theme
The ITS Law School is an international school for those who wish to innovate how scientific research is conducted and broadcast in Brazil. During 3 days, the students learned innovative methodologies to deal with the social complexities that mark our current times.
Held in Rio de Janeiro, the school brought together Brazilian and foreign professors of different knowledge areas to explore the intersection between scientific knowledge, communication and civic rights. All classes and events were in English without simultaneous interpretation.
