To strengthen the capacities of different actors for evidence-based decision-making, Cetic.br maintains permanent capacity-building programs such as the NIC.br Annual Workshop on Survey Methodology, which brings together experts to discuss innovative methodological approaches to the production, analysis, and dissemination of statistical data, and the School of Digital Transformation and Innovation in Latin America and the Caribbean, strengthening the debate on digital policies in the region. Cetic.br also supports capacity-building initiatives, such as massive open online courses (MOOCs) and thematic workshops.
NIC.br Annual Workshop on Survey Methodology
Held annually in partnership with the National School of Statistical Sciences (ENCE/IBGE), the workshop addresses emerging topics in survey methodology, aiming to improve the quality and availability of statistical data on digital technologies. Professionals from national statistical offices, government agencies, international organizations, the private sector, and academia share their knowledge on the subject through minicourses and interactive activities.
School of Digital Transformation and Innovation in Latin America and the Caribbean
Organized in partnership with international organizations, the program promotes multistakeholder debates on the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation and innovation in Latin America and the Caribbean. Since 2024, the initiative has been held as two separate events—one with programming in Spanish and another in English—respecting the cultural and linguistic specificities of the subregions.
Tech for Good: The Role of ICT in Achieving the SDGs
Offered through edX, the course is a joint initiative of Cetic.br|NIC.br, UNESCO, and the SDG Academy. It offers students a set of ten modules that address ICT as an essential component for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The course brings together thought leaders and changemakers around the world in areas related to ICT and sustainable development.
AI and the Rule of Law
Developed by UNESCO and The Future Society, with support from Cetic.br|NIC.br and other organizations, this introductory course engages judicial operators in a global debate on the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on the rule of law. It addresses the opportunities and risks of adopting AI technologies in justice systems, with a focus on human rights, AI ethics, and governance issues.
