The registrations for the selection of research projects in Artificial Intelligence applied to the Justice System start this Tuesday (10th) and they continue until March 26th. The opportunity is offered by the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence (LIIARES) of the Superior School of the Judges of the State of Tocantins (Esmat), in partnership with the Scientific and Technological Support Foundation of the state of Tocantins (Fapto), which was published last Friday (6th), two notices for the development of research, development and innovation proposals aimed at the Judiciary, Public Management and Judicial Education.
The initiative seeks to encourage proposals that contribute to the improvement of judicial services, to the development of technological tools applied to public administration and to the expansion of training methodologies mediated by digital technologies.
The goal is to bring academic research closer to institutional challenges, stimulating the creation of solutions capable of improving judicial and administrative processes, as well as strengthening digital transformation initiatives in the Judiciary.
Projects with research scholarship
In all, seven projects will be selected with the granting of research scholarships for a period of up to 12 months. The opportunities are intended for researchers linked to postgraduate programs, distributed among three vacancies for doctoral, two for master’s and two for LATO SENSU post graduate, with scholarships that can reach R$ 3,500.00 (three thousand five hundred reais) monthly, according to the academic category.
