II FAPERJ Fair
INCT-INOFAR was present in the II FAPERJ Fair of Science, Technology &
Innovation, which took place on the Culture Center for Citizenship Action, in
downtown Rio de Janeiro on June 29 and 30. The Fair has the goal of exposing, in a
dynamic and fun way, the main advancements in research and innovation in the state
supported by the Carlos Chagas Filho Foundation of Research Support in Rio de
Janeiro (FAPERJ). As it is headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, INCT-INOFAR has the
support of FAPERJ to develop its research activities.
INCT-INOFAR was part of the II FAPERJ Fair with a 16 m2 stand. The space was
decorated with posters illustrating the INCT-INOFAR goals and its research structure, as
well as the main discoveries of the Institute. In an interactive and dynamic way, researchers
associated with the Institute received visitors to the “New Pharmaceuticals” stand presenting
the latest INCT-INOFAR innovations in the research for new pharmaceuticals and its
main activities in the fields of scientific awareness and health education.
To call the attention of the public present, INCT-INOFAR took large scale
medication boxes to demonstrate the care one should have when purchasing
medications. In the interaction with visitors, specialists highlighted the meaning of
each color band in the packaging (red, black, and no band), as well as presenting the
main characteristics of generic drugs.
