For that, we count on the kind support of Canal Contemporâneo,  UOL, and the academic and technological support by the University of S. Paulo, through the School of Communications and Arts, Information Technology Group (CTI), and Center of Electronic Computing (CCE).

At the end of each day, reports will be published here at Permanent Forum web site.
