XIV Science and Technology Week

In 2023, the XIV edition of the SCT will take place in a in-person and virtual format and has the theme “Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development.” The theme chosen by the MCTI refers to the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development and recognizes the importance of basic sciences to achieve at least seven of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). Therefore, the XIV SCT aims to promote discussions on knowledge and experiences related to the intersection of science, technology, and innovation for equitable and sustainable development, seeking to contribute to the SDGs. Sustainable development is the development that meets the needs of the current generation without compromising the natural resources needed for future generations.

Thus, discussions like those that will take place at the XIV SCT are essential for understanding the potential of the intersection of science, technology, innovation, and all areas of knowledge in addressing regional, national, and global challenges.

The XIV SCT will occur from October 23 to 27, in both in-person and virtual formats, at the Unesc Campus in Criciúma and at the Araranguá Unit. During the XIV SCT, the 23rd Scientific Initiation Seminar, the 15th Extension Fair, the 13th Teaching Fair, the 9th Postgraduate Fair, the 10th Innovation Fair, the 10th Cultural Talent, the 9th Science Fair, the 8th Archaeology Workshop, and the 6th Lecture Series of the Zoology Museum will be held. The event consists of lectures, workshops, mini-courses, and presentations of research, extension, and teaching/experience reports.
