Abstract

This is the 12th year that Universidade Santa Cecília has been promoting Graduate Meetings, with the aim of establishing a specialized space for students of Lato sensu and Stricto sensu specialization courses (Master's and Doctorate) from all over Brazil to disseminate and discuss their technical and scientific work.

This year, in which our University celebrates its 62nd anniversary, we will hold the meeting in person, just as it did last year. Thus, on October 6 and 7, 2023, we will hold the XII National Graduate Meeting (XII ENPG), in person, bringing together 180 researchers from different parts of the country; 3 mini-courses and 5 lectures with scientists working in technological innovation, and where the participating authors will present 93 panels in person, containing scientific papers previously selected and approved by the scientific committee.

This space for presenting scientific papers, mini-courses and lectures is of great importance for students and advisors to discuss and evaluate the opinions of fellow researchers, sharing and disseminating knowledge generated in the various postgraduate programs from different locations in Brazil and around the world. Therefore, the scientific articles presented in the panels and which will make up the Proceedings of the XII ENPG were written by authors linked to renowned postgraduate programs, addressing current issues that are at the forefront of advances in human knowledge.

This year we had a high number of registrations, papers submitted and interest has increased in participating in the lectures and mini-courses offered during the event, which shows the great interest of the technical-scientific community in high-level events such as the XII ENPG. We would like to remind you that the event is organized and held by faculty and students from the different postgraduate programs at UNISANTA and has the support of Brazilian scholarship funding agencies (CAPES, CNPq, FAPESP); the UNISANTA Journal Portal; being recognized by the UN - UNAI (United Nations Academic Impact), as an event of great academic impact due to its innovation, and the possibility of free access that promotes great social reach.

The record of these works is consolidated in this Edition of the XII ENPG that has the 93 complete articles approved, with full access to the scientific community through the OJS platform (Open Journal System) via the UNISANTA journal portal at: https://periodicos.unisanta.br/index.php/ENPG/

We wish you a good reading and hope to count on you in the next editions of the UNISANTA Postgraduate Meeting!
