WG1: Fundamental statistical and geoscientific themes and incorporation of administrative records as official data sources
Considering the demands for social, economic and environmental statistics, the incorporation of administrative records as a source of data becomes a challenge. Different organizations produce a huge volume of information, data and records for a number of purposes. Transforming these records into sources of data for geoscientific and statistical purposes has become a major challenge today

Working groups
WG1 – Communication infrastructure
Communication in the 21st century is increasingly based on platformization, supported by major infrastructures in transportation, storage, processing and consumption of digital data. These include logical structures that grow in complexity every day, such as deep learning algorithms and Large Language Models (LLMs), besides automation systems with a variety of functions. They also comprise solid physical structures such as fiber backbones and backhauls, submarine and land cables, datacenters, satellites and 5G antenna systems, among others. This entire apparatus with its social implications meets the demands of certain business models. The objective of this topic is to understand how communication infrastructure is organized in Brazil and to learn about its political, economic and material dimensions.

Participants:
- Juliano Mendonça Domingues da Silva, President of the Brazilian Society of Interdisciplinary Communication Studies - Intercom
- Sivaldo Pereira, University of Brasília - UnB
WG2 – Data production, dissemination and certification
Government agencies produce a variety of information about the cycle of public policies, including not only detailed considerations about the expansion of citizenship rights, but also data about the relationship between the citizen and the government. Opportunities for the dissemination of information of this kind can increase with the aid of new formats and forms of support that make it even more necessary to ensure data protection and authenticity.

Participants:
- Danilo Rothberg, São Paulo State University - Unesp
- Iluska Coutinho, Federal University of Juiz de Fora - UFJF
WG3 - Data sovereignty
Global flows of data can represent, in some countries, loss of sovereignty as they generate technological dependence and asymmetrical relationships with other parties, including corporations, economic blocs or nations. In a scenario where data grow in value and clearly become an asset as the raw material for a new industry, it is necessary to establish protocols, norms, and have regulating entities and public policies to protect the user. Data sovereignty means having the State play this role as a protector, thus ensuring that the data collected in a territory will be subject to the laws applicable there. Privacy protection, data security and the limits imposed to digital surveillance are important dimensions in this context.

WG4 - Official data and copyright
The State has been, historically, an important producer of information. That condition has reached a new level in the digital era, with its opportunities and challenges. Different government agencies make official data available with a variety of topic of formats, such as, for example, the census, statistical bases, reports, videos, booklets and other documents related to the activities performed. How can information be used for the sake of public interest? In a context marked by a new industrial revolution based on digital data, in which information plays a central role, the commercial use of these data by third parties, the relationship with copyright issues, the use of official data for Artificial Intelligence (AI) training and the role of these data in innovation are some of the dimensions that require special attention. In this respect, it is necessary to debate and establish principles and parameters for the production, dissemination and reuse of official data.

WG5 - Digital literacy
Media and information literacy includes the development of digital competence for critical engagement with information, safe online navigation and the fight against misinformation and hate speech. Additional objectives of media and information literacy are learning how to create reliable information systems and promoting the acquisition of abilities to deal with digital innovations, such as artificial intelligence, in both formal and informal learning environments.

- Professor Cosette Espindola de Castro, PhD from the Open University of Barcelona - Spain
WG6 – Capture of private data
Data are usually collected without proper consent and used for commercial or surveillance purposes, which compromises individual privacy. In the current scenario where information is a valuable asset, it is crucial to create strong public policies and tools that can guarantee the integrity and confidentiality of personal data. Promoting transparency in data collection practices and ensuring that institutions that deal with information adopt strict security measures is essential. Data security is fundamental to build public trust and safeguard the integrity of research and innovation processes in Brazil.
These issues also affect the field of intellectual property and have a direct effect on the choices of technological patterns for several integrated systems such as transport layers, modulation codecs, audio and video compression and middleware.
The costs of broadband implementation, digital television dissemination, the launch of low-orbit satellites, etc.
