I. EVENTS HELD BY CEST

Three events were held in the first semester of 2017:

• I Seminar “Crowdsourcing – Opportunities and Challenges”, in April;
• III Seminar “Intelectual Property in the Information Society” in May; and
• “Smart Cities? Society and Technology on Debate" in June

In an interview given to journalist Bruno de Pierro, CEST researcher Aristóteles Moreira Filho contributed to the cover story of the Pesquisa FAPESP Magazine (Issue #256, June 2017 - Financing Science), commenting on issues related to tax incentives towards innovation. 

In an area where there is still much misinformation, the text "Reasons to Grant Incentives" helps in a large measure to understand such tools of great importance all the world over, its indispensable need, its effectiveness, and the critical issues that compromise the efficiency of the Brazilian regime and make its reform a fundamental demand of the C, T & I Brazilian system.
