The panel “The Challenges of Internationalization: Schools, Professors, and Students”, featuring Santiago Garcia, Loyda Gomez, and Mauricio Jucá (FIA Business School), examines the multifaceted process of building global academic engagement in higher education. The discussion explores how institutions can foster effective international partnerships, support professors in developing cross-cultural and pedagogical competencies, and equip students for success in global contexts. A key focus is the role of international accreditation — such as AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA — as both a driver and a benchmark of quality, shaping curriculum design, governance, and institutional culture. By connecting accreditation standards with broader goals of academic excellence and inclusiveness, the panel highlights strategies for balancing global recognition with local relevance, ensuring that internationalization truly strengthens the educational mission.

This research seminar will introduce Agentic AI systems, autonomous technologies capable of real-time decision-making and goal-directed interaction with their environment. It will explain key concepts of agency, outline the differences between AI agents and agentic systems, and distinguish Agentic AI from Generative AI, which primarily focuses on content creation without real-time autonomy. The talk will explore key challenges such as autonomy, integration, and governance, as well as opportunities in efficiency, scalability, and intelligent decision support. It will conclude with potential use cases in FinTech, Hospitality, and Entrepreneurship.

Em 2025, celebramos o centenário da formulação teórica da mecânica quântica devida, inicialmente, a Werner Heisenberg, em 1925, e Erwin Schrödinger, entre 1925 e 1926. Foi necessária uma ruptura com conceitos arraigados da física, que vivia um apogeu no final do século XIX. As novas idéias eram muito estranhas e, ainda hoje, desafiam nossa intuição. Ao longo dos últimos cem anos, a teoria foi meticulosamente testada. Nos últimos trinta anos, mudamos de um enfoque de testar as idéias estranhas da teoria para utilizá-las em revolucionárias tecnologias de informação. Nessa palestra, veremos alguns dos ingredientes dessa revolução e exemplos de tecnologias em desenvolvimento.
