The Santos Dumont Institute (ISD) presented this Wednesday (20) the Semiannual Report on the execution of the Management Contract signed with the Ministry of Education (MEC), during a meeting of its Board of Directors. The document brings together the performance indicators and targets that will also be evaluated by the Management Contract Monitoring and Evaluation Committee (CAACG), established by the MEC.
By the end of the first half of 2025, the ISD registered a trend toward achievement across all 13 current indicators. Among the items evaluated were the success rate of the Master's Program in Neuroengineering, the occupancy of facilities by external researchers, and ongoing health education initiatives.
ISD activities are monitored on a biannual basis, allowing progress to be verified in relation to the results previously agreed upon with the Ministry of Education and making course adjustments when necessary, preventing situations that could compromise the achievement of annual goals.
On this occasion, the Board of Directors unanimously approved not only the Semiannual Report, but also the financial and management reports for the first half of 2025. The presentation was led by the General Director, Reginaldo Freitas Júnior, and the Administrative Director, Jovan Gadioli, who highlighted the relevance of ISD's work in the areas of teaching, research and extension.
Theodoro Paraschiva, Chairman of the Board of Directors, praised the results and highlighted the team's collective effort: "I particularly congratulate the achievement of over 90% in the Master's in Neuroengineering program. This result demonstrates the alignment of the research conducted with the real needs of the population, in addition to reflecting the quality of ISD's graduate programs," he stated.
