International Events
Events held in collaboration with FGV Comunicação Rio's international partners promote not only high-level discussions on the field of Digital Communication and its interfaces with the Social Sciences and Data Science, but also the exchange of experiences with authorities, private sector leaders and representatives of academia and civil society from Brazil and abroad.
Summer Institute in Computational Social Science (SICSS)
Since 2021, FGV Comunicação Rio promotes the Brazilian edition of the Summer Institute in Computational Social Science (SICSS), a free two-week training program in Computational Social Science. The event has been held annually since 2017, organized by professors Chris Bail (Duke University) and Matthew Salganik (Princeton University). Bringing together master's students, doctoral students, post-doctoral students and professors, SICSS consists of a network course on digital and computational methods, with a central edition and several local editions simultaneous to the main edition.
Duke in Brazil Summer Program (DiB)
The collaboration between FGV Comunicação Rio and Duke University aims to strengthen the school's relationship with a leading institution abroad, as well as guaranteeing an intercultural and globalized education for our students. Once a year, FGV Comunicação Rio hosts students from the intensive Portuguese language and Brazilian culture course run by Duke University. Through immersive activities in the school's laboratories facilitated by the teachers, the undergraduate classes introduce the visiting students to the field of Digital Communication and its relationship with the axes of the DiB Program: social problems and environmental problems in Brazil.
One of FGV Comunicação Rio's priorities is to encourage student mobility through exchange programs with partner foreign Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Formal short and long-term exchange programs allow outgoing students to spend a semester or an academic year at partner universities, gaining valuable international experience.
Participation in exchange programs offers students the opportunity to enrich their academic and personal training through experiences in educational environments of excellence abroad, internationalizing their academic career while still an undergraduate. In addition, the exchange program qualifies their future professional performance, preparing them to face global challenges and increasing their competitiveness in the job market.
The partnership with institutions abroad also promotes the international insertion of FGV Comunicação Rio as an important player in communication, media and information on a global scale.
