The INCT Signals maintains institutional and scientific links with international societies affiliated with the IEEE, strengthening its integration into global networks of research, innovation, and human resource development.
These links are established primarily through the IEEE Northeast Brazil Signal Processing Society (SPS) Chapter and the IEEE Northeast Brazil Joint Chapter, which integrates the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc), IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Photonics Society.
Links with International Scientific Societies
IEEE chapters support INCT Signals activities through scientific cooperation and co-financing of events, lectures, seminars, and technical-scientific outreach activities. This support contributes to the organization of workshops, schools, thematic seminars, and lecture series in areas strategic to the project.
In particular, the chapters enable the participation of internationally recognized leading researchers, including guest speakers, experts from IEEE societies, and Distinguished Lecturers, who can visit Brazil and INCT's partner universities to give seminars, interact with students and researchers, and foster new scientific collaborations.
Support for INCT Signals events
Topics of common interest
The activities supported by these societies cover topics aligned with the mission of INCT Signals, including:
Signal processing;
Wireless communications and 5G/6G networks;
Sensing, radar, and intelligent systems;
Optical and photonic communications;
Artificial intelligence applied to signals and communications;
Computing, security, signal surveillance, and autonomous systems;
Emerging technologies for communications, sensing, and monitoring.
Cooperation with international scientific societies broadens the scope of INCT Signals' actions and strengthens the training of students, early-career researchers, and faculty involved in the project. Furthermore, it promotes the circulation of cutting-edge knowledge, brings the Brazilian community closer to international scientific forums, and encourages the creation of new academic and technological partnerships.
These partnerships reinforce INCT Signals' commitment to scientific excellence, internationalization, and the dissemination of knowledge in areas that are strategic for the scientific and technological development of Brazil.
