Education, training, dissemination

The University of São Paulo (USP) has launched the Innovation OlympicGames and Prof. Maristela Basso has proposed the development of the projectModelo de Regulamentação Jurídica e Gestão da Internet das Coisas(IoT) - Model for IoT juridic regulation and governance.

It is exactly at this point that Juridical and Social Sciences may provide theircontribution. Our intent is to offer a product that allows for the integrationthe technological advance with minimal ethical patterns of social coexistenceand, in addition, for the respect of citizens guarantees and fundamentalrights, in a concentrated or diffused way.

Also for this reason we have associated to the CASAGRAS2 work that, inBrazil, is coordinated by Prof. José Amazonas and Escola Politécnica ofUSP, providing juridical consultancy and advice.
