On November 23, 2018, representatives of Instituto Santos Dumont (ISD) participated in the launch of Fesftech, hub that intends to make viable an ecosystem favorable to the development of technological projects and innovation in health in Bahia. The initiative is from Family Health State Foundation (FESF-SUS), which on the occasion promoted, in the Technological Park of Bahia, the debate “Health 4.0 – Challenges for Innovation”, with lectures by Edgard Morya, Research Coordinator of the Edmond and Lily Safra International Institute of Neuroscience (IIN-ELS/ISD), by the former Minister of Health, José Gomes Temporão, and the Senior Consultant in Innovation Management, Ana Pires. Edgard closed the event with the lecture “Advances and challenges of technologies used in health”, in which he spoke about the work and research carried out at the IIN-ELS, in Macaíba (RN).
On the occasion of the launch of Fesftech, the General Director of ISD, Reginaldo Freitas Junior, and the General Director of FESF-SUS, Carlos Alberto Trindade, signed a technical-scientific cooperation agreement, whose bases establish “the carrying out of research, teaching, exchange of technical-scientific information, development and provision of integrated services in areas of common interest, especially those related to the areas of neurosciences, without prejudice to the individual and independent action of each of the participants.”
Reginaldo states that “this is the time for the country's teaching and research institutions to join efforts to strengthen Brazilian science and enhance cooperation interfaces. In this way, the ISD has sought to expand its operations in the Brazilian Northeast and sees in FESF-SUS and the creation of Fesftech, important opportunities to achieve this common objective.”
The agreement encompasses the actions developed by the Santos Dumont Institute, in Macaíba (RN), both in the IIN-ELS and in the Anita Garibaldi Health Education and Research Center (CEPS/ISD), at work in the areas of maternal and child health and the health of Persons with Disabilities. This is the seventeenth scientific cooperation agreement signed by ISD.
