The exhibition featured details on the multidisciplinary teaching that is prioritized at the Institute, both at IIN-ELS in research on neuroengineering and neurosciences, and at CEPS in assistance to mothers and children and PwD's, areas that are integrated in the work of ISD. The importance of translational research for the Institute was also highlighted: basic research that starts at the bench, but ends with an application in the reality of people's lives.
O presidential decree of February 27, 2014 qualified the ISD as Social Organization. This format of partnership between the public and private sectors makes it possible for a non-profit company receive State resources to carry out services of public interest. Currently, ISD develops its activities through a Management Agreement signed with the Ministry of Education (MEC).
