as well as online courses and other materials that will help strengthen cooperation between countries. Our activities are placed in the context of unprecedent global challenges related to a green-digital twin transition that require a courageous, open and responsible multidisciplinary activities with the focus to the Sustainable Development Goals.
Coordination: Assoc. Prof. Pedro Nardelli and Assoc. Prof. Edemilson Paraná
