The webinar “Using Interdisciplinary Data and Concepts in Research: theTrajetórias Project” was held on 26th October, organised by the Vice-Presidency of Education, Information and Communication (VPEIC) of Fiocruz, in a partnership that involves the Fiocruz Hub team from The Global Health Network (TGHN Fiocruz) with Fiocruz Scientific Computing Program (Procc/Fiocruz). It presented the Trajetoria project and its dataset. Find more resources on the project below.
About the webinar
The Amazon region, which is one of the most biodiverse biomes in the world, is under threat due to increasing deforestation rates, intense extraction of minerals, and implementation of large-scale agrarian systems in a fragile environment. In Brazil, this biome is home for 30 million inhabitants, with a rich diversity of cultures. Providing economic solutions for this complex society demands ever-increasing exchanges of knowledge between academic and non-academic disciplines. The Scientific Synthesis project, “Trajetórias”, nursed within the Synthesis Center on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (Sinbiose-CNPq) developed a framework for the joint debate of the economic, environmental and human health solutions within the Amazon region. The "Trajetorias" dataset was developed linking human and environmental health to the rural techno-productive trajectories in Amazonian municipalities. In this talk, we will launch the Trajetorias dashboard, that allows the visualisation and interaction with the dataset and its indicators.
This webinar aims are: Introduce the main goals of the Trajetorias dataset; Present the Trajetorias dataset: its environmental, epidemiological and economic indicators using the dashboard; A synthesis of main results and potential uses.
