Abstract

The National Postgraduate Meetings held by Universidade Santa Cecília aim to establish a specialized space for master's and doctoral students, as well as specialization courses from all over Brazil, to disseminate and discuss their technical and scientific work. This space is of great importance for students and advisors to discuss and evaluate opinions of colleagues and professors, sharing and disseminating knowledge generated in the various postgraduate programs in Brazil.
