2nd Brazilian Computer Science Graduate Seminar

The Seminar provides an opportunity for the community to analyze the Brazilian Graduate Programs in Computer Science with the support of an International Committee formed by leading researchers with extensive experience on the evaluation of graduate programs. The Seminar will be composed of presentations by the Head of the Graduate Programs Levels 5 to 7. Those of Level 6 and 7 will be accompanied by the International Committee and those of Level 5 by a National Committee. All graduate programs in Computer Science are expected to be represented by their coordinator(s) or representative.
